To my Dad, who has taught me how to do so many things.

He might not believe in climate change, but he has always believed in me.

Knowledge is high in the head, but the salmon of wisdom swims deep.

This book would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of many others. At the top of this long list is my mentor, Jerrold Long. Thank you for encouraging this oftentimes messy interdisciplinary work. Your thoughtful and honest advice, support, and perseverance in helping me clarify my arguments, my ideas, and my writing has made this book what it is. Thank you to Jennifer Ladino, Adam Sowards, and Brian Kennedy for their help and support in developing this project and their advice in seeing it through. And, especially, thank you to Barbara Cosens, for her mentorship and inspiration in pursuing adaptive governance scholarship.
