Acknowledgements
Firstly, I would like to thank all the authors who worked with me on this book;
without their efforts this project would never have come to fruition. Secondly, I
would like to thank the team at the publishers, Taylor & Francis; without the initial
friendly and encouraging contact from Francesca McGowan the project would never
have been started, and without the continued chivvying along and moral support
from Kirsten Barr and Rebecca Davies the project would never have been fnished.
Finally, I would like to thank my husband, my children and the members of my lab
for their patience, especially in the fnal few weeks, when I was not as available as I
should have been.
In a work of this type there is never enough space for every piece of informa-
tion that could be included or for every piece of work that could be referenced.
Therefore, I and my fellow authors would like to apologise to all the scientists who
have increased our knowledge of the kinesin superfamily but whose work could not
be included in this book.
