This book became available as I was completing my doctoral dissertation. My research was focused on opiates and endogenous opioids and the laboratory was grappling with the role of these peptides in neurodevelopment. As the junior member of the laboratory at the time, I remember being amazed and relieved to read about other researchers, and how similar their experiences were to my own and to my laboratory. I have always admired the author’s work, and have held to his high standards of scholarship and integrity in both professional and scientific endeavors.
