This book stresses the relationships between the varied natural
resource base and the economic, social, and political geography of
Michigan. It looks at agriculture and recreation and tourism,
which, along with manufacturing, are the major bases of the state's
economic development.
Michigan is truly a "Great Lake State": the two peninsulas, many
islands, and 3,100 miles of shoreline on four of the Great Lakes
give the state a unique location and a diverse physical
environment. The natural landscape is largely the result of erosion
and deposition of surface materials during the Great Ice Age.
Glacial ridges alternate with till plains and lake bottoms to give
Michigan a varied topography and great contrasts in soil fertility.
The book, through the use of text, photographs, and maps (drawn
especially for this volume by Sherman Hollander), stresses the
relationships between this varied natural resource base and the
economic, social, and political geography of Michigan. Emphasis is
placed on the demographic character, the historical background, and
the natural and human resources that have led to Michigan becoming
one of the principal manufacturing states in the United States. The
book also looks at agriculture and recreation and tourism, which,
along with manufacturing, are the major bases of the state's
economic development. The regional coverage focuses on the urban
dominance of Detroit. This comprehensive overview of Michigan
geography closes with an analysis of some of the major quality of
life issues in the state and a short glimpse into the future.

UEber den Sinn der Normung von Programmiersprachen gehen die
Meinungen weit auseinander und reichen von nutzlos bis
unerlasslich. Sicher ist heute, dass zur Sicherstellung der
Portabilitat von Programmen zwischen Produkten verschiedener
Hersteller ein Standard notwendig ist, und zwar sowohl fur Anwender
wie Hersteller. Einleuchtend ist aber auch, dass die Normung einer
Programmiersprache wenig gemeinsam hat mit derjenigen von Schrauben
oder Radern, ist doch die Sprache ein Werkzeug von
unverhaltnismassige groesserer Komplexitat. Die Lange des Normungs-
dokumentes darf daher nicht uberraschen. Ebenso gehen die Ansichten
uber den richtigen Zeitpunkt einer Standardisierung auseinander.
Wahrend in gewissen Fallen ein Standard angestrebt wird, bevor die
Sprache implementiert ist und damit ihre Zweckmassigkeit erprobt
werden kann, erfolgt sie bei Pascal fast 15 Jahre nach der
Sprach-Definition. Dies ist reichlich spat, um die in dieser Zeit
hervorgegangenen Dialekte und Varianten noch zu beeinflussen. Ein
Normungs-Dokument ist eine trockene Lekture. Die Autoren des Buches
sind daher auf die gute Idee gekommen, dieses mit einem
einfuhrenden Text zusammenzulegen. Damit wird dem Leser die
Moeglichkeit geboten, gleichzeitig die Konzepte durch einen
leichter verstandlichen Text verstehen zu lernen und die Prazision
des Normentextes zu nutzen. Auch gewahrleistet die Einfuhrung einen
besseren UEberblick. Es ist zu hoffen, dass sich beide Teile
gegenseitig erganzen und damit zu Beachtung und Erfolg verhelfen.

Wegen Drogenhandel wird die vom Luxus verwohnte Vivian Adams zu
zwei Jahren gemeinnutziger Arbeit in den Rocky Mountains
verurteilt. Unter der Obhut des ihr Angst einflossenden
Wolfsforschers Yannic Travis muss sie sich in eine ihr unbekannte
und primitive Welt integrieren, die sie schon nach wenigen Tagen an
ihrer ausweglosen Situation verzweifeln lasst. Das Verschwinden
einiger Wolfe und ein Anschlag auf Vivians Leben lasst sie
schliesslich zu einer fanatischen Tierschutzerin wachsen, die
gemeinsam mit Yannic und seinen Freunden gegen die Wilderer
einschreitet und eine grausame Entdeckung macht ...Neben einer von
Hohen und Tiefen gepragten Liebesgeschichte eine leidenschaftliche
und zartliche Liebeserklarung an ein faszinierendes Geschopf, das
sich niemals hat vom Menschen beherrschen lassen und den Geist der
Wildnis bis heute zu bewahren vermochte .
Based on archival sources, this study considers political
activities in Suffolk's two main constituencies over the course of
the 18th century. Mining the records of an unusually rich
provincial press, Sommers addresses many key questions of
Hanoverian political historiography: the press, popular political
expressions, women in politics, deference, and elite behavior. She
focuses primarily on the second half of the century, a time marked
by an increasingly sophisticated electorate that left considerable
documentary evidence, to determine how politics actually developed
in East Anglia, as recorded in public and private documents.
In addition to a description of the variety and nature of
Suffolk politics, the work elaborates upon a number of important
collateral themes. These include the appearance of intense
political awareness and enthusiastic participation in popular
activities among those not possessing the vote, coupled with a
political use of the press that grows dramatically in scope over
the course of the century. Other sections detail the sustained
development of the independence of the electorate and the
connection between religious affiliation and partisan
identification locally, as well as that between local and national
parties.
The Sudanese peace agreement reached a crisis point in its final
year. This book offers an analysis of the impact of the
implementation of the agreement on different Sudanese communities
and neighbouring regions. After a long process of peace
negotiations the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed on
9 January 2005 between the Government of Sudan (GOS) and the Sudan
People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A). The CPA raised
initialhopes that it would be the foundation block for lasting
peace in Sudan. This book compiles scholarly analyses of the
implementation of the power sharing agreement of the CPA, of
ongoing conflicts with particular respect to land issues, of the
challenges of the reintegration of internally displaced people and
refugees, and of the repercussions of the CPA in other regions of
Sudan as well as in neighbouring countries. Elke Grawert is
SeniorLecturer at the Institute for Intercultural &
International Studies (InIIS), Faculty of Social Sciences,
