The contents of this book are based on invited papers submittedfor
presentation and discussion at the 1990 Material Handling Research
Colloquium held in Hebron, Kentucky, June 19-21,1990. The
Colloquium was sponsored and organized by the College Industry
Councilfor Material Handling Education (CIC-MHE) with addi tional
co-sponsorship and funding provided by numerous organizations (see
ac knowledgements). The purpose of the Colloquium was to foster
open discussion about the current state of material handling
research at universitiesfrom across the United States and Canada.
It was an opportunity to share specific research directions and
accomplish ments. But more importantly, it was an opportunity to
discuss the implications of the basic constraints to solving
industry relevant problems in the field of material handling and
closely related activities; the efficacy of the approaches being
taken at the present time; and the directions believed to be of
most value to the industry and to advancing the knowledge and
science base of the material handling engineering discipline. The
sponsoring organization, the College Industry Councilfor Material
Handling Education was founded in 1952. The council is composed of
college and university educators, material handling equipment
manufacturers, distributors, users and con sultants,
representatives of the business press plus professional staff and
members of other organizations concerned with material handling
education."
Interest in the biology of parasitic flowering plants has been
increasing over the past decade, both through it desire to
understand the functional biology of these organisms and because of
the devastating effects they can have on agricultural crops. This
multi-authored book focuses on recent advances in our knowledge of
parasitic plants, synthesising information from a wide range of
sources. The editors have drawn together an extremely impressive
list of international contributors, each an expert in the topics
covered, which include seed germination and host penetration,
molecular biology and evolution, water/mineral/carbon relations of
parasites and their hosts, growth and reproductive ecology, host
plant responses to parasitism, parasitic plants as weeds and their
control. This important new book will be of great value to upper
level undergraduate students and professional ecologists,
agriculturists, plant scientists, plant physiologists, crop
protection personnel, agrochemical companies and any researcher
working with plants.
The Symbolism of Evil is the final book in Ricoeur's early trilogy
on the will. While Freedom and Nature sets aside normative
questions altogether and Fallible Man examines the question of what
makes the bad will possible, here Ricoeur takes up the question of
evil in its actuality. What is the nature of the will that has
succumbed to evil? The question of evil resists reflection and
remains inscrutable. This leads Ricoeur to proceed indirectly
through a study of the abundant resources contained in symbols and
myths. Symbols, as Ricoeur famously says, "give rise to thought"
and thereby open up a field of meanings which help to inform a
philosophical reflection on evil. This hermeneutics of symbols
signals an important shift in Ricoeur's philosophical trajectory
which increasingly shifts to language and the various forms of
discourse which harbor multiple meanings. The contributors to this
volume highlight a wide range of important themes in Ricoeur's
treatment of the symbolics of evil that resonate with current
topics in contemporary philosophy and religion.

The Phenomenology of Revelation in Heidegger, Marion, and Ricoeur
provides a critical framework for understanding the phenomenology
of revelation through a series of close readings that serve as the
basis for an imagined dialogue between Martin Heidegger, Jean-Luc
Marion, and Paul Ricoeur. Adam J. Graves distinguishes between two
dominant approaches to revelation: a "radical" approach that seeks
to disclose a pre-linguistic experience of revelation through a
radicalization of the phenomenological reduction, and a
"hermeneutical" one that characterizes revelation as an eruption of
meaning arising from our encounter with concrete symbols,
narratives, and texts. According to Graves, the radical approach is
often driven by a misplaced concern for maintaining philosophical
rigor and for avoiding theological biases, or "contaminations."
This preoccupation leads to a process of "counter-contamination" in
which the concept of revelation is ultimately estranged from the
phenomenon's rich historical and linguistic content. While
Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology may do a better job of
accommodating the concrete content of revelation, it does so at the
price of having to renouncing the kind of "presuppositionlessness"
generally associated with phenomenological method. Ultimately,
Graves argues that a more nuanced appreciation of the complex
nature of our linguistic inheritance enables us to reconceive the
relationship between revelation and philosophical thought.
