The authors dedicate this book to their families, mentors, and colleagues who have so strongly affected their professional careers. Russ Knapp offers his dedication to his parents, who inspired and supported a strong interest in science at an early age; to his wife and best friend Toni, who for over 50 years encouraged and, even in many cases, tolerated his professional work; and to their children Michael and Gina, who have made his more important personal life such a joy. He also expresses his personal thanks to his deceased important friend, Mr. A. P. Callahan, who as a mentor and colleague had taught him so much about science and life. Ashutosh Dash gives his dedication to his wife Sarita and son Shaswat, who stood by him through thick and thin, lifted him up when he was low, pushed him forward at difficult times, and never complained at all when times were difficult. Through lonely and difficult times, they gave him strength and encouraged him. He also expresses his personal thanks to Dr. Russ Knapp for believing, encouraging, understanding, and tolerating through the whole process of completing this book.
