While there have been many recent books on the cell surface and a
few on the topic of cilia and flagella, this is the fIrst volume
that attempts to bring together the available informa- tion on
ciliary and flagellar membranes. This reflects a slow awakening by
cell biologists and other scientists to the signifIcance of ciliary
and flagellar surfaces. When Michael Sleigh edited an excellent
book entitled Cilia and Flagella in 1974, not one of the sixteen
chapters was devoted to ciliary or flagellar surfaces. When W. B.
Amos and J. G. Duckett edited the very fIne 25th Symposium of the
Society for Experimental Biology on Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Flagella in 1982, only two of the twenty chapters on eu- karyotic
cilia and flagella were devoted to ciliary and flagellar surfaces.
Only in 1989 has the timing become right to produce a volume
entirely devoted to the nonaxonemal struc- tures and functions of
eukaryotic cilia and flagella. The fIfteen chapters in this volume
cover a wide spectrum of organisms (from protozoa and algae to
birds and mammals) and an equally wide spectrum of topics (from
sexual interactions in the algae to the binding of pathogens in the
lung).
