Acknowledgments

This book is the result of many years of individual and collaborative work. As all long-term projects, we would not have been able to complete it without the commitment of all the book contributors, and to the financial support of the Research Department at Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla. Any errors, opinions, or conclusions are ours and do not reflect the views or positions of our institutions.

We have received great help from our colleagues and students, through fruitful discussions and feedback after reading our earlier drafts of the chapters at Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla (IBERO Puebla), Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla (UPAEP), Benemérita Universiadad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), and Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO), where all of us – contributors to this book – work. Our sincere appreciation to Tamara Pérez García for her many hours of research assistance in preparing the figures, tables, maps, and text in this book. We would also like to thank two anonymous reviewers that gave us very useful advice at the early stages of this book, and our editors for all the very constructive and useful comments and their patience.

Finally, we want to offer our deepest thanks to our friends and families for their support and understanding during this long process.
