This volume contains papers presented at the IUTAM Symposium on
Bubble Dynamics and Interface Phenomena held at the University of
Birmingham from 6-9 September 1993. In many respects it follows on
a decade later from the very successful IUTAM Symposium held at
CALTECH in June 1981 on the Mechanics and physics of bubbles in
liquids which was organised by the late Milton Plesset and Leen van
Wijngaarden. The intervening period has seen major development with
both experiment and theory. On the experimental side there have
been ad vances with very high speed photography and data recording
that provide detailed information on fluid and interface motion.
Major developments in both computer hardware and software have also
led to extensive improvement in our understand ing of bubble and
interface dynamics although development is still limited by the
sheer complexity of the laminar and turbulent flow regimes often
associated with bubbly flows. The symposium attracts wide and
extensive interest from engineers, physical, chemical, biological
and medical scientists and applied mathematicians. The sci entific
committee sought to achieve a balance between theory and experiment
over a range of fields in bubble dynamics and interface phenomena.
It was our intention to emphasise both the breadth and recent
developments in these various fields and to encourage
cross-fertilisation of ideas on both experimental techniques and
theo retical developments. The programme, and the proceedings
recorded herein, cover bubble dynamics, sound and wave propagation,
bubbles in flow, sonoluminescence, acoustic cavitation, underwater
explosions, bursting bubbles and ESWL."

As in so many fields of scientific endeavour following the
molecular biology revo lution, our knowledge of the role of
radicals not only in pathological states, but in basic physiology
has developed exponentially. Indeed, our evolving concepts have,
like so many political parties, been forced into dramatic "V-turns"
and contortions. Within our working lives, we have had to debate
whether radicals made any con tribution to any pathology, whilst
now it is difficult not to entertain the view that every
physiological process is pivotally controlled by exquisitely
sensitive radical reactions. Inflammation is, of course, an example
of pathology evolving from physiology, and in this book we have
called upon both scientists and clinicians who have research
interests in the complex switching mechanisms that sustain these
transi tions. The book as a whole explores, from a physiological
standpoint, how deter ministic radical systems sensitive to their
initial conditions can interdigitate, iterate and feed back to
control diverse cellular processes that create the inflammatory
response. Whilst systems such as these to a mathematician would
provide the basis for a chaotic response, one is forced to marvel
how, for all stages of an inflammatory reaction, this system
appears exquisitely controlled, making therapeutic manipula tion
both possible and, to some extent, predictable."
This is the second of three volumes in an important collection that
recounts the sweeping history of law in Canada. The period covered
in this volume witnessed both continuity and change in the
relationships among law, society, Indigenous peoples, and white
settlers. The authors explore how law was as important to the
building of a new urban industrial nation as it had been to the
establishment of colonies of agricultural settlement and resource
exploitation. The book addresses the most important developments in
the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, including
legal pluralism and the co-existence of European and Indigenous
law. It pays particular attention to the Metis and the Red River
Resistance, the Indian Act, and the origins and expansion of
residential schools in Canada. The book is divided into four parts:
the law and legal institutions; Indigenous peoples and Dominion
law; capital, labour, and criminal justice; and those less favoured
by the law. A History of Law in Canada examines law as a dynamic
process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the long
term.
A History of Law in Canada is an important three-volume project.
Volume One begins at a time just prior to European contact and
continues to the 1860s, Volume Two covers the half century after
Confederation, and Volume Three covers the period from the
beginning of the First World War to 1982, with a postscript taking
the account to approximately 2000. The history of law includes
substantive law, legal institutions, legal actors, and legal
culture. The authors assume that since 1500 there have been three
legal systems in Canada - the Indigenous, the French, and the
English. At all times, these systems have co-existed and
interacted, with the relative power and influence of each being
more or less dominant in different periods. The history of law
cannot be treated in isolation, and this book examines law as a
dynamic process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the
long term. The law guided and was guided by economic developments,
was influenced and moulded by the nature and trajectory of
political ideas and institutions, and variously exacerbated or
mediated intercultural exchange and conflict. These themes are
apparent in this examination, and through most areas of law
including land settlement and tenure, and family, commercial,
constitutional, and criminal law.
