Swashbuckling, romantic, and full of the sights and sounds of
Shakespeare's London, this series starter delivers an unforgettable
story-and a heroine unlike any other. A sweeping YA fantasy trilogy
debut, placing black queerness at the centre of Shakespearian
London. Sixteen-year-old Joan Sands is a gifted craftswoman who
creates and upkeeps the stage blades for William Shakespeare's
acting company, The King's Men. Joan's skill with her blades comes
from a magical ability to control metal-an ability gifted by her
Head Orisha, Ogun. Because her whole family is Orisha-blessed, the
Sands family have always kept tabs on the Fae presence in London.
Usually that doesn't involve much except noting the faint glow
around a Fae's body as they try to blend in with London society,
but lately, there has been an uptick in brutal Fae attacks. After
Joan wounds a powerful Fae and saves the son of a cruel Lord, she
is drawn into political intrigue in the human and Fae worlds.

This book examines the origins, presence, and implications of
scientistic thinking in psychology. Scientism embodies the claim
that only knowledge attained by means of natural scientific methods
counts as valid and valuable. This perspective increasingly
dominates thinking and practice in psychology and is seldom
acknowledged as anything other than standard scientific practice.
This book seeks to make this intellectual movement explicit and to
detail the very real limits in both role and reach of science in
psychology. The critical chapters in this volume present an
alternative perspective to the scholarly mainstreams of the
discipline and will be of value to scholars and students interested
in the scientific status and the philosophical bases of psychology
as a discipline.

Following an exchange of correspondence, I met Ross in Adelaide in
June 1988. I was approached by the University of Adelaide about
being an external examiner for this dissertation and willingly
agreed. Upon receiving a copy of this work, what struck me most was
the scholarship with which Ross approaches and advances this
relatively new field of adaptive data compression. This
scholarship, coupled with the ability to express himself clearly
using figures, tables, and incisive prose, demanded that Ross's
dissertation be given a wider audience. And so this thesis was
brought to the attention of Kluwer. The modern data compression
paradigm furthered by this work is based upon the separation of
adaptive context modelling, adaptive statistics, and arithmetic
coding. This work offers the most complete bibliography on this
subject I am aware of. It provides an excellent and lucid review of
the field, and should be equally as beneficial to newcomers as to
those of us already in the field.
will probably be clarified by the continued cooperative efforts of
scientists such as those in the group that met in Berlin last
September. The staff of Dahlem Konferenzen is responsible for
making the meeting of this group memorably pleasant and pleasantly

elegantly, smoothly, and decisively, even down to the choice of
editors for this volume. Marie Cervantes-Waldmann performed minor
miracles extracting manuscripts gently but persistently from the
authors and in turning the typescripts into a book. The other staff

Microbial Processes in the Sulfur Cycle Through Time H. G. TrUper
Institut f. Microbiologie, Rheinische
Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat, 5300 Bonn 1, F. R. Germany
Abstract. Two microbial processes are involved in the sulfur cycle
of the earth's biosphere: anoxic dissimilatory sulfur oxidation by
phototrophic bacteria and dissimilatory sulfate reduction by
sulfate-reducing bacteria. In the presence of oxygen at chemoclines
and redoxclines dissimilatory sulfur oxidation by chemolithotrophic
bacteria (Thiobacillus, Beg- giatoa, and others) occurs. In
addition, dissimilatory sulfur reducing bacteria participate in the
sulfur cycle.

The "Europe against Cancer" programme has, from its inception,
emphasised the key role which general practitioners must play in
the actions necessary to achieve its aim of reducing the incidence
and the mortality from cancer in the European Community. General
practitioners, because of their day-to-day direct and continuing
contact with patients, playa role not only in primary prevention
and education of patients, but also in motivating their patients to
accept secondary prevention and screening, some of it carried out
by general practitioners themselves. These preventive activities
are in addi tion to their traditional role in the care and
management of patients with cancer at home, and increasingly, their
role in active treatment. In view of the importance of the general
practitioner in the "Europe against Cancer" programme, the European
Commission, with a view to providing general practitioners with
up-to-date useful information, has sponsored the production of this
series of publi cations on organbased cancers, especially written
for general practitioners. Regis Malbois Advisor in charge of the
"Europe against Cancer" programme Commission of the European
Communities Brussels Preface Colorectal cancer is the second most
common cause of death from malignant disease with a high incidence
in many European countries. This book is part of a series of pub
lications on major cancer diseases designed for the European family
doctor. It is pub lished by the Commission of the European
Communities within the context of the Eu rope Against Cancer

Return to the River will describe a new ecosystem-based approach to
the restoration of salmon and steelhead populations in the Columbia
River, once one of the most productive river basins for anadromous
salmonids on the west coast of North America. The approach of this
work has broad applicability to all recovery efforts throughout the
northern hemisphere and general applicability to fisheries and
aquatic restoration efforts throughout the world.
The Pacific Northwest is now embroiled in a major public policy
debate over the management and restoration of Pacific salmon. The
outcome of the debate has the potential to affect major segments of
the region's economy - river transportation, hydroelectric
production, irrigated agriculture, urban growth, commercial and
sport fisheries, etc. This debate, centered as it is on the salmon
in all the rivers, has created a huge demand for information. The
book will be a powerful addition to that debate.
* A 15 year collaboration by a diverse group of scientists working
on the management and recovery of salmon, steelhead trout, and
wildlife populations in the Pacific Northwest
* Includes over 200 figures, with four-color throughout the
book
* Discusses complex issues such as habitat degradation, juvenile
survival through the hydrosystem, the role of artificial
production, and harvest reform
Open publication This volume brings together contributors from
cognitive psychology, theoretical and applied linguistics, as well
as computer science, in order to assess the progress made in
statistical learning research and to determine future directions.
An important objective is to critically examine the role of
statistical learning in language acquisition. While most
contributors agree that statistical learning plays a central role
in language acquisition, they have differing views. This book will
promote the development of the field by fostering discussion and
collaborations across disciplinary boundaries.
Few issues in Christian theology have sparked as much debate over
the centuries as the question of election. In this book Stephen
Williams offers a coherent account of the doctrine of election and
argues that we should diminish the role of system in Christian
theology. After discussing the biblical teaching on election,
Williams turns to questions of theological method and substance. He
maintains that the subject of predestination has to be considered
in a wider biblical context than it often is and that it is a
mistake to expect election to be understood within a comprehensive
systematic framework. What matters is the relation of particular
truths to the particulars of life, not the systematic relation of
truths to each other. Williams draws on and applies the insights of
nineteenth- century evangelical Anglican leader Charles Simeon
throughout and concludes his study with a long appendix on Karl
Barth's view of election.

The book of Joshua is often troubling -- what should we make of the
fact that the violent occupation of land is not simply presented,
but celebrated? How can we reconcile that with the key role the
book plays in the biblical drama of salvation? What should we make
of the God of Joshua? / In this volume Gordon McConville and
Stephen Williams interpret Joshua in relation to Christian
theology, addressing such questions and placing the book in its
proper place in the canonical whole. McConville deals specifically
with the commentary and exegesis of the text. Williams then moves
in to focus on issues of interpretation. He addresses key
theological themes, such as land, covenant, law, miracle, judgment
(with the problem of genocide), and idolatry. / The authors posit
that the theological topics engaged in Joshua are not limited to
the horizons of the author and first readers of the book, but that
Joshua is part of a much larger testimony which concerns readers
yet today.
