  This represents the book proposal I submitted at the close of my sabbatical in Spring 2013. The proposal consists of 4 complete chapters, with a 5th on the way. Two outside readers reviewed the proposal and gave it strong recommendations to publish upon its completion, which should take place sometime in 2014.
