Joseph Pulitzer had not originally intended to award a prize for poetry. An initiative by the Poetry Society of America provided the initial impetus to establish the prize, first awarded in 1922. The supplement volume chronicles the whole history of how the awards for this category developed, giving an account based mainly on confidential jury protocols from the Pulitzer Prizes office at New York's Columbia University. This volume completes the series "The Pulitzer Prize Archive".

The Pulitzer Prize Archive presents for the first time an extensive history of this award from its beginnings to the present. In the volumes of parts A to E the awarding of the prize in each category is documented, commented and arranged chronologically. The jury reports are printed completely in the supplements. The volumes of part F cover the history of the prize biographically and bibliographically. The supplement volumes of part G provide the background to the individual decisions.

Volume 20 of the series describes the development of the award for Biographies and Autobiographies from 1917 through 2006. In addition, the complete jury reports from this period are reprinted by facsimile. So it can be documented how the annual deliberations went until a winner was selected. Among the prize-winners were John F. Kennedy before his presidency, the diplomat George F. Kennan or the aviator Charles Lindbergh.

Moving Interfaces in Solids are typically phase boundaries and grain or subgrain boundaries. Continuum thermodynamics and continuum mechanics are applied to explain the motion process. Related numerical and experimental concepts are dealt with. Experts from material physics and mechanics bridge the gap between these fields. The reader is offered a common view of interface mtion in a unique representation. Examples are presented for various material systems.

Die schon seit einigen Jahren beobachtbare erfreuliche Tendenz, daB die Jahrestagungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft fOr Operations Research zunehmend von allen Interessentengruppen . der Unternehmensforschung innerhalb sowie auBerhalb der Gesellschaft als willkommenes Forum fOr einen breiten, dabei aber zugleich auch intensiven wissenschaftlichen Meinungs- und Erfahrungsaustausch genutzt werden, hat sich auf der 9. Jahrestagung, die vom 24. bis 26. September 1980 in den Raumen der Universitat Essen durchgefOhrt wurde, fortgesetzt und weiter verstarkt. Dies zeigt sich allein schon dadurch, daB auf dieser von Ober 400 Teilnehmern besuchten 9. Jahrestagung 135 Vortrage gehalten wurden. Hinzu kamen der Eroffnungs-und der Plenarvortrag, die Hohepunkte der Tagung darstellten und fOr die ein auf nationaler Ebene renommierter Praktiker sowie ein international angesehener Wissenschaftler des Opera- tions Research gewonnen werden konnten. Der hiermit vorgelegte Pro- ceedings-Band, der erstmals !1" Springer-Verlag erscheint, gibt einen Oberblick Ober das wissenschaftliche Programm dieser 9. Jahrestagung. Bei der Vielzahl der eingegangenen Vortragsanmeldungen konnte - wie auch schon in den beiden Jahren zuvor - durch die Einordnung der Beitrage in 26 Sektionen eine fruchtbare Fachdiskussion zwischen Vertre- tern der Hochschule und der Praxis auf den unterschiedlichen Teildiszipli- nen des Operations Research ermoglicht werden. Zugleich wurde damit auch den interessierten Zuhorern ein nach bewahrten Themengebieten strukturiertes reichhaltigesAuswahlangebot gemacht, das in dieserVielfalt gerne aufgenommen worden ist. Dabei lieBen sich gemaB der inhaltlichen Bezeichnung und vortragsmaBigen Gestaltung der Sektionen zwei durch- aus begrOBenswerte Entwicklungsrichtungen des Operations Research erkennen.

Pollinators play a vital role in ecosystem health and are essential to ensuring food security. With declines in both managed and wild pollinator populations in recent years, scientists and regulators have sought answers to this problem and have explored implementing steps to protect pollinator populations now and for the future. "Pesticide Risk Assessment for Pollinators" focuses on the role pesticides play in impacting bee populations and looks to develop a risk assessment process, along with the data to inform that process, to better assess the potential risks that can accompany the use of pesticide products.

"Pesticide Risk Assessment for Pollinators" opens with two chapters that provide a biological background of both "Apis" and non-"Apis" species of pollinators. Chapters then present an overview of the general regulatory risk assessment process and decision-making processes. The book then discusses the core elements of a risk assessment, including exposure estimation, laboratory testing, and field testing. The book concludes with chapters on statistical and modeling tools, and proposed additional research that may be useful in developing the ability to assess the impacts of pesticide use on pollinator populations.

Summarizing the current state of the science surrounding risk assessment for "Apis" and non-"Apis" species, "Pesticide Risk Assessment for Pollinators" is a timely work that will be of great use to the environmental science and agricultural research communities.Assesses pesticide risk to native and managed pollinatorsSummarizes the state of the science in toxicity testing and risk assessmentProvides valuable biological overviews of both "Apis" and non-"Apis" pollinatorsDevelops a plausible overall risk assessment framework for regulatory decision makingLooks towards a globally harmonized approach for pollinator toxicity and risk assessment

GIOTTO, das spektakularste Raumprojekt seit der Mondlandung und ein Glanzstuck der europaischen Raumforschung, wird von dem versierten Autor Nigel Calder spannend dargestellt.
GIOTTO hat sich bis auf 600 km dem Kometen Halley genahert, wurde dabei beschadigt, von der Erde aus repariert und hat danach noch den Kometen Grigg-Skjellerup besucht.
Das Buch fuhrt den Leser durch alle Fehlschlage und die glanzvollen Erfolge dieser internationalen Zusammenarbeit unter der Leitung der ESA.
Der Autor geht auch auf das ROSETTA-Projekt ein, das derzeit in Vorbereitung ist.
Der Ubersetzer hat in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Autor und den wissenschaftlichen Projektleitern bei der ESA den Text fur die deutsche Ausgabe aktualisiert und erganzt.
