Acknowledgements
The editors are grateful to so many people who have in many and quiet ways supported this project. The authors have generously written and without you there would be no project. We also look forward to future collaborations in ESREA and its networks. The staff and editors at Palgrave have been patient and gently pushing the project forward always. But in many ways the co-authors here are part of much larger communities of research and scholarship in and across Europe and America, and we acknowledge the enthusiasm, work and interests we share with all of them.
