Abstract
When an event was organized for me on 10 July 2014 to mark my retirement from academic life, not just from Sheffield University from where I had retired some years earlier, I was overwhelmed to be presented with a bound copy of drafts of all the chapters, except mine, which now make up this book. My insistence that I was retiring completely from academic life to take up a new life of engagement with the transition politics of my adopted town of Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire in the UK was therefore put to the test. The book, I was told, needed a final chapter!
