The Uni- versity of Wisconsin provided a Research Scholarship for Travel Abroad. Most of the archival research took place in the Wisconsin State Histor- ical Society Library (chapter 3) and the Bodleian Library in Oxford (chapters 4 and 5). I was also allowed to make use of the archives of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in London (for chapter 5). The use of these resources was invaluable. The following people have pro- vided encouragement and criticism along the way: Yi-Fu Tuan, Robert Sack, Joel Rogers, John Paul Jones III, David Delaney, Peter Jackson, Carol Jennings, Donna Baron, Steven Silvern, Drew Ross, Denis Cos- grove, and Mary Braun — thanks to all of them. Finally, many thanks to all at the University of Minnesota Press who made this a smooth and painless process, particularly Lisa Freeman, Janaki Bakhle, and copy editor Anne Running. vii This page intentionally left blank Parti The Terrain of Discussion: Definitions, Concepts, and Arguments
