ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Few studies in history are truly individual efforts, for nearly all build in part upon the works of earlier scholars. Most historians also depend on the suggestions of others to help them define and clarify their thoughts. I certainly do. I would like to thank William Childs, William B. McCloskey, Jr., and Tom Weeks for their comments on earlier drafts of this work. I would like to thank as well Mark Rose, who took the lead for the editors of the book series in which this volume appears, and Robert Lockhart, Senior History Editor for the University of Pennsylvania Press, for their many insights and suggestions. Arthur McEvoy, the outside reader for the Press, also deserves my thanks for his comments. I remain, of course, solely responsible for any errors of fact or interpretations which this work may contain. I presented parts of this information in seminars at the Eleutherian-Mills Hagley Foundation and the Harvard Business School in the fall of 2008 and would like to thank the participants of those seminars for their thoughts. Some of the themes developed in this book were foreshadowed in Chapter 4 of my Pathways to the Present: U.S. Development and Its Consequences in the Pacific; in my “Business Historians and the Global Over Fishing Crisis: Opportunities for Research,” which I presented at the 2008 meeting of the Business History Conference, and in two published articles: “A Tale of Two Fisheries: Fishing and Over Fishing in American Waters,” Origins 11 (September 2008): 1–5, www.ehistory.edu/osu/origins, and “Fishers, Fishing, and Over Fishing: American Experiences in Global Perspective, 1976–2006,” Business History Review (Summer 2009): 239–66. As always, I am indebted to my colleagues in the Department of History at The Ohio State University for creating a stimulating atmosphere in which to work. On this project, I am especially grateful to Philip Brown for discussions about the history of the management of common-pool resources. Finally, I would like to thank the College of the Arts and Humanities at The Ohio State University for released time from teaching and service in 2009 to conduct research on this project.
