The editors would like to thank all of the authors in this volume, who came through for us with exceptional work under the most challenging of circumstances. Several were caring for ailing family members in the midst of a pandemic, or were sick themselves during the writing process. Some had to assume unexpected clinical duties, many had to transform their academic teaching practice to virtual format, and others stepped in at very late stages to create new chapters when other authors had to withdraw. All of our authors’ level of professionalism was humbling and we are extraordinarily grateful to have the chance to work with these exceptional colleagues.
