The main purpose of this book is to help readers enjoy and succeed in research. A whole range of individuals will benefit from the information and advice provided by the authors - from those who have never done any clinical research but would like to, those who have done some clinical research and would like to take it further, to those who see their future success primarily in terms of clinical research. It is hoped, at the very least, that readers will gain a greater understanding of those scientists and clinicians who are trying to push forward the frontiers of knowledge.
