Acknowledgments

THIS BOOK WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE without the encouragement, ideas, interest, and practical support of Steve Piersanti, the President, and Jeevan Sivasubramanian, the Corporate and Editorial Administrator, of Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc. It was an honor to be accepted by them and a pleasure to work with them. As one author told me, “If Berrett-Koehler will do your book, you’d be a fool to look anywhere else!” He was right.

I am indebted to Hazel Henderson, Donald Lee Rome, Carl Henn, David Korten, and Maya Porter, who encouraged me to write a book and gave me all sorts of help along the way.

I am also grateful to Stephen J. Butler, Jonathan Forman, Gail Gormley, Thomas H. Greco, Jr., Sara Jane Hope, John McIntyre, D. Bruce Merrifield, Marlene Silva, Joseph A. Webb, Mavis Wilson, and Paul Wright for their insightful reviews and invaluable suggestions for improving the earlier versions.

Finally, I want to thank Linda Jupiter, project manager; Sandra Beris, copy editor; and all the other team members for their kind advice, assistance, and professional contributions.
