Much like the head coach on any sports team, a contributing editor gets more credit than they deserve when the work turns out well and more blame than they deserve when it does not. In this case, enjoy the accolades with your team. Dennis Wendy,
Thanks for the comment and correction. Much like the head coach on any sports team, a contributing editor gets more credit than they deserve when the work turns out well and more blame than they deserve when it does not.

In this case, enjoy the accolades with your team.

One thing I super want to underscore though is the fact that this is not "my" book, but our book. There are 25 content and creative contributors that have made the book possible. It's a function of our Google-istic society that our publisher prefers to have -- a -- name be connected to an effort, to make it easier to search and find. While it was true I was asked to write the book as "the" author, I felt if I was going to take-on that big of a task, the time was past for the cult-of-personality-green, and time to show the efforts being made by a wide range of eco-professionals -- all moving toward a common goal. One person -- can -- make a difference, but it takes all of us embracing that notion to make serious change happen. One of the core concepts in the book is to show how a variety of people each serving the same industry from different disciplines can have a part in real and positive change. So one small correction: while it is true I wrote several chapters, plus did the detail wrangling to knit sections together, I'm really the contributing editor, not "the" author. Without the contributions of all of the contributors this book would never have happened. Thanks for the great review Dennis.
