It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with so many outstanding scholars during the twenty-five years I have spent researching and writing about environmental politics. It is impossible to thank them all here, but if they read these words they will surely know who they are. In relation to this particular book, I would like to thank two anonymous readers who made valuable suggestions on both the plan for the book and its first draft. Chris Loynes and Lucy Sargisson made important comments on points of detail, while Neil Carter, Brian Doherty, Sherilyn MacGregor, and John Vogler all read specific chapters in the midst of their own busy schedules and helped me to improve the text enormously. I am very grateful both to them and to everyone else in the uniquely supportive environmental politics scholarly community. Finally, I would like to thank Jenny Nugee at OUP for her invaluable editorial suggestions, and Joy Mellor for her excellent copyediting.
