ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book emerged from a conference, "Landscape and Technology," held at Odense University in Denmark in January 1997. That event would not have been possible without financial support from the President of Odense University, Henrik Tvarn, and from the Center for Man and Nature, a five-year research project funded by the Danish Humanities Research Council from 1992 until June 1997. Svend Erik Larsen, then the center's leader, was supportive throughout the planning stages of the conference, and the center staff, particularly Henrik Juel, made sure the event ran smoothly.
