This book describes a program of research in computable structure theory. The goal is to find definability conditions corresponding to bounds on complexity which persist under isomorphism. The results apply to familiar kinds of structures (groups, fields, vector spaces, linear orderings Boolean algebras, Abelian p-groups, models of arithmetic). There are many interesting results already, but there are also many natural questions still to be answered. The book is self-contained in that it includes necessary background material from recursion theory (ordinal notations, the hyperarithmetical hierarchy) and model theory (infinitary formulas, consistency properties).

The present decade has brought a sharp deterioration in living conditions in many developing countries, especially in Africa and Latin America. Incomes per capita have declined and social expenditure has been cut, with setbacks in nutrition, school enrolment and health services as a result. The burden of economic adjustment tends to fall most heavily on the poor and on vulnerable groups, such as children. This is not only a tragedy in itself but also a waste of human resources and it has led to renewed attention to the role of human resources in the process of development.;This is, of course, not a new issue. It has long been understood that the realization of the full potential of human beings is both a means and an end in itself and that the reduction of poverty should be a primary aim of development. But all too often development tends to bypass the poor unless steps are taken to ensure that they share its benefits; and in times of austerity their position tends to worsen further. Hence, the present search for ways to alleviate poverty, combat hunger and uphold educational and health standards, even in times of economic distress.; This book, containing studies commissioned by the

For decades, experts and the public have been at odds over the nature and magnitude of risks and how they should be mitigated through policy. Experts argue that the fears of the public are irrational, and that public policy should be based on sound science. The public, on the other hand, is skeptical of experts, and believe policy should represent their interests. How do policy analysts make sense of these competing views? Science, Risk and Policy answers this question by examining how people evaluate evidence, how science is conducted, and how a multi-disciplinary framework to risk can inform policy by bridging the gap between experts and the public. This framework is then applied to four case studies: pesticides, genetically engineered foods, climate change, and nuclear power. By tracing the history of the science, policies and regulations, and evaluating arguments made about these risks, Andrew J. Knight provides a guide to understand how experts and the public view risks.
