Preface to the Second Edition
A number of new experimental innovations have been added in over 50 new chapters. I thank each of the innovators for their contributions which are acknowledged in the text. I very much appreciated the graphical work of Dr. Ana Stevanovic who skillfully converted hand drawings to computer graphics. I also deeply appreciate the assistance of Dr. Zhen Zhang in assembling the new and former material to produce a well-organized second edition. And finally, I wish to thank Dr. Winfried Heichler and his son Jan Heichler for important high-resolution optical scanning of the first edition, allowing its fusion with new material in the second edition. I also thank the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia for financial support of the graphics effort. And finally, as in the first edition, I thank my loving and caring wife, Kerin Yates, for her continued support and constructive criticism of the new book. Virginia
