Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The introductory chapter of this book presents the concepts of the
bene?ts inherent in the study of comparative approach for an
effective counterterrorism response on the local law enforcement
level and overviews the inception of the project. Throughout the
twentieth century and into the twenty-?rst century, especially
after the events of September 11, 2001, the legitimacy of law
enforcement practices has been cited as a major concern for
international criminal justice. As policing pr- titioners and
scholars throughout the world shifted focus from a traditional
reactive, crime control stance to the need for accountability
mechanisms to ensure the s- port of citizenry in combating crime
and terrorism, the democratization of policing was seen as the best
mechanism for achieving long-term gains in public order at the same
time as protecting human rights. While the need to maintain human
rights remains an important issue, balancing these concerns with
the important public safety interests of societies is paramount.
The intense current interest in the development of solar energy as
a viable energy alternative comes as no surprise in view of the
widespread awareness of impending world-wide energy shortages.
After all, the magnitude of energy available from the sun is
impressive, its diffuseness and intermittent nature
notwithstanding. The fact that, as a source, it represents a
constant and inex haustible supply of energy is alluring. The fact
that most solar application schemes are nonpolluting in nature is
an attractive bonus. In spite of these impressive attributes,
research and development in the area of solar energy is in its
infancy, owing largely to the prior lack of any need to exploit
such diffuse sources. Indeed efforts in this area have
traditionally been within the province of solid-state physics and
engineering. The problems associated with efficient light
harvesting and storage, however, are not simply technological ones.
Effec tive solutions to these problems appear to lie beyond the
current forefront of the chemical sciences. Consequently input fr9m
scientists previously engaged in fundamental chemistry has begun to
emerge. Thus many of the contributions in this volume represent
input from research groups with a relatively short history of
involvement in solar energy. On the other hand, the long-standing
and perceptive commitment of Professor Melvin Calvin to research
involving solar energy represents the other extreme. This volume
covers a variety of approaches to the problem of efficiently
converting and storing solar energy."
