The contents of this book reflect the contributions of many individuals. Mike Church helped to explain the evolution of thinking about bedload transport. Bill Dietrich identified pioneering discussions of bedload dynamics in G.K. Gilbert's flume experiments. Angela Gurnell helped me to more fully integrate plants into my thinking about river process and form. Theodore Endreny and Grant Meyer helped me to identify and correct errors in the first edition of the book. Natalie Kramer, Katherine Lininger, Lina Polvi, and Dan Scott provided stimulating discussions about various aspects of river science. I thank each of them and many other colleagues who have made the study of rivers such an enjoyable challenge.
