This seventh symposium in the series of biennial Gothenburg Symposia, taking place in Edingburgh 1996 continues to bring together research scientists, designing and operating engineers and funding and supervising administrators. It also has enlarged the scope of its platform by bringing together concerned specialists from Western countries and Central and Eastern Europe and furthermore attempts to bridge the gap between developing and industrialized countries. The traditionally presented topics, such as treatment of potable water and wastwater predominantly by chemical means are of utmost importance for those that need immediate action at reasonable costs. It is particularly noteworthy that an increasing number of contributions address these problems of the emerging need for environmental protection. And more and more presentations are delivered by experts from Central and Eastern Europe and from developing countries. Again the proceedings of this seventh symposium indicate and demonstrate new developments that advance the field of water and wastewater treatment. Be sides the ever present topics there is now a whole section on automation and control, a highly significant topic for water technology that so far has not received too much attention in symposia of this kind addressing theoreticians and prac titioners at the same time."

Die Ausbildung des Arztes muA problemorientiert sein. Die bisherige Praxis des Medizinstudiums bereitet die jungen A"rzte nur unzureichend auf die Anforderungen in Klinik und Praxis vor. Daher wurde als bundesweites Signal das MA1/4nchener Ausbildungsmodell entwickelt, welches von der Harvard Medical School A1/4bernommen wurde. Dieses etabliert sich als Modell an mehreren UniversitAten: MA1/4nchen, Dresden, LA1/4beck, Heidelberg und Berlin. Die vorliegende BroschA1/4re dient als Kursbegleitung. Sie ist ein Leitfaden zum praktischen Unterricht am Krankenbett.

"Es geht doch nichts uber die Freude, die uns das Studium der Natur gewiihrt. Ihre Geheimnisse sind von einer unergrundlichen Tiefe; aber es ist uns Menschen erlaubt und gegeben, immer weitere Blicke hineinzutun. Und gerade, dafJ sie am Ende doch uner grundlich bleibt, hat fur uns einen ewigen Reiz, immer wieder heranzugehen und immer wieder neue Einblicke und Entdeckungen zu versuchen." Goethe. (Aus Biedermann: Goethe-Gespriiche, VIII, S. 101.) Yom Vorstande der Westfalischen Berggewerkschaftskasse zu Bochum mit der Neu bearbeitung des von Bergassessor Dr. L. CREMER in Angriff genommenen und von Berg assessor H. MENTZEL im Jahre 1903 vollendeten ersten Bandes (Geologie) des sog. Sammel werkes "Die Entwicklung des niederrheinisch-westfalischen Steinkohlenbergbaues" be traut, begann ich Ende 1913 mit der Umarbeitung des Buches. Durch Teilnahme am Weltkriege fast 5 Jahre dieser Aufgabe entzogen, griff ich die Arbeit erst viele Jahre nach dem Kriege wieder auf, urn nach einer weiteren Reihe von Jahren zu der Uberzeugung zu kommen, daB der mir gewordene Auf trag in Form einer verbesserten Auflage des ersten Bandes nicht zu losen sein wurde."
