I am very much indebted to the Master Consultants and to all Guest Experts who are listed in this section. They are all highly recognized, prestigious authorities in their fields and provided me with most valuable information, perspectives and insights. The production of this Atlas is a major enterprise. In addition to our dedicated staff of HIGHLIGHTS, three of my most valuable collaborators have been vital to its success: Robert C. Drews, M.D. as Co-Editor of the English Edition; Stephen Gordon, B.A., for his always unique medical illustrations and Samuel Boyd, M.D., for his strong support, valuable advice in the creation of this CD-ROM and of some very complex illustrations derived from his expertise in refractive surgery. Among my closest collaborators in HIGHLIGHTS, Andres Caballero, Ph.D., the project director and Kayra Mejia, my editorial right hand production-editor of many years have gone the extra mile to accomplish a very difficult task in production of this work. Professor Juan Murube, M.D.,Cristela F. de Aleman, M.D., and Cecilia Contreras, M.D., have been responsible for the simultaneous spanish translation. This CD-Book has been produced for the benefit of humanity. To accom- plish this task has required a significant amount of personal sacrifice, intense concentration, isolation from family and friends and the loyal support and stimulus of one special woman, my dear wife Wylma Cordovez de Boyd. This is being written, on my birthday, October 1, 1999. Benjamin F.
