We wish to thank members of the International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction (IBSTPI) for their encouragement of this project and their permission to use The Standards as the foundation for this book. (A description of IBSTPI appears on the next page for those who are curious about what the board is and what it stands for.) While any mistakes in this book are entirely our responsibility and not that of the International Board, we are indebted to the board members for their support.

William J. Rothwell also thanks his graduate research assistant Jae Young Lee for her assistance in helping to secure, and repeatedly follow up on, necessary copyright permissions.
