Angela, Michelle and Beth dedicate this volume to the regions that nurture
us, support us and continue to enrich our lives and the lives, both human
and non-human, around us. We hope that this investigation into what is
particular, and at times peculiar about regions, inspires further located
research into place and change, transition and resilience, and our shared
challenges for the future.
