ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I gratefully acknowledge the contribution of my thesis committee to the development of my ideas on appraisal. My thesis supervisor, Luciana Duranti, willingly gave of her time, talent and knowledge; Norman Prelypchan shared his knowledge of Canadian law; and David Breen provided an historical perspective of appraisal issues and offered encouragement and support. The contributions of each one helped to refine the final product. iv
