The Encyclopedia of Disability is the result of an enormous worldwide, multidisciplinary effort that took six years to conceive and execute, involving 74 editors and more than 500 authors from over twenty countries. The work is the result of lively interactions at conferences, seminars, and editorial board meetings conducted over a cup of tea or a glass of wine, through email, and on conference calls. In many cases, the colleagues, students, and staff of the editors and authors in various parts of the world became support systems and sounding boards for component pieces of the project. Because of the size and complexity of the encyclopedia, it is impossible to recognize everyone who directly or indirectly contributed. Nevertheless, we express our deep gratitude to all of these researchers, colleagues, disabled people, advocates, students, government officials, and policy makers who made this incredible project happen and who stimulated others through their knowledge and resourcefulness.
