Acknowledgement 

My primary acknowledgement is to the students of the last class on Ecology and Culture I taught at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.  They brought passion, insight and sheer hard work to investigate the basic components of a new social and economic form for the 21st century: eco-community. They provided a fitting end to my university teaching career. I gratefully acknowledge their diligence:

Kayla Lewis, Chris Blomquist, Matt Muir, Ian Baldwin, Evan Bullen, Stella Georgilas, Greg Chin, John Pollard, Xena Bancroft, Jan-Michael Charles, Clement Ndegeya, Tilly Van Duyvendyk, Whitney Ellis, Angela Ashawasegai, Amanda Cameron, Nikolaus Sands, Rebecca Taft, Samuel Benoit, Erin Inhat and Sam Gunn. 

Joe Kennedy and Grandfather William Commanda added their expertise to this collection. 

Critical attention by Ed Simon and Marvin Schwartz greatly improved my Notes on the Five Great Elements.
