Acknowledgments

It is my great pleasure to thank several special people who have made this book possible. I would like to thank Kimberly Chadwick of Emerald Publishing for her enthusiasm and faith in this project. I'm grateful to Ruxandra Apostolescu for her help with the preparation of the manuscript, and to Steve Kotok and Julia Mahfouz who provided invaluable feedback and insightful comments that have made the book stronger. I thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration with Volha (Olga) Chykina on Chapter 6. I'm thankful to Oren Pizmony-Levy for offering me the opportunity to share my work in progress at Columbia University and to Maia Chankseliani for inviting me to the University of Oxford. I have greatly benefitted from the thoughtful audiences at both seminars.

I'm grateful for the love and support of my parents, Larisa Kelner and Boris Shteinfeld. My uncle, Slava Kelner, did not have his own children but was constantly present in my life. He did not live to see this project come to fruition, but I'm sure he would have been very proud. Anything I do makes sense and has a meaning because I can share it with the best partner in the world, my husband Yosef Bodovski. I wouldn't be so drawn to the subject of childhood and parenting if it wasn't for the greatest gift of my life, my son David.
