Acknowledgements
This book is the product of many people, most importantly, the contributing authors. We heartily thank the authors for their co-operative participation in seeing this book through several stages and some unexpected turns in development, including the many challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. We enjoyed working with all our contributors and appreciated their eagerness to produce as comprehensive and up-to-date chapters as possible and to respond to many different rounds of editing.
We wish to thank the anonymous reviewers that carefully read through each of the chapters and provided helpful comments. These individuals, of course, are not responsible for any author’s errors of commission or omission, but their observations provided great help in improving the book.
We are grateful to the Québec government for providing funding that made this book possible, including its release in an open-access format.
We are also very grateful to Sarah Lambert, Emma Kiddle, and the entire editing and production team at Cambridge University Press for supporting this book from the proposal stage to the delivery of the manuscript.
We thank, as well, Juliette Bourdeau de Fontenay, Elise Mallette, and Amanda Bowie-Edwards who helped to proofread and format the chapters.
Finally, we owe a debt of gratitude to our loved ones for supporting us throughout the production of this book, as well as the ups and downs of the last two years.
