Acknowledgements:
I would like to express my gratitude to my long-time
collaborator, Dr. Eve de Lamirande, for the numerous hours she spent
correcting and editing the many chapters of this book. I want to
thank the Organizing Committee of the 8th International Symposium
of Spermatology, especially Dr. Robert Sullivan, for their effort
and time to select the best speakers for the symposium and the contributors
of this book, I cannot end these acknowledgements without mentioning
the support I received from Lina Ordonselli, both in the organization
of the symposium and the assembly of chapters for this book. Finally,
I want to thank Dr. Lonnie Russell for providing this opportunity
to publish this high quality book at Cache River Press; it is a
pleasure to deal with a publisher who is also an excellent reproductive
biologist. Claude Gagnon
