All material must be double-spaced, with a
1"margin on all sides (1½" if on A4 paper).

Tables
Tables must be placed on separate pages following the text, and should be designed to fit on a standard book page (4.5" X 7" print area). Entitle each table, and make sure each column has a heading.
Preparing Electronic Artwork
Figures must be professional-quality drawings, charts or graphs, or glossy half-tone photographs. Computer-generated art must be output on a laser printer (600-dpi minimum); all elements must be proportionate and sized for reduction to fit a 4.5" X 7" page. Be sure that columns and bars can be distinguished from each other by using distinctive stipplings, cross-hatchings (but not screen tints). Figures may be submitted in EPS or TIFF format, with a separate file for each. Do not embed graphics in the text file; save graphics as separate EPS or TIFF files. Do not use color in graphs or charts; convert color to B/W. The cost of color reproduction and presswork, approximately $3500, must be borne by the author.
Copyright Transfer Agreement
Please sign and return a Copyright Transfer Agreement with your manuscript. If you are reprinting figures from another source, it is your responsibility to acquire a letter of permission from the copyright holder and forward the signed original permission letter to us.
Authors' Addresses
The full address (including e-mail), phone and fax numbers of the corresponding author must appear on the title page (simple affiliations with postal codes are sufficient for other authors). The first author will assumed to be the corresponding author unless other instructions are given.
