previously, the book is founded on our collective clinical and research experience and has been a truly collaborative venture. The book is designed to read as a whole, however, inevitably one of us has taken a lead with each chapter according to our own particular expertise. When we wrote the 5th edition, NAH took the responsibility for Part 1 and Part 2, while RIGH was responsible for Part 3. Now on our third edition, we have each taken the opportunity to bring our experience to each of the chapters. Finally, we must thank a number of people. We are grateful for the skilled help of the team at Wiley. It is still important to recognise the excellent contribution of Charles Brook and Nicholas Marshall who authored the book up to and including the 4th edition. We are also very grateful to our scientific and clinical colleagues who have been the recipients of frequent questions and from whom we have sought valued opinions. The final thank you is to our families whose support and tolerance made this book possible. Particular thanks go to Tristan Holt, now a medical student, for his helpful comments in making the book as relevant as possible for our target audience.
