Many people have contributed to the publication of this book: its protagonist,\u00a0Professor Waclaw Szybalski, who has amazed us with his splendid memory\u00a0and his concern for detail, both when describing people \u2014 members of his\u00a0family and his many friends and colleagues in science \u2014 as well as places\u00a0and events; Jaroslaw Abramow-Newerly and his wife Wanda, who conducted\u00a0and recorded many interviews with members of the Professor’s family and\u00a0his friends; and Irena Fr\u0105czek \u2014 the colleague and friend of Professor \u2014 who\u00a0supplemented the recollections recorded by the book’s author and supplied photographs and notes.<\/p>\n
The idea of the book, which dates from 2010, and the proposal that Jaroslaw\u00a0Abramow-Newerly write it, came from Dr. Jerzy Barankiewicz, founder and\u00a0president of the Polish Arts Salon in San Diego. The Professor Waclaw Szybalski\u00a0Foundation undertook to publish the book, which describes the full life and\u00a0enormous scientific achievements of one of the most outstanding Polish\u00a0scientists. Professor Szybalski left Poland in 1949, but as a Pole and a citizen\u00a0of Lwow he has always supported Polish science. For his services to science,\u00a0he has received honorary doctorates from five Polish higher-educational\u00a0institutions, and in 2011, the President of the Republic of Poland, Bronislaw\u00a0Komorowski, awarded him the Grand Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.<\/p>\n
