Some of these people shared their knowledge and experience of disasters, some covered my classes while I visited hurricane-stricken regions, some traveled with me to those regions, and others read all or parts of the book in early stages. I would like to thank Jonathan Balcombe, Jenny Bennett, Theo Capaldi, Bridgette Chesne, Susie Coston, Kevin Dennison, Ron Desnoyers, Debra Parsons Drake, Lynelle Dupepe, Ali Hatch, Hal Herzog, Keith Larson, Sean Angus MacKinnon, Sally Matluck, John Pippin, Trish Ritterbusch, Brad Shear, and Kim Sturla. I thank the Department of Sociology and the Natural Hazards Research Center of the University of Colorado, the Humane Society of Boulder Val- ley, and the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators. I also thank Marc Bekoff, who championed this book throughout the process, and Janet Francendese, of Temple University Press, who provided valuable editorial guidance and support. Finally, the words thank you cannot convey the deep appreciation and gratitude I owe my husband, Marc Krulewitch. Filling the Ark
