I little thought, when writing along with my colleagues the preface to the first edition of this textbook, that 33 years later I would be invited to provide the foreword to the fourth edition. Much has changed over that period, not least the tragically early loss of Fergus Macartney, one of the original editors. I am pleased to report that Elliot Shinebourne and Mike Tynan, our other original conspirators, continue to enjoy their retirement. For myself, it has been a pleasure to update the anatomical content of this latest version of the book. This would not have been possible without the efforts of Diane Spicer. Her photographs of the congenitally malformed heart that grace this fourth edition show the anatomic features with ever increasing accuracy and beauty. The major change in this fourth edition has been the remarkable shift in the geographical representation of the editorial team. Our first edition was an intentionally anglocentric affair. It is of minor historical interest that, when discussing the potential publication of the textbook with Andrew Stephenson, the publishing director of Churchill Livingstone at the time, we dined at their London offices. The upstairs storey of their premises, in Bentinck Street, had been the apartment, during the Second World War, of Guy Burgess, one of the notorious members of the ring of spies that chose to share our national secrets with the old Soviet Union. When preparing the content of our first edition, we took care to include European and transatlantic contributions. This proved possible through our collaborations with close friends and colleagues, particularly those working in Amsterdam and Pittsburgh. In our second edition, we were joined by two of our own fellows, Ted Baker and Mike Rigby, who had risen to their own prominence. The editorial team, nonetheless, remained firmly embedded in London. This then changed with the third edition. By this time, Elliot and Mike had chosen to hand on their editorial batons to Dan Penny and Andrew Redington. Trained by Elliot and Mike at the Brompton Hospital, they had, by then, achieved their own international recognition, being appointed to major positions in Melbourne and Toronto. This diaspora in itself was sufficient to bring a more international flavor to the team. The other major change in the third edition, however, was the addition of Gil Wernovsky, recognizing that the United States remained the epicenter of advances in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital cardiac disease. The book itself was significantly improved by the ability of our publisher to condense the editorial material into a single volume. The single volume, furthermore, was supported by electronic material and was in full color, with uniformly superb illustrations provided by Gemma Price.

Now, in this fourth edition, the textbook can truly claim to have achieved global prominence. This is true not only in terms of geography, but also the disciplines for which it aims to cater. Thus, Jim Tweddell joins the team as the first surgical editor, while Kathy Mussatto brings much-needed nursing excellence. Gil Wernovsky has now taken over the role of editorial director. The overall team is now based firmly in the United States. Another significant addition, nonetheless, is that the team is joined by Krishna Kumar. KK brings to the table the amazing advances being made in the Indian subcontinent. The written and illustrative components of the book, furthermore, are now supported by video material, collated and organized by Justin Tretter, with whom I have been particularly pleased to collaborate extensively over the last few years. We have been sorry to lose Dan Penny from our editorial team but pleased that he was still able to contribute in updating the chapters he produced and edited for the third edition.
