Volume 5 is dedicated to:
Ron Perkins,
for his educational innovations in and out of the high school classroom—a teacher for us all,
and to
Oliver Sacks,
a chemist at heart,
for making me aware
of the complexity of memory, emotions,
and the brain, and helping me to
understand myself and to explain
our beautiful chemical world.
Bassam Z. Shakhashiri
