Acknowledgments

This book could not have been written without the support of numerous people. At the University of Memphis, Daniel Larsen, Jerry Bartholomew, and David Dye, who friendly encouraged me to apply for a sabbatical leave and provided moral and professional support. I am indebted to College of Arts and Sciences and Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Memphis for your generosity. I would not be able to focus on writing otherwise. Thank you for creating a stimulating atmosphere in which to work productively. I would like to thank DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst e.V.) (German Academic Exchange Service) for granting me a research scholarship. It gave me an amazing opportunity to design and implement my research. This is where the idea was born. I want to express my gratitude to the entire Geography Department at the University of Duisburg-Essen (Essen, Germany) including a group of students who assisted with questionnaire administration and all faculty including Prof. Dr. Rudolf Juchelka, Friedrich Schulte-Derne, Ulrike Ohl, Ulrike Overbeck, Svenja
