Читать книгу Health Psychology - Michael Murray - Страница 13

DFM: Over 20 years, many talented people have created this textbook and I wish to acknowledge their contributions. To Michael and Emee, my co-authors, for friendship and collaboration; specifically, to MM for his unstinting support and lively humour; to EVE for cake, songs and smiles. To Brian Evans, co-author of four previous editions, for walks and talks over heath and by river. To Ziyad Marar for his enthusiastic skills of persuasion that drew me into the SAGE fold more than two decades ago. To colleagues at SAGE: Michael Carmichael, the original commissioning editor, Luke Block, Amy Jarrold, Donna Goddard and Katie Rabot and the complete editorial team for editing this sixth edition. To Alice Vallat, for a happy home in Arles, Provence. Thank you all warmly – this book couldn’t and wouldn’t have happened without you.

MM: Thanks to David for initiating and sustaining this project over the years and to the various other co-authors (Brian, Carla, Catherine, Cailine and Emée) who have added so much to it. Thanks, as well, to my wonderful and loving wife (Anne) and sons (Matthew and Daniel) for their continuing support, kindness and inspiration.

EVE: To my parents for life, to my Andy for love, to my mentor, DFM, for guidance, and to my son, Vas, for purpose – thanks!
