Acknowledgements acknowledged

Funny how the past comes flying in your face sometimes, leaving a smile.

As that sounds kind of abstract, let me explain. Just now as I went on Google Scholar to see if my first academic publication to a double-blind peer-reviewed international journal already came up (which, hurray, it did, see here), I stumbled upon my name in a few more unexpected places.

Namely, as acknowledgements for contributions made to two books published in 2007 and 2010. The latter, a volume on sociological theory, spoke of contributions by students in ways in which "they are often not aware of" (well, right he was). The former, a book on wages and currency from antiquity to the twentieth century, thanked me for editorial contributions (and, whilst at it, even took my name up in the index at the end of the book!). This reminded me of those friendly and interesting people at the University of Warwick and IISG in Amsterdam that I worked with between 2004 and 2008. And left a smile on my face.

Conclusion: Google yourself from time to time - you'll be surprised.
