I thank all the individuals and organizations with whom I’ve conversed and dialogued about design and sustainability over the last decade, as without them this book could not have emerged. In particular, I am very grateful to the designers and other professionals who generously gave permission to use images, illustrations and other materials, all of which help bring the topic of design activism to life. Thanks are also due to Guy Julier, Ann Thorpe, John Wood, Carolyn Strauss and my colleagues on the DEEDS project. Tamsine O’Riordan, formerly an editor at Earthscan, received my book concept with enthusiasm that was then supported by the sterling work of Hamish Ironside with Michael Fell and Claire Lamont. The Earthscan team co-designed the book cover and layouts with graphic designer Rob Watts (Rogue Four Design), to create an accessible work. I am grateful for the diligent proofreading by Christine James. I thank my wife, Dina, who encouraged and sustained me during the months required to bring this book to fruition.
