Acknowledgements

This book would not have been needed if COVID-19 had not become a pandemic. We record here our sorrow and condolences to all those people in the world who have been touched by the pandemic and who have lost their lives.

This book could not exist without our authors who have so willingly contributed their knowledge. Without exception, they have responded quickly to all our editorial demands which have made our lives, as editors, as easy as they could be. Our authors come from all parts of the globe and we have enjoyed working with them, facilitated by the technology that we now all take for granted.

Apart from the authors, there are many individuals who have contributed behind the scenes – too many to list here but we hope they know that we know who they are. Special thanks must go to Steve Ison who encouraged us to start this journey.

And whilst it is not so usual to acknowledge the support of our families, we feel we must do so here as undertaking this enterprise, where time has been of the essence, has meant that homelife has had to be very patient – especially our dogs who do not understand why their needs are sometimes a second place to work needs.
