The École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), to which I belong, is a multi-disciplinary institution, providing a stimulating and wide-ranging research environment. My colleagues, notably Nicolas Verdier and Marie-Vic Ozouf-Marignier, provided constant encouragement and support over the course of this project and for that I am truly thankful.

I would also like to thank Sébastien Le Pipec for his help with my translations, and to Marta Berbès-Blàzquez, William Found, Lance Gunderson, Marten Scheffer and Brian Walker who allowed me to translate and make use of their illustrations, in some cases with my own additions; François Durand-Dastès, who kindly provided me with an updated version of his systemogenesis diagram; and Laurent Costa, who was able to transform my somewhat abstract ideas into helpful diagrams, leading to the illustrations to be found in this book.

Finally, heartfelt thanks to Laurent, Hadrien and Jean-Baptiste, my support team throughout the whole process. To them I dedicate this book.
