West and Terry G. Jordan, two great geographers, and to all the wonderful Hondurans from whom I learned. Acknowledgements I have shared several bottles of Flor de Caña with a small group of geographers who have all played a role in my academic development. The group – Scott Brady, Craig Revels, Taylor Mack, Ricky Samson, and Bill Davidson – shares a love for Honduras, fieldwork, and interesting geography, discussions of which helped in the development of this study. I look forward to a career of collaboration and to more fun and interesting conversations and trips with these people. Bill Davidson introduced me to geography. He and his wife, Sharon, have been good friends to me since. I am ever grateful. Here at UT, many have helped me as I stepped through the Ph.D.
