It is not an easy task to start typing a preface for this collection of articles to honor Prof. Julio C. Trebolle Barrera. It is no light enterprise to render in a handful of pages the impact he has had in our lives as teacher, mentor, and friend throughout the years. Knowing of that hardship, we have actually asked one of Julio’s long-time colleagues and friends, Prof. Florentino García Martínez, to write some lines further ahead in this volume to offer a more complete, time-spanning, and rounded-up vision of Julio the scholar, but also of Julio the friend and Julio the intellectual. That last word should be underscored, as it is perhaps the most accurate term to define him without having to produce a long-winded narrative. Being an intellectual in this world of ours transcends the mere trade of the academic, understood as the specialization of excellence in a single field or discipline, which runs parallel with our contemporary models of scientific production: a society of scholars who exhibit mastership in their respective areas, which grow narrower and narrower as the accumulated bulk of human knowledge accumulates exponentially.
