The Irish Famine of 1845-49 was a major modern catastrophe. The
return of the potato blight in 1846 triggered a huge exodus of
destitute Irish seeking refuge in British towns and 1847 witnessed
an unprecedented inflow of Irish refugees into Britain. This book
examines the scale of that refugee immigration, the conditions
under which the refugees were carried to Britain, the relief
operations mounted, the horrors of the typhus epidemic in
Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester, South Wales and the North-East, and
the financial cost to the British ratepayers.

Research in optical information technology in Europe has been very
active inrecent years. This volume records state-of-the-art
research conducted in some 22 laboratories who have worked together
within EC ESPRIT Basic Research Action 3199 up to 1992. The topics
cover: (1) Active optical logic and switching devices - embracing
new materials, nonlinear and electrooptic mechanisms as well as
advanced device fabrication. These devices cover the range from
all-optical nonlinear interferometer structures through hybrid
optical-electronic modulators to integrated emitter-receiver
structures. (2) The latest state of optical interconnect
technology, embracing diffractive optics (binary and multi-level
phase gratings), holographic space-variant elements and
micro-refractive optics. (3) Contributions on optical information
processing architecture and demonstrator projects. The materials
base ranges from silicon to II-VI materials with the realisation of
pn-junction devices in ZnSe. The research reported here lays the
basis for long-term progress in devices for information processing.
