Acknowledgments We owe much gratitude and thanks to Rachael Ballard and Joanna O’Neill at Palgrave Macmillan in London for their patience and guidance throughout this process. We would also like to thank Brian Bossak who inspired Mark to think about writing a book on human-environment. We must also express our sincere thanks and appreciation for our families’ support over the many years we worked on this project. We would not have been able to complete this book without the continued support of Theresa Welford, Mary Beth Yarbrough, Isabel Yarbrough, and Eleanor Yarbrough. Thank you, and we love you!
