A gap of 40 years separates the first identification of telomeres and the discovery of the telomerase. Our knowledge of the telomerase and how telomeres are maintained, however, has undergone exponential growth since then. The telomeres are coming into sharper focus as we look deeper and wider at how telomere maintenance is critically linked to cell growth, proliferation, aging, and diseases such as cancer. For example, in the majority of human cancers, normal telomere maintenance is often bypassed. And in many human cell types, telomere erosion is thought to limit the proliferative capacity of transformed cells. This book has come at an exciting time when the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was just awarded to Drs. Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider, and Jack W. Szostak for their pioneer work on telomeres and telomerase.

My heart sank when I was approached by Dr Hastings and by Professor Briggs (Senior Editor of Materials Science and Technology and Series Editor of Polymer Science and Technology Series at Chapman & Hall, respectively) to edit a book with the provisional title Handbook of PolypropyIene. My reluctance was due to the fact that my former book 111 along with that of Moore [21, issued in the meantime, seemed to cover the information demand on polypropylene and related systems. Encouraged, however, by some colleagues (the new generation of scientists and engineers needs a good reference book with easy information retrieval, and the development with metallocene catalysts deserves a new update!), I started on this venture.

This book would not have been written were it not for the everlasting patience of my dear wife Ramona, who tolerated my long-lasting mental absence when working behind the microscope or the connected computer and for tirelessly assisting me with data compilation. Our son Andre also took part in the data gathering, for which I am quite thankful. Many polished sections had not been looked after for decades and D. Lange (FU Berlin) provided much needed help in upgrading severely oxidised samples.

To place this book's emphasis appropriately on sound clinical reasoning within the framework of manual therapy, it is necessary to appreciate the evolution of mcll1ual therapy as a discipline in its own right. From tentative beginnings. it has advanced significantly since the 196()s. Initially it focussed on skill acquisition and the careful but prescriptive application or passive movement techniques to vertebral and peripheral joints. The earliest courses in manual therapy concentrated on joint structure, biomechanics, pathology. diagnosis and physical treatment in a mechanistic way. seeking simple cause and effect relationships between a patient's symptoms and signs and their physical treatment protocols.
