Acknowledgments

First, we would like to collectively thank those who agreed to examine earlier drafts of the book—anatomists, educators, and student members of the editorial review board from around the world. Your input was invaluable. We'd also like to thank Richard Tibbitts and Paul Richardson for their skill in turning our visual ideas into a reality that is not only a foundation for the acquisition of anatomical knowledge, but also is beautiful. Thanks must also go to Madelene Hyde, Bill Schmitt, Rebecca Gruliow, John Casey, and all the team at Elsevier for guiding us through the preparation of this book. We'd also like to thank Professor Richard A. Buckingham of the Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine, University of Illinois for the provision ofFig. 8.114B. Finally, because we worked separately, distanced by, in some cases, thousands of miles, there are various people who gave local support, whom we would like to make mention of individually. We've gratefully listed them here: Dr. Leonard Epp, Dr. Carl Morgan, Dr. Robert Shellhamer, and Dr. Robert Cardell who profoundly influenced my career as a scientist and an educator.

Richard L. Drake

Dr. Sydney Friedman, Dr. Elio Raviola, and Dr. Charles Slonecker, for their inspiration and support and for instilling in me a passion for the discipline of Anatomy. Dr. Murray Morrison, Dr. Joanne Matsubara, Dr. Brian Westerberg, Laura Hall, and Jing Cui, for contributing images for the chapter on the head and neck. Dr. Bruce Crawford and Logan Lee, for help with images for the surface anatomy of the upper limb. Professor Elizabeth Akesson and Dr. Donna Ford, for their enthusiastic support and valuable critiques. Dr. Sam Wiseman, for contributing surgical and other images in the abdomen and head and neck chapters.

A. Wayne Vogl

Dr. Sahar Nasseri (senior specialist registrar) for help with the images and text and adding critical analysis on modern imaging. Drs. J. Healy, J. Lee, G. Rajeswarren, R. Pearce and B. Roberton for their support

and constructive criticism. The radiology staff at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and The Fortius Clinic. In particular, Mr. Andrew Williams, FRCS, whose relentless and unflagging support has been invaluable (and he mended my leg!).
