My lovely wife, Zane, and our loving, older cat, Zoe, granted me their patience during the long hours that I plied the seemingly endless literature and the keys of my computer. Their understanding made writing this book a daily joy. In addition, Zane did a wonderful job of proofreading the galleys. I am deeply grateful to Doreen Valentine of Rutgers University Press for her brilliant organizational editing and for once again instructing me in good writing, while simultaneously improving the clarity of the text for you, the reader. Copyeditor Pamela Fischer then took the manuscript and guided me through the process of repairing the editorial potholes I had inadvertently built into the text; along the way she taught me about the finer points of editorial repair. Beyond that, the Rutgers team took over and, with their usual excellence, produced the book you are holding. Finally, Global Forest Science, a worldwide research foundation, graciously offered financial support for the publication of this book. On behalf of all generations , “Thank you.” ACKNOWLEDGMENTS xvii [44.213.80.203] Project MUSE (2024-03-28 10:07 GMT) Earth in Our Care ...
