AB We  were  most  fortunate  to  have  had  the  creative  editorial  assistance  of  Howard  P.  Beckman,  who  passed  away  earlier  this  year  after  having  finished  his  work  on  this  edition.  Following  graduation  from  San  Francisco  State  University  with  a  BA  in  1968,  Howard  began  his  distinguished  career  as  a  scientific  editor.  In  1997,  he  received  a  law  degree  from  John  F.  Kennedy  University  and  began  a  parallel  career  in  environmental  law.  Howard  has  been  an  integral  part  of  Principles  of  Neural  Science  since  the  third  edition.  Although  he  was  not  trained  as  a  scientist,  his  logical  thinking  and  rigorous  intellect  helped  ensure  that  the  book  had  a  unified  style  of  exposition.  Howard’s  demand  for  clarity  of  writing  has  had  an  immeasurable  impact  on  each  edition  of  this  book,  and  he  will  be  greatly  missed  by  all  who  worked  with  him  over  the  years.
