Acknowledgments
We wish to thank everyone from Milltown, Montana, and the nearby communities who took the time to share their thoughts and feelings about the cleanup. We also thank our series editors, Sean Kelly and Scott Frisch, for believing in this project and Cambria Press, especially Toni Tan and Nicole Ford, for giving us the opportunity to see it to completion. We extend special gratitude to our outside reviewers for making helpful comments.
We also wish to acknowledge the Environmental Studies program at California State University, Channel Islands, for hosting Susan Gilbertz during its 2008–2009 speaker series, where she presented preliminary findings from this project.
