Sumario:The Scottish Alliance of Geoscience, Environment and Society (SAGES) was launched in May 2007 and thrives to this day (). It is a major research partnership between ten institutions in Scotland squarely focused on the prime problem of our time, namely understanding how the natural world works and how it interacts with human society. The inspiration driving SAGES is that we can all contribute more if we collaborate. Paul Bishop was a staunch believer in collaboration and played a pivotal role in the building of SAGES. The early history of SAGES and Paul's contribution is little known and it seems fitting to address this in a special issue in his name.
