Studies in Computational Linguistics presents authoritative texts
from an international team of leading computational linguists. The
books range from the senior undergraduate textbook to the research
level monograph and provide a showcase for a broad range of recent
developments in the field. The series should be interesting reading
for researchers and students alike involved at this interface of
linguistics and computing.
Recent developments in the field of cellular pathology and
molecular biology have had a major impact on our ability to
diagnose lymphoreticular disease and on our understanding of many
of the disease processes which contribute to lymphoreticular
pathology. Twenty years ago, the immunological analysis of lymphoid
proliferations was in its infancy. The techniques available, such
as sheep red blood cell rosetting and immune adherence to frozen
sections, now appear unbelievably crude when compared with our
ability to accurately phenotype lymphocytes in suspension, in
frozen section and, more recently, in formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded tissue biopsies. Four international work shops
have also standardized the nomenclature for the wide range of
lineage restricted and lineage-related monoclonal antibodies
available, and have provided a basis for the sophisticated
phenotypic analysis of lymphoid neoplasms in even the smallest
routine laboratories. Our concepts relating to the pathogenesis of
a number of human lymphomas have also changed substantially, and
this has been aided by the development of systems for the
classification of human lymphoma which are firmly based in our
knowledge of the differentiation and biological behaviour of normal
lymphoreticular cells. In this monograph, we present contributions
from many authors examining both leukaemia and lymphoma from an
immunological perspec tive. It is our hope that some of these
contributions will be of practical value in the laboratory
investigation and diagnosis of lymphoreticular disease. Other
contributions record our conceptual understanding of the
histogenesis and pathogenesis of human lymphoma."
Enter a world filled with mystery and suspense in DB Jones's
magical debut novel, Willow of Endless Waters, the Journey Begins.
Readers will instantly become enchanted with the vivid fantasy of a
young woman whose journey toward self-discovery leads her on a path
she never imagined. Willow is, by all appearances, an ordinary
young woman living an ordinary life. That is, until she begins to
hear a voice at night that lures her toward Endless Waters. As the
voice becomes stronger, Willow is continuously pulled closer to the
water's edge. She will often spend hours gazing at her reflection
and trying to grasp the meaning of the voice that relentlessly
urges her ever nearer to this special place. Convinced that this
brief appearance of a mysterious woman must surely be her
imagination, she leaves the shore of the Endless Waters and returns
home once more. But as she will soon learn, it was not her
imagination that conjured the woman under the water--it was Ellura,
the Spirit of the Sea. Unbeknownst to Willow, the appearance of
Ellura beneath the water signals the start of something
unimaginable and from that moment on, her life is changed forever.
Willow has glimpsed another world and ignited powers she never even
knew she had. Now free to travel between the two places, Willow
soon rises to meet the challenges as she attempts to decide to
which world she truly belongs. As her mysterious powers continue to
develop, she soon realizes that her choices will directly affect
both herself and the future of her entire race. Brimming with
suspense, magic, and adventure, Willow of Endless Waters, the
Journey Begins is a surreal journey to a world where anything is
possible.

Michael Rubbo's groundbreaking work has had a deep and enduring
impact on documentary filmmaking worldwide, though his name has
remained relatively unknown. In The Documentary Art of Michael
Rubbo, author D.B. Jones traces Rubbo's filmmaking from his days as
a film student at Stanford, through his twenty years at the
National Film Board of Canada, where Rubbo developed his distinct
documentary style. Jones then describes Rubbo's post-NFB venture
into feature film directing, followed by Rubbo's return to his
native Australia, first as an executive with the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation, and later as a director of feature-length
documentaries and maker of short, personal films for YouTube.
Exploring locales from Montreal to Vietnam, topics as diverse as
plastic surgery and French Marxism, and from interviewing Margaret
Atwood to documenting a failed attempt to interview Fidel Castro,
Rubbo's wide-ranging work establishes his innovative, personal,
lyric, and spontaneous documentary style. In The Documentary Art of
Michael Rubbo D.B. Jones reveals not only the depth of meaning in
Rubbo's films, but also the depth of their influence on filmmaking
itself.
