Originally published in 1984. Australia is a resource-rich country
deriving a significant proportion of its export earnings from trade
in these resources. At the same time, the country is young,
sparsely populated beyond the coastal fringe, particularly in the
resource-rich areas, and environmentally fragile. The consequences
of resource exploitation in these areas have far-reaching policy
implications. A range of these concerns is canvassed in this
volume, encompassing the views of policy-makers, planners and
academics. Five chapters address social and economic impacts
ranging over manufacturing and tertiary industry, immigration and
labour markets, employment and population and the provision of
educational facilities. Many of these are seen in microcosm in the
Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Two contributions offer an
international perspective, one in another federal system - Canada -
and one where Australian interests are participating in resource
extraction - Papua New Guinea. The issues raised are fundamental to
Australia's development in the 1980's and of importance to everyone
connected with the development and planning of Australia's future.

This book originates from graduate courses given in Cambridge and
London. It provides a brisk, thorough treatment of the foundations
of algebraic number theory, and builds on that to introduce more
advanced ideas. Throughout, the authors emphasise the systematic
development of techniques for the explicit calculation of the basic
invariants, such as rings of integers, class groups, and units.
Moreover they combine, at each stage of development, theory with
explicit computations and applications, and provide motivation in
terms of classical number-theoretic problems. A number of special
topics are included that can be treated at this level but can
usually only be found in research monographs or original papers,
for instance: module theory of Dedekind domains; tame and wild
ramifications; Gauss series and Gauss periods; binary quadratic
forms; and Brauer relations. This is the only textbook at this
level which combines clean, modern algebraic techniques together
with a substantial arithmetic content. It will be indispensable for
all practising and would-be algebraic number theorists.
This volume is an outgrowth of the LMS Durham Symposium on
L-functions, held in July 1989. The symposium consisted of several
short courses, aimed at presenting rigorous but non-technical
expositions of the latest research areas, and a number of
individual lectures on specific topics. The contributors are all
outstanding figures in the area of algebraic number theory and this
volume will be of lasting value to students and researchers working
in the area.
These notes form an extended version of talks given at the
DMV-seminar in Giinzburg, September 1990. The seminar consisted of
two parts: 1) "The isomorphism problem for integral group rings,"
with the main talks given by K. W. Roggenkamp and shorter
contributions by W.Kimmerle, J.llitter and A. Zimmermann (Part 1).
2) "Galois-Module structure," with the main talks given by M.Taylor
and shorter contributions by N.Byott (Part 2). We greatly
appreciate the opportunity, given us by the DMV to hold this
seminar. DMV-Seminar Part 1 Group Rings: Units and the Isomorphism
