Johannes Luetz wishes to thank Wendy for her selfless support of this book project.
Having lived in countries around the world, she exemplifies and embodies the truism
by William Langewiesche, “So much of who we are is where we have been”. Her
ceaseless reminding to view the world and people through the lens of their sociohistorical context continues to be a source of ongoing encouragement to him.
Patrick Nunn wishes to thank all the Pacific Islanders whom over the course
of some thirty years have educated him about the way they understand the world
and especially Rosie and Petra, the two Pacific Islanders closest to him, who have
selflessly supported him to work on this book.
