Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 11 Plant diseases are destructive and threaten virtually any crop grown on a commercial scale. They are kept in check by plant breeding strategies that have introgressed disease resistance genes into many important crops, and by the deployment of costly control measures, such as antibiotics and fungicides. However, the capacity for the agents of plant disease - viruses, bacteria, fungi and oomycetes - to adapt to new conditions, overcoming disease resistance and becoming resistant to pesticides, is very great. For these reasons, understanding the biology of plant diseases is essential for the development of durable control strategies. This volume provides an overview of our current knowledge of plant-pathogen interactions and the establishment of plant disease, drawing together fundamental new information on plant infection mechanisms and host responses. The role of molecular signals, gene regulation and the physiology of pathogenic organisms are emphasised, but the role of the prevailing environment in the conditioning of disease is also discussed. This is a book for researchers and professionals in plant pathology, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics.

A key text for all those involved in pharmacovigilance.

Detection of new adverse drug reactions is fundamental to the protection of patients from harm that may occur as a result of medication.

Corona- and related viruses are important human and animal pathogens that also serve as models for other viral-mediated diseases. Interest in these pathogens has grown tremendously since the First International Symposium was held at the Institute of Virology and Immunobiology of the University of Wiirzburg, Germany. The Sixth International Symposium was held in Quebec City from August 27 to September I, 1994, and provided further understanding of the molecular biology, immunology, and pathogenesis of corona-, toro-, and arterivirus infections. Lectures were given on the molecular biology, pathogenesis, immune responses, and development of vaccines. Studies on the pathogenesis of coronavirus infections have been focused mainly on murine coronavirus, and mouse hepatitis virus. Neurotropic strains ofMHV (e.g., JHM, A59) cause a demyelinating disease that has served as an animal model for human multiple sclerosis. Dr. Samuel Dales, of the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada, gave a state-of-the-art lecture on our current under standing of the pathogenesis of JHM-induced disease.

Written with practitioners in mind, this new edition of "Stephen's Detection of Adverse Drug Reactions: Principle and Practice" continues to be one of the corner stones of the pharmaceutical medicine list. The classic text covers the issues and problems involved in the detection of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) throughout the life cycle of a medicine from animal studies through to clinical trials, its introduction to the market, followed by wide clinical use, and eventual decline in use or withdrawal. The sixth edition is completely revised and updated including five new chapters on pharmacogenomics, ADRs with herbal medicines, safety of medical devices, safety issues with oncology drugs, and economic aspects of ADRs. All tables and web information needed in order to practice are included to make this sixth edition a complete primer for the new practitioner and a reference for the more experienced.

Stendhal (Marie Henri Beyle), the author of two of France's great novels of the post-Napoleon Restoration - The Red and the Black (1830) and The Charterhouse of Parma (1839) - once wrote that his ideal readers would be born in the twentieth century. The modern spirit that runs through Stendhal's writing is one of the many themes Emile J. Talbot explores in this insightful, comprehensive analysis of Stendhal's work. Focusing on the novels - besides the two classics, Armance (1827), Lucien Leuwen (1834-35), and Lamiel (1839-42) - and the autobiography The Life of Henry Brulard (1835-36), Talbot argues that, narratologically, Stendhal's work has closer ties to the eighteenth-century novel than to novels published during Stendhal's own time. Although Stendhal participates in the trend toward greater realistic representation, Talbot finds that his realism seeks to involve the reader in the process of representation. Talbot asserts that Stendhal, for whom seriousness and humor are always conjoined, wants to share with his readers his self-consciousness as a novelist, which is part of the play of his writing, especially in The Red and the Black. This playfulness is evident, Talbot maintains, as Stendhal invites his readers to participate in the game of fictional creation. The confrontation between prerevolutionary and postrevolutionary values that Stendhal constantly witnessed Talbot identifies as another important theme in the novels. Stendhal's approach in exploring the relationship between individuals and political institutions is quite modern, according to Talbot; still, the author eschews the modern doctrine of historical progress, taking instead a cyclical view of human development inwhich great societies appear and disappear at various periods. Talbot disputes various claims that Stendhal is a writer of the Left or the Right: he remained cynical about politics, and his work is an indictment of governments of every stripe. That all Stendhal's heroes are adolescents on the verge of becoming adults makes his novels, Talbot contends, in one sense novels of education or initiation. Stendhal's heroes evolve from characters who try to live according to a preconceived model to characters in search of self-definition - from states of tortured self-questioning to discovery of a sense of self and the formulation of a new relationship to the other. Talbot delineates the fear of being judged by others as inevitably the source of suffering for Stendhal's characters. Love, however, is what destroys the fear of others, and in fact, argues Talbot, Stendhal redefines hell as no longer being able to love. Indeed, passionate and romantic love is Stendhal's paramount theme.
