In 1991 the politicians of Northern Ireland sat down at the formal
negotiating table for the first time in seventeen years. This book
tells the fascinating story of the Initiative's three years of
painstaking political deals in an enlightening and entertaining
narrative, using the words of many of the participants. It shows
how the Initiative laid the necessary groundwork for the subsequent
Irish peace process and how its failures also illuminate current
events.
How can scholars develop better co-operation between competing
theoretical approaches to conflict management? This study analyses
real peacemaking strategies in Northern Ireland from 1969 to the
present, including case-studies of the Brooke Initiative political
talks and the Community Relations Council. In the light of this
wealth of practical evidence, the theoretical debate is re-examined
in order to develop a flexible and more inductive model of
complementarity which can enable the best elements of all
theoretical approaches to conflict management.
This is the first published study of the political negotiations in Ireland in 1992. Based on interviews with many of the participants and on unprecedented access to confidential talks documents, David Bloomfield examines the important events in this early but crucial stage of the Irish peace process, highlighting the significance of these early talks as a vital precursor to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.
Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on
the diagnosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few
general on cology textbooks are generally out of date. Single
papers in specialized jour nals are informative but seldom
comprehensive; these are more often pre liminary reports on a very
limited number of patients. Certain general jour nals frequently
publish good indepth reviews of cancer topics, and published
symposium lectures are often the best overviews available.
Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically,
and the reader can nev er be sure when a topic of special interest
will be covered. Cancer Treatment and Research is a series of
authoritative volumes which aim to meet this need. It is an attempt
to establish a critical mass of oncology literature covering
virtually all oncology topics, revised frequently to keep the
coverage up to date, easily available on a single library shelf or
by a single personal subscription. We have approached the problem
in the following fashion. First, by di viding the oncology
literature into specific subdivisions such as lung cancer,
genitourinary cancer, pediatric oncology, etc. Second, . by asking
eminent authorities in each of these areas to edit a volume on the
specific topic on an annual or biannual basis. Each topic and tumor
type is covered in a volume appearing frequently and predictably,
discussing current diagnosis, staging, markers, all forms of
treatment modalities, basic biology, and more."

Provides a grounding in investment mathematics and statistics,
together with discussion of advanced applications in the investment
area. It should be a useful source of reference for practitioners
within the securities and investment industry, and should also be
of value to students preparing for relevant professional or higher
education examinations.

Chromosome abnormalities of cancer cells have been recognized for a
long time, and have generally proven to be a highly specific marker
ofmalignancy. The contri- butions collected in this book, "Tumor
Aneuploidy", cover several major aspects of present knowledge
conceming the occurrence and clinical significance of chromo- some
abnormalities as delineated by karyotype analyses or measurements
of the cellular DNA content. Certain non-random clonal chromosome
losses, deletions and translocations ap- pear to represent primary
genetic lesions of malignancies and reflect their clonal origin.
Secondary intraneoplastic genetic evolution is suggested by major
clonal ab- normalities of chromosome number and cellular DNA
content. Both types of ge- netic changes have been reaching great
relevance in cancer medicine, today. Although the Philadelphia
chromosome was first discovered in chronic myelo- cytic leukemia
(CML), by Nowell and Hungerford in 1960, new banding techniques
developed in the 1970's were needed to identity this abnormality as
a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 (t(9; 22)). Soon
thereafter, further non-random translocations were detected and
attributed to special diseases like t(8; 21) and t(15; 17) to acute
myeloid leukemias (AML) and t(9; 22), t(4; 11), t(8; 14) to acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
