Page ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My thinking across the fields of environmental law, marine policy, and conservation biology has been deeply informed by visionaries. Some I had the great pleasure to know personally or to work with closely, whereas a few I know solely through the lingering voice of the written word. These remarkable people include Stanley Anderson, Jack Archer, Tanya Atwater, Dave Brower, David Caron, Rachel Carson, Biliana Cicin-Sain, Barry Commoner, Robert Costanza, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Sylvia Earle, Daniel Fiorino, Bob Friedheim, Dan Hauser, Tim Hennessey, Marc Hershman, Richard Hildreth, Ann Hollick, Jon Jacobson, Larry Juda, Herbert Kaufman, Richard Kenchington, Jim Kennett, John Kingdon, Bob Knecht, Amory Lovins, James Lovelock, Dean Mann, Lynn Margulis, Daniel Mazmanian, J. Marc McGinnes, Mary Morgan, Rod Nash, Elliott Norse, Orrin Pilkey, G. Carleton Ray, Paul Sabatier, Michael Soul, Lewis Thomas, Jon Van Dyke, John Vasconcellos, E. O. Wilson, and George Woodwell. Many other people far too numerous to name here have helped as well, and I extend my deep gratitude to you all.
