W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton !rst published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The !rm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts—were !rmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W. W. Norton & Company stands as the largest and oldest publishing house owned wholly by its employees.  \nEditor: Julia Reidhead  \nAssociate Editor: Carly Fraser Doria  \nManaging Editor, College: Marian Johnson Manuscript Editors: Susan Joseph, Jennifer Harris, Katharine Ings, Pam Lawson, and Jack Borrebach  \nElectronic Media Editor: Eileen Connell  \nMarketing Manager, Literature: Kimberly Bowers  \nProduction Manager: Benjamin Reynolds  \nPhoto Editor: Michael Fodera  \nEditorial Assistants: Hannah Blaisdell, Jennifer Barnhardt Permissions Manager: Megan Jackson  \nPermissions Clearing: Nancy J.
