We are proud to present the 11th edition of the Textbook of Rheumatology. As with previous editions, we aim to provide a solid basic science framework, detailed pharmacology discussions of old and new anti-rheumatic agents, and an integrated approach to disease pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatments. Before we begin each edition, the editors do some reality testing and examine the role of textbooks in an era of instant communication and easily accessible “quickie” medical review platforms that are sometimes part of electronic health record systems. We continue to believe that carefully moderated, integrated content like the Textbook remains a cornerstone of learning in medicine. This impression is supported by expanding Textbook access via the internet for institutions and individual learners. People speak with their “clicks,” and it is clear that tomes like the Textbook continue to fill an important gap in education and training. The theme of TOR11 is exemplified by our cover art, namely past, present, and future. The past is represented by a classic image of uric acid crystals in the ancient disease of gout. A photograph of a patient with active synovitis, still a common occurrence in our clinics, depicts the present. Finally, the future of rheumatology and actually science in general is exemplified by a hierarchical clustering of genomic data, which illustrates the power and importance of computational biology. We can expect new omics technologies and informatics to change the face of medicine and ultimately lead to an updated disease taxonomy that focuses less on phenotype and more on underlying mechanisms. Our 11th edition also includes a new editor, Dr. Gary Koretzky, who brings a deep understanding of immunology in recognition that rheumatology is the exemplar of immunologic disease. Thus, the editors represent a broad swath of our specialty, from basic science to translational medicine to clinical care to population medicine. Of course, the true value of the book is derived from the effort and expertise of the many authors who spend countless hours writing and editing their sections. We are indebted to them and are confident that our readers will benefit greatly from their expertise.
