Reading, Mike

As you will see in reading Mike s and Emily s accounts to follow, questions about authenticity of self do not dominate drug narratives when the medications fail altogether or succeed completely. In cases like Rachel s—... 

Thanks are due to Luis Blancafoit, Mike Beaipark, Ireoe Burghardt, and Adelaida Sanchez-Galvez for reading the manuscript, and for helpful hints in the presentation of this material. 

I thank Monica Grady, Chris Tout and Max Pettini for critically reading through the revised Chapters 3, 5 and 12 respectively, and Mike Edmunds for continued cooperation and enlightening discussions. I owe particular thanks to my wife Annabel Tuby Pagel for her loving care during difficult times.

Acknowledgments. We would like to thank Rose Lopez, Ralph Yuhase, and Todd Janes for their help in preparing the many samples of ImuVert needed for these studies and Drs. Fr Pearson, Mike Hindahl, Greg Hirschfield, Mr. Dave Smiley and Ms. Connie Phillips for critically reading the manuscript... 

The author would like to acknowledge Peter Colman, my collaborator in neuraminidase crystallography, Mike Lawrence for the GRID maps shown here and reading this manuscript, Brian Smith for discussions on enzyme mechanisms, Jenny McKimm-Breschkin for discussions on drug resistance, Bert van Donkelaar for technical support, and Paul Davis for computing support. 

Acknowledgments The author thanks his colleagues Drs. Mike Calter and Paul Deck for reading and commenting on the manuscript, and Ms. Angie Miller and Ms. April Miller for preparing the camera-ready copy. 

During the compilation of this book, an important member and friend of the catalysis and surface science community, J. Mike White (University of Texas, Austin and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) suddenly passed away. Mike was to author two chapters in this book, Photocatalysis at Adsorbate-Single Crystal Metal and Metal Oxide Interfaces and Supported Early Transition Metal Oxide Clusters Structural and Catalytic Properties. It is truly unfortunate that we will not be able to read his chapters they would have been first rate. I thank Professor Hicham Idriss for including a section on photocatalysis on TiO single crystals in Chap. 7 and Professors Gunther Rupprechter and Simon Penner for then-chapter on metal oxide cluster catalysis (Chap. 17). 

The author would like to express gratitude to Professor Mike Reading for his helpful comments and corrections to the chapter. 

I am very grateful to Peter Smith (UCL) and Fred Armitage (KCL) who read all of the text, and to Mike Lappert, David Cardin, and Gerry Lawless (University of Sussex), Dainis Daktemieks, Andrew Duthie, and Jens Beckmann (Deakin University), and Sarah Wilsey (ICL) who read selected chapters. Peter Smith, Fred Armitage, and Sarah Wilsey also helped to check the proofs. They did much to reduce the numbers of errors and omissions, and to improve the text, but I would appreciate any comments from readers on the book or on the database. My thanks are also due to Gudrun Walter (Wiley-VCH) who saw the book through to publication, and to my wife for all help non-chemical. 

Mike Reading, Ph.D., is internationally recognized for his work on the development of novel thermoanalytical techniques. After receiving a B.Sc. and Ph.D. at Salford University and doing postdoctoral work in France (the CNRS center for calorimetry and thermodynamics, Marseilles), he worked with ICI until 1997. He left to join the IPTME at Loughborough University where he was director of the Advanced Thermal Methods Group. In 2004 he moved to the University of East Anglia to take up a chair in pharmaceutical characterization science.

Part of one chapter was written while I was a Visiting Professor at the University of Miami, and I am grateful to Professor Bob Gawley for hosting my visit. My thanks extend to various people who have proof-read parts of the text, including Chris Moody, Mike Shipman, Mark Wood, Alison Franklin, Joe Harrity, Steve Pih and Ben Dobson. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their patience during the writing of this book.
