This timely volume brings together expert reviews of the recent
significant advances in our knowledge and understanding of the
organisation of the higher plant nucleus, and in particular in the
relationship between nuclear organisation and the regulation of
gene expression. Rapid progress has been made in a number of key
areas over the last five years, including description and
characterization of proteins of the nuclear envelope and nuclear
pore complex, novel insights into nucleoskeletal structures, as
well as developments related to chromatin organization, function
and gene expression. These advances open the way for new research
into areas such as stress tolerance, plant-pathogen interactions
and ultimately crop improvement and food security. Continued
research into plant nuclear structure, genome architecture and gene
regulation also enriches our understanding of the origin and
evolution of the nucleus and its envelope.

A new wave of scholarship inspired by the ways the writers and
musicians of the long nineteenth century themselves approached the
relationship between music and words. Words and Notes encourages a
new wave of scholarship inspired by the ways writers and musicians
of the long nineteenth century themselves approached the
relationship between music and words. Contributors to the volume
engage in two dialogues: with nineteenth-century conceptions of
word-music relations, and with each other. Criss-crossing
disciplinary boundaries, the authors of the book's eleven essays
address new questions relating to listening, imagining and
performing music, the act of critique, and music's links with
philosophy and aesthetics. The many points of intersection are
elucidated in an editorial introduction and via a reflective
afterword. Fiction and poetry, musicography, philosophy, music
theory, science and music analysis all feature, as do traditions
within English, French and German studies. Wide-ranging material
foregrounds musical memory, soundscape and evocation; performer
dilemmas over the words in Satie's piano music; the musicality of
fictional and non-fictional prose; text-setting and the rights of
poet vs. composer; the rich novelistic and critical testimony of
audience inattention at the opera;German philosophy's potential
contribution to musical listening; and Hoffmann's send-ups of the
serious music-lover. Throughout, music - its composition,
performance and consumption - emerges as a profoundly physical and
social force, even when it is presented as the opposite. PHYLLIS

This book presents original research into contemporary geographical
aspects of the study of crime. The contributors, drawn from
different disciplines within the social sciences and from various
countries, give a review of the subject which provides a valuable
insight into the geography of crime. Their approaches range from
the behavioural to the environmental, and the crimes dealt with
include violent crime and residential burglary. The book examines
data sources, discusses different crimes and ways of studying them
and considers the fear of crime. The criminal justice system in the
UK is examined in detail, including policy, the operations of
community and police committees and an account of the experience of
crime prevention policies in Britain and North America is also
given.
First published in 2002. Spiralling crime rates and continuing
public concern about police-community relations ensure that crime
and policing remain firmly on the social and political agenda. An
awareness of crime continues to affect the lives of ordinary people
and also to stimulate policy makers who recognise that crime rates
form one of the principles by which their effectiveness is judged.
Of the many agencies involved in the battle against crime, the
police in their various roles constitute the most obvious front
line. Drawing on case material from Britain, Europe, Canada and
America, Crime, Policing and Place examines the significance of
spatial patterns of crime and the processes which produce them. The
book analyses the implications of theoretical and methodological
innovation in the study of crime and policing, the processes which
underlie the uneven distribution and impact of crime and the
success of recent policies aimed at preventing crime and enhancing
police-community relations. Contributors are drawn from a variety
of academic disciplines, including criminology, geography and
social policy and also from the police and government agencies with
direct policy input.
This book explores how Theodore de Banville's remarkably coherent
body of verse theory and practice, shaped debates about poetic
value and how to identify it during a period of aesthetic
uncertainty caused by diverse social, economic, political and
artistic factors.
Attitudes to "nature" and the countryside are fickle. The
conservation movement has achieved limited success in 100 years of
campaigning, yet membership has never been greater. Can
conservationists now shake off their insular, disunited and
negative image and attain an influence which matches the size of
their movement? This volume charts the conservation movement from
its beginnings in Victorian coffee houses to its current societies
which boast memberships in the millions. A history of the British
movement, the oldest in the world, this text offers an insight into
the campaign for countryside access and protection - from battles
against pesticides, pollution, genetic engineering, farming and
forestry, to legislation for the protection of birds, fish stocks,
and freedom to walk the mountains.

This enthralling and provocative book provides a new grounding for the understanding of sexual rights. It argues that all varieties of sexuality under capitalism are materially constructed out of the complex interrelationship between the market and the state. The examples of different sexual rights and lack of rights that it examines include the experience of male homosexuals, bisexuals, transvestites, transsexualists and children. Meticulous, focused and challenging, it will be required reading for anyone interested in modern human sexualities. eBook available with sample pages: 0203412397

More than 40,000 species of mites have been described, and up to 1
million may exist on earth. These tiny arachnids play many
ecological roles including acting as vectors of disease, vital
players in soil formation, and important agents of biological
control. But despite the grand diversity of mites, even trained
biologists are often unaware of their significance. Mites: Ecology,
Evolution and Behaviour (2nd edition) aims to fill the gaps in our
understanding of these intriguing creatures. It surveys life
cycles, feeding behaviour, reproductive biology and
host-associations of mites without requiring prior knowledge of
their morphology or taxonomy. Topics covered include evolution of
mites and other arachnids, mites in soil and water, mites on plants
and animals, sperm transfer and reproduction, mites and human
disease, and mites as models for ecological and evolutionary
theories.

This was the third meeting in the series of special topical
conferences on Non-Metallic materials at low temperatures. The
first meeting was in Munich in 1978, the second in Geneva (1980)
and so Heidelberg 1984 seemed an obvious time to review some of the
hopes and objectives of the earlier meetings. It is also
appropriate to consider the changing needs of the cryogenic
community and how best the theory and practice of Non-metallic
materials can be applied to suit this dynamic young science. The
aims and objectives of the International Cryogenic Materials Board
in sponsoring this meeting remain the same. Namely, to provide a
forum where practicing Engineers can meet with materials suppliers
and researchers in an attempt to ensure that a real understanding
exists between the two sides of the Cryogenic Materials Community.
In this atmosphere, real problems can be addressed together with
full discussions of tried and tested practical solutions. It is in
this way that knowledge and confidence may grow hand in hand with
the logical growth of the industry.
