London Acknowledgments Editing a collection of divergent research which actively evaluates the emergence of, and apparent increasing use of, non-prescription and pre- scription drugs for use in changing appearance is not always an easy task. However, this challenge has been made all the more manageable thanks to the fl exibility, sensitivity, and collegiate spirit demonstrated by the contributors in this volume. Collectively, we would like to thank them for their contributions and we hope we have done them justice in con- veying their voices and their perspectives. While much of the material is published here for the fi rst time, Chap. 8 has previously appeared in the J ournal of Health Psychology (Hall et al. 2015). We are grateful to the editors and publishers for permission to reproduce this material here. We would also like to thank Dominic Walker at Palgrave Macmillan, who waited patiently for the manuscript and who saw it through to publication, and the anonymous reviewers for their feedback. Sarah would also like to thank Naheed Hanif and Dr. Hannah Fawcett for helpful comments on the Smoking and Appearance chapter, and friends and colleagues for consistent support. On a more personal note, Matthew would like to thank his co-editors for their unstinting help and v vi Acknowledgments support in putting this volume together; he considers them not only col- leagues but also friends. And fi nally, he would like to say thank you to his family who continually support and enrich his life in many ways.
