Characterising spatial and temporal variation in environmental
properties, generatingmapsfromsparse samples,and
quantifyinguncertaintiesin the maps,are key concerns across the
environmental sciences. The body of tools known as g- statistics
offers a powerful means of addressing these and related questions.
This volume presents recent research in methodological developments
in geostatistics and in a variety of speci?c environmental
application areas including soil science, climatology, pollution,
health, wildlife mapping, ?sheries and remote sensing, amongst
others. This book contains selected contributions from geoENV VII,
the 7th Int- national Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental
Applications, held in Southampton, UK, in September 2008. Like
previous conferences in the series, the meeting attracted a
diversity of researchers from across Europe and further a?eld. A
total of 82 abstracts were submitted to the conference and from
these the organisation committee selected 46 papers for oral
presentation and 30 for poster presentation. The chapters contained
in the book represent the state-of-the-art in geostatistics for the
environmental sciences. The book includes 35 chapters arranged
according to their main focus, whether methodological, or in a
particular application. All of the chapters included were accepted
after review by members of the scienti?c c- mittee and each chapter
was also subject to checks by the editors.
The Critical Nexus confronts an important and vexing enigma of
early writings on music: why chant, which was understood to be
divinely inspired, needed to be altered in order to work within the
then-operative modal system. To unravel this mystery, Charles
Atkinson creates a broad framework that moves from Greek harmonic
theory to the various stages in the transmission of Roman chant,
citing numerous music treatises from the sixth to the twelfth
century. Out of this examination emerges the central point behind
the problem: the tone-system advocated by writers coming from the
Greek harmonic tradition was not suited to the notation of chant
and that this basic incompatibility led to the creation of new
theoretical constructs. By tracing the path of subsequent
adaptation at the nexus of tone-system, mode, and notation,
Atkinson promises new and far-reaching insights into what mode
meant to the medieval musician and how the system responded to its
inherent limitations.
Through a detailed examination of the major musical treatises from
the sixth through the twelfth centuries, this text establishes a
central dichotomy between classical harmonic theory and the
practices of the Christian church. Atkinson builds the foundation
for a broad and original reinterpretation of the modal system and
how it relates to melody, grammar, and notation. This book will be
of interest to all musicologists, music theorists working on mode,
early music specialists, chant scholars, and medievalists
interested in music.
The influence of Rome on medieval plainsong and liturgy explored in
depth. Containing substantial new studies in music, liturgy,
history, art history, and palaeography from established and
emerging scholars, this volume takes a cross-disciplinary approach
to one of the most celebrated and vexing questions about plainsong
and liturgy in the Middle Ages: how to understand the influence of
Rome? Some essays address this question directly, examining Roman
sources, Roman liturgy, or Roman practice, whilst others consider
the sway ofRome more indirectly, by looking later sources, received
practices, or emerging traditions that owe a foundational debt to
Rome. Daniel J. DiCenso is Assistant Professor of Music at the
College of the Holy Cross; Rebecca Maloy is Professor of Musicology
at the University of Colorado Boulder. Contributors: Charles M.

One of Manhattan's most established play festivals, the Samuel
French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival fosters the work of
emerging writers, giving them the exposure of publication and
representation. From the initial pool of over 860 submissions, the
Final Thirty plays were chosen to be performed over a period of one
week. A panel of judges comprised of celebrity playwrights,
theatrical agents and artistic directors nominated one or more of
each evening's plays as finalists. The final roun

Max Atkinson presents a neat blend of applied political psychology
and communications theory that is bound to be read closely in the
corridors of power. His study of the art of effective political
persuasion will revolutionize - for the better - political
communications in Britain.' - "Robert Worcester. Chairman, MORI

Molecular self-assembly is a widespread phenomenon in both
chemistry and biochemistry. Yet it was not until the rise of
supramolecular chemistry that attention has increasingly been given
to the designed self-assembly of a variety of synthetic molecules
and ions. To a large extent, success in this area has reflected
knowledge gained from nature. However, an increased awareness of
the latent steric and electronic information implanted in
individual molecular components has also contributed to this
success. Whilst not yet approaching the sophistication of
biological assemblies, synthetic systems of increasing subtlety and
considerable aesthetic appeal have been created. Self-Assembly in
Supramolecular Systems surveys highlights of the progress made in
the creation of discrete synthetic assemblies and provides a
foundation for new workers in the area, as well as background
reading for experienced supramolecular chemists.

Comparative studies of medieval chant traditions in western Europe,
Byzantium and the Slavic nations illuminate music, literacy and
culture. Gregorian chant was the dominant liturgical music of the
medieval period, from the time it was adopted by Charlemagne's
court in the eighth century; but for centuries afterwards it
competed with other musical traditions, local repertories from the
great centres of Rome, Milan, Ravenna, Benevento, Toledo,
Constantinople, Jerusalem, and Kievan Rus, and comparative study of
these chant traditions can tell us much about music, liturgy,
literacy and culture a thousand years ago. This is the first
book-length work to look at the issues in a global, comprehensive
way, in the manner of the work of Kenneth Levy, the leading
exponent of comparative chant studies. It covers the four most
fruitful approaches for investigators: the creation and
transmission of chant texts, based on the psalms and other sources,
and their assemblage into liturgical books; the analysis and
comparison of musical modes and scales; the usesof neumatic
notation for writing down melodies, and the differences wrought by
developmental changes and notational reforms over the centuries;
and the use of case studies, in which the many variations in a
specific text or melodyare traced over time and geographical
distance. The book is therefore of profound importance for
historians of medieval music or religion - Western, Byzantine, or
Slavonic - and for anyone interested in issues of orality and
writing in the transmission of culture. PETER JEFFERY is Professor
of Music History, Princeton University. Contributors: JAMES W.
