Acknowledgements
First off, I have to acknowledge the support of my single biggest supporter, from birth and before, my mother, Prity Sinha. As soon as I could hold a spoon she put a pencil in my hand and taught me the three Rs. She was, and continues to be, my biggest supporter, especially when I was a young sapling and needed a support for my growthshe was there every time. Next of course is dad, my hero. I guess I always wanted to be him; for smarts, wit, one-line zingers, dint of purpose, and inability to accept the first, second, or even the third time when told, No, it cannot be done. Many of his one-liners like If its worth doing, its worth doing right!, Many can buy an elephant; not all of those can feed an elephant still pepper my lexicon. And for the lesson that 3 No Trump is a closing bid! After attending a lecture that I was delivering, and me having acknowledged him from the lectern, he commented afterwards that in the audience he was thrilled by the role reversalto be identified as my father; in most past settings I was recognized as his son. Dad and mom inspired me and had unwavering confidence in yours truly; who looked at me and saw something bigger, way bigger, than I could ever see in me.
Next is my brother, for his strength of character and focus on the right thing to do. Many hot summer days playing cricket (broken bulbs and windows!) and many warm evenings spent during summer vacations staring at chess boards. My friend and confidante, sometimes disapproving of my escapades but always supportive. In medical school, when I needed, nay wanted, to have a motorcycle and our father had said a firm No, he bought it for me and said dad shouldnt find out! Well, sorry brother, he just did!
My next acknowledgement is for my children, Kavita, Ishan, and Anamika. I hope I make you proud and that you, in turn, exceed my accomplishments, and whatever they may be, in every way. That is the, sometimes silent, prayer of every parent.
Then I wish to acknowledge people who were in my life in certain roles and have moved on: friends, partners, and family. I thank you for your support at those times when you were with me and I was engrossed in this project, and I wish you well in the future because our past had some amazing times!
To my favourite cousin Sharad and his best friend ABS, who have guided and supported this wayward cousin of theirs!
In academic medicine one has to have focus and I have to thank my mentor, Lee A. Fleisher, who convinced me to focus a majority of my academic effort on obesity. This is what has ultimately culminated in this book!
A few years ago, when I had my first interaction with Oxford University Press and was invited to edit a textbook on this subject, I had possibility underestimated the time and effort that would be expended in this endeavour, but I am thrilled to be at this point in the project. The people who I have to singularly recognize from Oxford University Press are Geraldine Jeffers, Rachel Goldsworthy, Fiona Sutherland, Helen Cook, Karen Moore, and Sean McLeod.
Last, and most importantly, I wish to thank all my contributors; you are what made this book possible! I apologize for harassing you for drafts and edits. You own the glory of this book and I will take credit for anything less than perfect.
