The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of the
following individuals who wrote the 1980 edition of Jordan: A
Country Study: Robert Rinehart, Irving Kaplan, Darrel R. Eglin,
Rinn S. Shinn, and Harold D. Nelson. Their work provided the
organization of the present volume, as well as substantial portions
of the text.
The authors are grateful to individuals in various government
agencies and private institutions who gave their time, research
materials, and expertise to the production of this book. Special
thanks are owed to the Jordan Information Bureau, which provided
numerous photographs not otherwise credited, as well as photographs
that served as the basis for the art work in this volume. Thanks go
also to Dr. Helen Khal for her assistance in obtaining both the
photographs and some data on Jordanian social welfare legislation.
The authors also wish to thank members of the Federal Research
Division who contributed directly to the preparation of the
manuscript. These people include Thomas Collelo, who reviewed all
drafts and graphic material; Richard F. Nyrop, who reviewed all
drafts and who served as liaison with the sponsoring agency; and

and Izella Watson.
Individual chapters were edited by Sharon Costello. Catherine
Schwartzstein performed the final prepublication editorial review,
and Shirley Kessel compiled the index. The Library of
Congress Composing Unit prepared the camera-ready copy, under the
supervision of Peggy Pixley.
