Because the information in this book was accumulated over more than two decades I cannot hope to acknowledge everyone who helped with information or company in the field. In the text I mention many biologists and naturalists who showed me birds or provided interviews or information for which I am very grateful. I wont repeat their names here, with the exception of Les Christidis and Richard Schodde, who each submitted to several hours of questioning, and Sara Legge, John Woinarski and Stephen Garnett, who responded patiently to many questions about grassland birds. I am not implying that any experts I consulted agree with my conclusions.
The Australian Antarctic Division awarded me an Antarctic Arts Fellowship to visit Antarctica and Macquarie Island, and I thank Rob Easther and Cathy Bruce in particular. In 2012 I benefited from a Churchill Fellowship to investigate climate change biology in the Northern Hemisphere, since birds were part of the focus. Roger Kitching, Griffith University, invited me to Sabah. The Hawaii Conservation Alliance was generous with accommodation in Honolulu.
Carol Booth helped in every way possible from pointing out birds in the field to locating journal articles and editing several chapters. Doug Laing provided accommodation and excellent company in Zimbabwe and elsewhere and found me passage on a barge serving Torres Strait. Jayne Balmer and Cascade Cohousing provided accommodation and generous hospitality during multiple visits to Hobart. Simon and Rose Cavendish loaned their car for a Kimberley trip. Jenny Horwood proofread the text with great care. Terry Reis helped in many ways. Others I am grateful to include Steve Anyon-Smith, Patrick Couper, Neil Doran, Nic Dunlop, Owen Foley, Mark Holdsworth, Conrad Hoskin, Gerald Mayr, Geoff Monteith, Tony Nicholas, Damon Oliver, Lisa Preston, Mark Read, Robbie Ward.
People outside Australia who helped include Malcolm Ausden (UK), Maryanne Bache (US, Mexico), Jack Craw (New Zealand), Peter Gaze (New Zealand), Jack Jeffrey (Hawaii), Linda Kelly (Zimbabwe, US), Wilberforce Okeka (Kenya), Sonja Wipf and Christian Rixen (Switzerland). To those I have forgotten to mention I apologise. To minimise the carbon footprint most of my overseas travel was undertaken following invited attendance at conferences and workshops.
For the support that Penguin provided I am very grateful. My editor, Meredith Rose, showed a level of commitment that I suspect is rare in publishing these days, and which shines through in every aspect of this project and led to many improvements. Ben Ball as publisher was also very committed to producing the best possible book. Alex Ross provided an excellent cover and Adam Laszczuk a wonderful text design.
