Essays bringing out the crucial importance of philology for
understanding Old English texts. Robert D. Fulk is arguably the
greatest Old English philologist to emerge during the twentieth
century; his corpus of scholarship has fundamentally shaped
contemporary understanding of many aspects of Anglo-Saxon literary
historyand English historical linguistics. This volume, in his
honour, brings together essays which engage with his work and
advance his research interests. Scholarship on historical metrics
and the dating, editing, and interpretation of Old English poetry
thus forms the core of this book; other topics addressed include
syntax, phonology, etymology, lexicology, and paleography. An
introductory overview of Professor Fulk's achievements puts these
studies in context, alongside essays which assess his contributions
to metrical theory and his profound impact on the study of Beowulf.
By consolidating and augmenting Fulk's research, this collection
takes readers to the cutting edgeof Old English philology. LEONARD

In the last ten years, the physics and technology of low
dimensional structures has experienced a tremendous development.
Quantum structures with vertical and lateral confinements are now
routinely fabricated with feature sizes below 100 run. While
quantization of the electron states in mesoscopic systems has been
the subject of intense investigation, the effect of confinement on
lattice vibrations and its influence on the electron-phonon
interaction and energy dissipation in nanostructures received atten
tion only recently. This NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Phonons
in Sem iconductor Nanostructures was a forum for discussion on the
latest developments in the physics of phonons and their impact on
the electronic properties of low-dimensional structures. Our goal
was to bring together specialists in lattice dynamics and nanos
tructure physics to assess the increasing importance of phonon
effects on the physical properties of one-(lD) and zero-dimensional
(OD) structures. The Workshop addressed various issues related to
phonon physics in III-V, II-VI and IV semiconductor nanostructures.
The following topics were successively covered: Models for confined
phonons in semiconductor nanostructures, latest experimental
observations of confined phonons and electron-phonon interaction in
two-dimensional systems, elementary excitations in nanostructures,
phonons and optical processes in reduced dimensionality systems,
phonon limited transport phenomena, hot electron effects in quasi -
ID structures, carrier relaxation and phonon bottleneck in quantum
dots."

To critics, public campaign financing, generally in conjunction
with spending limits, is the ultimate solution to perceived
problems arising from ever-growing costs of campaigns and the
accompanying need for privately donated campaign funds. This book
reviews past proposals for a debate over congressional public
financing and discusses experiences with the presidential and state
public financing systems, offering potential considerations for
Congress in devising a public financing system for its elections.
