This grammar is a complete reference guide to the language of
Indonesia as used by native speakers. The book is organised to
promote a thorough understanding of Indonesian grammar. It presents
the complexities of Indonesian in a concise and readable form. An
extensive index, cross-referencing and a generous use of headings
will provide readers with immediate access to the information they
require. Key features: to aid clarity, all word groups and
structures discussed are illustrated by natural examples of
frequently used words and expressions each section can be read
independently, enabling the reader to focus on a specific aspect of
the language, if required all major structures of Indonesian, from
words to complex sentences are described in detail common
grammatical terms used are all clearly defined in an extensive
glossary. By providing a comprehensive description of Indonesian in
a clear and non-technical manner, this grammar makes an ideal
reference source for all users of the language, whether in
colleges, universities or adult education classes of all types.

and International Studies at Griffith University, with long
experience teaching Indonesian language and linguistics. He is also
author of Understanding Indonesian Grammar. Alexander Adelaar is
Principal Fellow in the Asia Institute at the University of
Melbourne. He is author of a number of books on Austronesian
linguistics. Dwi Noverini Djenar lectures in the Department of

Conversation: Identifying clause structure in spoken Javanese.
Some 800 Austronesian languages are spoken in the area extending
from Madagascar to eastern Indonesia and to the north to Taiwan and
the Philippines. They vary greatly in almost every possible
respect, including the size and social make-up of the speech
communities and their typological profiles. This book is designed
to serve as a reference work and in-depth introduction to these
languages, providing a source of basic information for linguists
and other professionals concerned with this area. It highlights the
cultural and linguistic diversity of this group of languages while
at the same time keeping track of their common heritage.
Five introductory articles on linguistic history, language
politics, language endangerment, ritual speech and special
registers, and major typological features have the entire area in
their scope and provide a balanced and up-to-date discussion of the
major issues. The core of the volume consists of grammatical
sketches of twenty languages plus three chapters dealing with
different aspects of Malay (Old Malay, Malayic varieties and
Colloquial Indonesian), representing a good cross-section of the
linguistic diversity found in the area.

This volume has been created in honor of the seventieth birthday of
Ted Harris, which was celebrated on January 11th, 1989. The papers
rep resent the wide range of subfields of probability theory in
which Ted has made profound and fundamental contributions. This
breadth in Ted's research complicates the task of putting together
in his honor a book with a unified theme. One common thread noted
was the spatial, or geometric, aspect of the phenomena Ted
investigated. This volume has been organized around that theme,
with papers covering four major subject areas of Ted's research:
branching processes, percola tion, interacting particle systems,
and stochastic flows. These four topics do not* exhaust his
research interests; his major work on Markov chains is commemorated
in the standard technology "Harris chain" and "Harris recurrent" .
The editors would like to take this opportunity to thank the
speakers at the symposium and the contributors to this volume.
Their enthusi astic support is a tribute to Ted Harris. We would
like to express our appreciation to Annette Mosley for her efforts
in typing the manuscripts and to Arthur Ogawa for typesetting the
volume. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the National Science
Foundation and the University of South ern California for their
financial support.
In dem Band XV /2 des Handbuches der medizinischen Radiologie
wurden bei der klini- schen Nuklearmedizin bewuBt einige Kapitel
herausgenommen, urn die weitere Entwicklung auf diesen Gebieten
abzuwarten. Der vorliegende Band beinhaltet diese Kapitel. Die
nuklear- medizinische Herz- und Kreislaufdiagnostik hat sich in der
Zwischenzeit zu einem der drei wichtigsten diagnostischen Gebiete
der Nuklearmedizin entwickelt. Dies nicht nur im Hin- blick auf die
Aussagemoglichkeit sondern auch fur die Anzahl der zu
untersuchenden Patien- ten. Mit dieser Entwicklung ist eindeutig
bewiesen, daB die ExistenzHihigkeit der Nuklearme- dizin trotz
erheblicher Leistungen anderer, auch bildgebenden Verfahren
gewahrleistet ist. Die nuklearmedizinische Herz- und
Kreislaufdiagnostik, die sich von den ersten Anfangen an, zunachst
nur an einzelnen Zentren und hier auch langsam entwickelt hat, ist
in ihrer Bedeutung in den letzten lahren sprunghaft angestiegen.
Hinzu kommt allerdings, daB das Untersuchungsverfahren innerhalb
der nuklearmedizinischen Technik eines der schwierigsten und
aufwendigsten ist und daB die Anforderungen an den Arzt im Hinblick
auf seine diagno- stischen Aussagen eine groBe Erfahrung verlangen.
Aus diesen Grunden ist der Thematik in dies em Band erheblicher
Raum eingeraumt worden. Die einze1nen Kapitel demonstrieren die
Entwicklung, die Effizienz und die diagnostischen
Aussagemoglichkeiten. Gleiches gilt fur die nuklearmedizinischen
Untersuchungsverfahren fur die Padiatrie. Durch die standige
Verbesserung der Radiopharmaka und der MeBgerateeinheiten weitet
sich dieses Gebiet mehr aus und bringt tatsachlich richtig in
Anwendung gebracht erhebliche Fortschritte fUr die
Differentialdiagnostik bei Erkrankungen im Sauglings- und
Kindesalter.
Financial sanctions have become important instruments of regulatory
and foreign policy in recent years. Following 9/11, the leading G10
developed countries have increasingly been using targeted financial
sanctions against designated states, international terrorist
organizations, drug traffickers, and their commercial and financial
supporters. This book provides the first in depth study examining
the post-9/11 financial sanctions programmes in the US and Europe,
and the key regulatory and legal issues that confront businesses
and related liability issues for third parties and individuals.
This unique book is the first to focus on the cardiovascular
effects of obesity. The authors present and integrate relevant
literature from such disparate areas as endocrinology/metabolism,
surgery, biochemistry, and physiology.
Among the topics covered are:
The effects of obesity on myocardial metabolism, morphology and
function
An in-depth analysis of the evolution of obesity
cardiomyopathy
Obesity's interrelationship with sleep disordered breathing
The effects of weight loss on obesity-related cardiopulmonary
abnormalities
Obesity and coronary artery disease
This last topic has seldom if ever been so comprehensively
reviewed. Indeed, the entire text provides the most in-deth
critical analysis yet of how obesity affects the heart and lung and
is hence recommended for anyone working in the field of obesity or
providing medical care to obese patients.

During the long summer of 1787, while half a hundred men
deliberated in utmost secrecy over the fate of a nation, newspaper
editors went to great length to win support for the federalist
cause. By launching one of the greatest media marketing campaigns
in American history, publishers repeatedly promoted the anticipated
results of the Constitutional Convention while actively stifling
its antifederal critics. In this revealing expose of media
management in the eighteenth century, historian John K. Alexander
demonstrates how publishers' tacit political assumptions and their
tightly woven information networks channeled public debate over the
issue. He quantitatively and qualitatively shows how publishers
turned their papers into propaganda instruments in an effort to
create and solidify a popular consensus around the yet unknown
results of the Convention. In the words of one New York editor,
"they conceived it a duty incumbent on them to prepare the minds of
their readers for [the Constitution's] reception." "The evidence
from 1787," writes Alexander, "suggests that independent ownership
and operation offer no guarantee of a truly free and informative
press." The Selling of the Constitutional Convention is a
fascinating analysis of news management in the 1780s that sheds new
light on the role of the press in early American political culture.
The ongoing crisis in Sudan is characteristic of the many
challenges of nation-building on the African continent. Yet it has
unique dynamics. The legacy of exploitative colonial rule,
racialised marginalisation of the majority of its people, ethnic
and religious divisions, and a state with a high capacity for
repression but little propensity for extending protection and
consensual rule to the majority of its population, has resulted in
extended conflict. Current attempts to end half a century of war,
instability and state repression have led to a fragile peace.
Sustaining this peace will demand all the efforts of national,
regional and international actors. This title is an attempt to
trace the origins of the problems, the ongoing conflicts and the
huge challenges confronting the efforts to bring peace and
reconciliation to Sudan.
