Acknowledgments
This book draws upon papers produced by various scholars. Among them, I am indebted to Mrs Rebecca J. Erikson, Mrs. Linda F. Hogle, Mrs. Julie Ozanne, Mrs. Juliet Schor, Mr. Kalman Applbaum, Mr. Finn Bowring, Mr. Doug Foley and Mr. Joseph Sirgy. Jointly, I would like to thank them for having offered me a chance to benefit from their expertise and sharing their works. Thanks also to the friends who helped improve the manuscript or tempering my own enthousiasm about these topics. I am especially grateful for Carlo Schiavi and Raul Espinosa. Moreover, I am also extremely thankful to Mr. Ad Van Iterson. He has been a great thesis supervisor. He has demonstrated tremendous abilities to listen, to re-orient without manipulating and given me the necessary liberty to write this thesis. His pedagogy and communication skills are undoubtedly unquestionable. I would like to thank my family for its support during my academic years. They have demonstrated me how much I can count on them whatever my ideals, initiatives and differences will be. I am highly grateful to them.
