4 David S. Alberts, M.D. I would like to dedicate this book to my beautiful wife of 45 years, Heather, who has taught me to walk the talk of cancer prevention everyday of my life, and to my magnificent grandchildren, Sammy, Sophie, Sydney, Emma and Tate, who I am certain will carry the banner of health promotion through the century for a much healthier society. Lisa M. Hess, Ph.D. I would like to dedicate this book to my precious daughter, Rachael, who every moment teaches me the value of health and the beauty of life.
