AB There  are  very  peculiar  ways  in  which  one  can  mark  time.  We  often  do  so  by  observing  the  rate  at  which  our  siblings,  children,  or  grandchildren  grow,  especially  when  we  are  not  in  daily  contact,  or  by  how  we  inevitably  underestimate  the  length  of  time  transpired  since  we  last  encountered  an  old  friend.  In  this  context,  it  seems  remarkable  that  over  13  years  have  transpired  since  I  first  discussed  with  Chuck  Ciccone  the  prospects  for  a  text  on  pharmacology  for  our  Contemporary  Perspectives  in  Rehabilitation.  The  realization  that  the  first  edition  of  Pharmacology  in  Rehabilitation  appeared  more  than  a  decade  ago  is  even  more  astounding.  The  basis  for  the  genesis  of  such  a  book  was  founded  on  the  belief  that  rehabilitation  specialists  received  little  formal  training  about  drug  interactions  and  how  any  single  pharmacological  agent  could  impact  either  treatment  plans  or  outcomes.  Chuck  took  it  upon  himself  to  generate  a  text  that  would  address  this  educational  and  clinical  shortcoming.  The  result  is  very  clear.  Pharmacology  in  Rehabilitation  is  the  “gold  standard”  among  all  texts  addressing  this  content  for  nonphysician  rehabilitation  specialists.
