This title was first published in 2001. John Kirton, Joseph Daniels
and Andreas Freytag present an indispensable and authoritative
collection of papers in this volume in the G8 and Global Governance
series. This is an essential tool for those interested in keeping
abreast of the ongoing and rapidly expanding work of the G7/G8
system. Containing the first treatment of China's relationship with
the G7/G8 and comprehensive analysis of the new G20 forum, this
volume in the G8 and Global Governance series also looks at the
possibilities for the G8 system. It places the work of the G7
within a broader context of global governance and the new
challenges facing the international community in the new century. A
balanced selection of distinguished experts from the G7 countries
and from emerging markets outside, provide an essential addition to
the bookshelves of academics, government officials and business and
media communities interested in keeping abreast of the ongoing and
rapidly expanding work of the G7/G8 system.
This title was first published in 2001. John Kirton, Joseph Daniels
and Andreas Freytag present an indispensable and authoritative
collection of papers which examine both the professional economic
merits and the underlying politics, of the hotly contested
competing initiatives for strengthening the international financial
system. Containing the first treatment of China's relationship with
the G7/G8 and comprehensive analysis of the new G20 forum, this
volume in the G8 and Global Governance series also looks at the

The second volume of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves is devoted to
the foundations of the theory of moduli of algebraic curves. Its
authors are research mathematicians who have actively participated
in the development of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves. The subject
is an extremely fertile and active one, both within the
mathematical community and at the interface with the theoretical
physics community. The approach is unique in its blending of
algebro-geometric, complex analytic and topological/combinatorial
methods. It treats important topics such as Teichmuller theory, the
cellular decomposition of moduli and its consequences and the
Witten conjecture. The careful and comprehensive presentation of
the material is of value to students who wish to learn the subject
and to experts as a reference source. The first volume appeared
1985 as vol. 267 of the same series.

In recent years there has been enormous activity in the theory of
algebraic curves. Many long-standing problems have been solved
using the general techniques developed in algebraic geometry during
the 1950's and 1960's. Additionally, unexpected and deep
connections between algebraic curves and differential equations
have been uncovered, and these in turn shed light on other
classical problems in curve theory. It seems fair to say that the
theory of algebraic curves looks completely different now from how
it appeared 15 years ago; in particular, our current state of
knowledge repre sents a significant advance beyond the legacy left
by the classical geometers such as Noether, Castelnuovo, Enriques,
and Severi. These books give a presentation of one of the central
areas of this recent activity; namely, the study of linear series
on both a fixed curve (Volume I) and on a variable curve (Volume
II). Our goal is to give a comprehensive and self-contained account
of the extrinsic geometry of algebraic curves, which in our opinion
constitutes the main geometric core of the recent advances in curve
theory. Along the way we shall, of course, discuss appli cations of
the theory of linear series to a number of classical topics (e.g.,
the geometry of the Riemann theta divisor) as well as to some of
the current research (e.g., the Kodaira dimension of the moduli
space of curves)."
