This book would not be possible without all my interviewees and the many people
wholinked me with them. I want to thank my inclusive colleagues at the University
of Arkansas for inviting me to join research teams and serve on sustainability
related committees, and my outstanding graduate students for sharing my enthusi
asm. Special thanks go to the Rockport Daily Grind brew crew for providing me
with a welcoming Texas location where I wrote the first half of the book. Most
especially, thanks to my husband, A.J. Allen, who traveled alongside me on the
Lewis and Clark trail, ran our household during the 2-year book project, and has
been my solid foundation and source of encouragement for over 3.5 decades
