Acknowledgments

I am particularly indebted to the scientists around the world whose dedication, insights, and acumen produced the important medicines discussed in this book. Many lives have been saved and extended by their efforts. They all deserve our respect and admiration.

I would like to thank a few people for their advice and encouragement during the preparation of this book: David LaMattina and Mary LaMattina for their guidance on key issues; Stephen Lederer and Justin McCarthy for their insightful editorial comments; and Donna Green, who pulled it all together.
