Table of Contents

The authors would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the individuals who made this book possible. Many thanks to our agent, Judith Riven, who first saw the promise of this project and steered us through it. We are also deeply indebted to our editor at Holt, Deb Brody, whose invaluable expertise, vision, and advice helped shape this work into the final version you see before you today.

On a personal note, Shelagh would like to thank her daughter, Caitlin, both for her patience while her mother toiled for countless hours at the computer and for acting as an inadvertent inspiration for this book. Several years ago while visiting a new pediatrician, Shelagh was informed that Caitlin could not possibly have sinusitisbecause sinusitis didnt exist! This provided an early insight into the many frustrating obstacles faced by sinusitis sufferers on a regular basis.
