Our Commitment to Green Publishing
Chelsea Green sees publishing as a tool for cultural change and ecological
stewardship. We strive to align our book manufacturing practices with our editorial
mission and to reduce the impact of our business enterprise in the environment. We
print our books and catalogs on chlorine-free recycled paper, using vegetable-based
inks whenever possible. This book may cost slightly more because it was printed on
paper that contains recycled fiber, and we hope you’ll agree that it’s worth it.
The
Invisible Rainbow
was printed on paper supplied by Marquis that is made of
recycled materials and other controlled sources.

Author’s Note
FOR EASE OF READING I have kept the
endnotes to a minimum. However, all
sources referred to in the text can be found
in the bibliography at the back of the book,
together with other principal works I have
consulted. For the convenience of those
interested in particular subjects, the
literature in the bibliography is organized
by chapter, and within some chapters by
topic, instead of the usual single
alphabetical listing.
