Found footage horror anthology comprised of short films from a variety of directors bound together by a framing narrative in which a group of burglars break into an isolated house and play the videotapes they find. The directors to contribute the terrifying films on the VHS tapes are David Bruckner, Glenn McQuaid, Ti West, Joe Swanberg and the four auteurs who comprise Radio Silence, with Adam Wingard directing the sequences that follow the effects of the videos on the burglars who view them. The actors to appear include Calvin Reeder, Lane Hughes, Kentucker Audley, Hannah Fierman and Jas Sams.

for the design of control programs; in extreme cases (as dis cussed below, by Fine et al., this volume, and elsewhere) it can happen that immunization programs, although they protect vaccinated individuals, actually increase the overall incidence of a particular disease. The possibility that many nonhuman animal populations may be regulated by parasitic infections is another topic where it may be argued that conventional disciplinary boundaries have retarded investigation. While much ecological research has been devoted to exploring the extent to which competition or predator-prey interactions may regulate natural populations or set their patterns of geographical distribution, few substan tial studies have considered the possibility that infectious diseases may serve as regulatory agents (1,8). On the other hand, the many careful epidemiological studies of the trans mission and maintenance of parasitic infections in human and other animal populations usually assume the host population density to be set by other considerations, and not dynamically engaged with the disease (see, for example, (1,2)). With all these considerations in mind, the Dahlem Workshop from which this book derives aimed to weave strands together -- testing theoretical analysis against empirical facts and patterns, and identifying outstanding problems -- in pursuit of a better un derstanding of the overall population biology of parasitic in fections. For the purpose of the workshop, the term "parasite" was de fined widely to include viruses, bacteria, protozoans, fungi, and helminths."

The science ofparasitology is particularlyrelevantto the health ofhumans and animals throughout the world. As such, it provides the core of the Rockefeller Foundation program ofbiomedical research called The Great Neglected Diseases of Mankind. While some bacterial, viral, and fungal diseases are included in this program, the parasiticdiseases caused bypro- tozoa and helminths almost uniformly fit into this category. Many ofthem infect vast numbers of people and animals (of the order of hundreds of millions), but theyare greatlyneglected bythe scientific establishmentof the modern world. The principal reason for this neglect, both scientific and financial, is the fact that these diseases are primarily problems ofthe developing world. Hence, no vaccines exist for anyofthe human parasitic diseases; for many, treatment is either nonexistent or highly toxic; and diagnosis still relies largely on the visual examination ofbiopsies, blood, and excreta. In contrast, the discovery ofa spate ofantibiotics has revolu- tionized treatment of bacterial diseases, and vaccines have been devel- opedfor manybacterial andviral diseases. Furthermore, the field ofmicro- biology, which deals largely with bacteriology and virology, has sparked the scientific revolutions ofimmunology and molecular biology. In order to examine the present status of parasitology and the reasons for its putative neglect, as well as to develop means of remedying the sit- uation, aseries ofconferences has been convened, bringing together clas- sical parasitologists and a new and complementary breed of parasite-ori- ented immunologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, and population ecologists.

The monograph offers a comprehensive discussion of the role of evaporites in hydrocarbon generation and trapping, and new information on low temperature and high temperature ores. It also provides a wealth of information on exploitable salts, in a comprehensive volume has been assembled and organized to provide quick access to relevant information on all matters related to evaporites and associated brines. In addition, there are summaries of evaporite karst hazards, exploitative methods and problems that can arise in dealing with evaporites in conventional and solution mining. This second edition has been revised and extended, with three new chapters focusing on ore minerals in different temperature settings and a chapter on meta-evaporites. Written by a field specialist in research and exploration, the book presents a comprehensive overview of the realms of low- and high-temperature evaporite evolution. It is aimed at earth science professionals, sedimentologists, oil and gas explorers, mining geologists as well as environmental geologists.

The complexity and dynamism of modern industries and businesses has exposed shortcomings in the strategy tools currently in widespread use. Senior management is in urgent need of a practical, fact-based, but rigorous approach for understanding how their organizations function, interact with competitors and their market place, and deliver performance over time. The Strategy Dynamics approach offers a means for accomplishing this task, and building a more confident and prosperous path into the future.

Kim Warren provides a very clear and accessible introduction to the Strategy Dynamics approach in Competitive Strategy Dynamics. He offers powerful but usable frameworks to explain and deliver the key concern of senior managers and investors - business performance through time. In addition to tangible factors such as customers and staff, he shows how to deal with the unavoidable influence of 'soft' factors such as morale, quality, reputation and capabilities. He also explains how the Strategy Dynamics approach is relevant and applicable to all contexts - new venture development, rapid growth, maturity, decline, rivalry, market entry and so on.

Competitive Strategy Dynamics has been written for MBA and Executive Education courses in strategic management, business policy and international management, but the concepts are relevant, too, in other subjects, such as marketing, organizational behavior and new venture development. It is also an important tool for strategy consultants and practising managers, whether in large or small firms, manufacturing or service sectors, public service or not-for-profit organizations.

1 Die Konferenzreihe des Europarats uber Fragen des Parlamentarismus und der Wissen- schaften verfolgt den Zweck, Parlamentarier, Wissenschaftler, Vertreter der Industrie, Ge- werkschaftler und wissenschaftliche Fuhrungskrafte aus ganz Europa, den wichtigsten in- ternationalen Organisationen und, soweit irgend moeglich, aus anderen Landern, die vor den gleichen Problemen stehen, im Hinblick auf periodische Diskussionen bestimmter Themen zusammenzufuhren. Vor der Abhaltung der ersten Konferenz im Jahr 1961 gab es kein eingesessenes internationales Forum, wo Vertreter dieser verschiedenen Diszipli- nen zusammenkommen und ihre Ansichten und Anliegen in bezug auf Fragen auf dem Gebiet von Wissenschaft und Politik zur Sprache bringen konnten. Die Konferenzreihe wurde ins Leben gerufen, weil man der Ansicht war, dass Wissenschaftler und Parlamenta- rier im besonderen und daruber hinaus alle Sozialpartner im allgemeinen dringend der Verbesserung der Verstandigung uber die Art und Weise der Loesung wissenschaftlicher und technologischer Fragen bedurften, zu denen sie in verschiedenen Stadien des Ent- scheidungsprozesses Stellung zu beziehen gezwungen sein wurden. Insbesondere war man der Meinung, dass die Vertrautheit der Politiker mit der Bedeutung und den Bedingungen wissenschaftlicher Untersuchung erhoeht und das Bewusstsein der Wissenschaftler von den Bedurfnissen der Gesellschaft, wie sie durch die Beweggrunde und Zwange demokrati- scher Politik vorgegeben sind, gescharft werden mussten. Die Konferenzen waren stets fur Anregungen von aussen empfanglich und standen Be- suchern von jenseits der Grenzen Europas offen.
