About the turn of the century the Apicomplexa plus some other
groups were called Sporozoa. With the advent of the electron
microscope, it was realized that most "Sporozoa" have an apical
complex; those which do not (the Microspora, Myxozoa, and
Ascetospora) were removed and the name Apicomplexa was put forward
by Dr. Levine in 1970. Most of the important Apicomplexa fall into
five main groups: the gregarines, haemogregarines (about which
there is relatively little known), coccidia, haemosporids, and
piroplasms. These two volumes classify, list (with synonyms and
hosts) and give references to descriptions of the approximately
4600 species of Apicomplexa that have been named so far. Volume I
contains an 8-page introduction and covers the gregarines and
coccidia (including the haemogregarines). In volume II are the
Sarcocystidae (the predator-prey coccidia) the haemosporids (the
malaria and related parasites), the piroplasms, and some parasites
of uncertain affinities. The Apicomplexa are divided into over 300
genera and more than 60 families, but this division is deceiving.
Most of these groups contain only one or a few species. There are
fewer than 50 genera with 10 or more named species, and only 8 with
100 or more. These 8 genera (Eimeria, Haemogregarina, Gregarina,
Isospora, Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, Sarcocystis, and Babesia)
comprise more than half of the species.
This important, long-needed revision of the authors' previous book
discusses the 473 named species of coccidia of rodents. It.
contains over twice as many as the 1965 book, The Coccidian
Parasites (Protozoa, Sporozoa) of Rodents. Included is the
available up-to-date information about each of these species. Data
are given for the 99 forms which have insufficient information
available to justify assigning them species names. This work can be
used as a guide to future investigations, not only on rodent
coccidia, but also on the coccidia of all other vertebrates and
even some invertebrates. This book will serve as an invaluable and
authoritative source for parasitologists. It is of importance to
those involved in protozoology, tropical medicine, wildlife
diseases and veterinary medicine.

Six institutions in five countries that have key interests in North
Korea's future undertook a collaborative effort to determine ways
in which the North Korean system could move toward modernization.
The effort produced illustrative plans, a consensus plan, and a
tool kit for constructing alternative plans for stimulating the
modernization of the North Korean system.This book describes a
collaborative effort that produced illustrative plans, a consensus
plan, and a tool kit to construct plans for stimulating the
modernization of the North Korean system.
Have South Korean attitudes toward the United States deteriorated?
To answer this question, RAND researchers compiled and analyzed
South Korean public opinion data from the past decade. Have South
Korean attitudes toward the United States deteriorated? To answer
this question, RAND researchers compiled and analyzed public
opinion data on those attitudes and examined selected periods in
U.S.-South Korean relations to identify the sources of anti-U.S.
sentiment. They found evidence of a downturn in favorable sentiment
toward the U.S. but also of a more recent recovery. They recommend
ways to improve South KoreansO perceptions of the U.S. and address
their long-standing grievances.
The United States and South Korea enjoy many benefits from close
security cooperation but the relationship, although not currently
endangered, is shifting. Although Korea is assuming more military
responsibilities, action is needed to address Korea's desire for a
more equal partnership. Even if the United States makes an effort
to give Koreans a greater sense of ownership, Korea itself must act
like an equal partner if it wants to be treated as one. It should
make renewed efforts to reaffirm the value of the alliance and the
importance of the U.S. military presence in its country.
Provides a better understanding of the sources of controversy over
the South Korean government's approach toward North Korea and what
implications of the controversy might be for South Korea and the
United States. The debate in South Korea over the government's
engagement policy toward North Korea (the 'sunshine' policy) did
not start with Pyongyang's recent admission that it has been
secretly pursuing a nuclear weapons program in violation of
multiple international commitments. However, the evolution of the
debate will be an important determinant of how the South Korean and
broader international response to this latest North Korean
challenge ultimately ends. This book provides a framework for
viewing South Korean responses to this challenge, examining the
South Korean debate over policies toward the North, analysing the
sources of controversy, and assessing their implications.
