The completion of this volume would not have been possible without
the generous and dedicated help of numerous people. The book had
its genesis in a conference held at Cornell University in the fall
of 1990 that was organized by Dudley Poston, Paul Eberts, and
Michael Hannan, all professors at the time at Cornell. With the
very generous financial assistance of David Call, then the dean of
Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Poston, Eberts,
and Hannan put together a two-day conference oflectures and papers
by human ecologists from Cornell University and elsewhere. The
conference focused on sociological human ecology and celebrated the
fortieth anniversary of the publication of Amos Hawley's Human
Ecology (Ronald Press 1950). Professor Hawley was the keynote
speaker at the conference. Many of the authors of the chapters in
this volume presented earlier versions at the Cornell conference in
1990. Cornell's Departments of Rural Sociology and Sociology also
contrib uted financial assistance; however, without Dean Call's
very generous support, the conference would not have been possible.
A few months after the conference, Poston and Michael Micklin
discussed the possibility of asking the various authors of the
Cornell conference papers to revise them for publication in a
volume on sociological human ecology. Many opted to do so, but
others did not because of time and other kinds of commitments and
constraints."
