"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort"(Franklin D. Roosevelt)FOREWORD(Gyula J. Papp and András Varró)This volume is a tribute to Professor László Szekeres, the founder of the internationally recognized "Szeged School of Cardiovascular Pharmacology", on the occasion of the celebration of his 90th birthday. The major contributor to this book, of course, is Professor Szekeres himself, who has put at the editors' disposal his eventful, but consice biography, a brief description of his most ample and wide-ranging scientific achievements, an impressive series of photographs of his harmonious family and successful scientific life, and - what a surprise! - reproductions of his fine paintings.Professor Szekeres is a unique person in a number of ways. He has always had the ability to forge together a highly competent and enthusiastic cardiovascular research team. He has been blessed with the gift of stimulating scientists from widely differing disciplines and backgrounds to work together effectively. He has constantly provided inspiration, encouragement, friendly advice and efficient support in many respects, not only to his collaborators, but also to colleagues continuing their research activities in other departments and laboratories inside or outside his home country.He is a man of wide intellectual horizons, in whom the best European qualities in culture and manners are amalgamated with genuine endeavours to establish close links with scientists from all over the world, in295
