<br />Acknowledgments <br /> <br />I feel rather awkward about being listed as the sole author of this book, <br />because the research and writing of it were remarkable experiences involving a <br />diversity of individuals and organizations. This project was truly a partner- <br />ship, and I am honored to have had the privilege and opportunity to meet, <br />work with, and learn from its many contributors. I want to express my appre- <br />ciation to the Arizona Game and Fish Department Heritage Fund, National <br />Fish and Wildlife Foundation, School of Renewable Natural Resources of the <br />University of Arizona, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Bureau of <br />Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and World Wildlife Fund for <br />funding the research and development of this guidebook. My heartfelt thanks <br />to Waite Osterkamp (U.S. Geological Survey), Guy McPherson (University of <br />Arizona), and Mary Schmid (Rincon Institute) for the hours they spent poring <br />over the manuscript and grooming my often chaotic sentences into something <br />readable. Many thanks also to my office mates for their patience and support <br />over the years, and to Laura Jackson (University of Northern Iowa); Juliet <br />Stromberg (Arizona State University); Bruce Roundy (Brigham Young Univer- <br />sity); Rick Paradis (University of Vermont); Frank Gregg, Phil Guertin, Roy <br />Keys, Phil Ogden, William Shaw, and Erv Zube (University of Arizona); Steve <br />Moore (Center for Image Processing in Education); Reginald Briggs (Geo- <br />mega); Luther Propst (Rincon Institute); Douglas Morris and Bill Paleck (Na- <br />tional Park Service); Leonard DeBano, Pattie Fenner, and Greg Goodwin (U.S. <br />Forest Service); Robert Hall and Al Bammann (U.S. Bureau of Land Manage- <br />ment); and James Roelle and Michael Scott (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) for <br />reviewing, editing, and supporting this project. <br />
