This volume presents a selection of review papers from the International Symposium, Polymer Surface and Interfaces III held in Durham in July 1997. The papers cover a broad spectrum of surface science techniques and related applications and will appeal to all polymer and surface scientists, chemists, physicists and biologists in academia and industry.

Reviews of Volumes I and II ‘The editors and the individual authors are to be congratulated for producing a book of a uniformly high standard…can be unreservedly recommended to chemists and materials scientists…’—Polymer ‘Altogether a most useful addition to polymer science’—Physics Bulletin ‘The topics illustrate extremely well the wide variety of surface and interfacial aspects of polymer science’—Endeavour ‘A useful introduction to several aspects of polymeric interfaces’—Trends in Polymer Science

Since it was founded in 1930, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has helped to develop health initiatives based on the premise that if given the tools, individuals, institutions, and communities will make changes for the better. As a reflection of that philosophy, the Kellogg Foundation funded the Community Partnerships with Health Professions Education initiative to seek new approaches to educating primary care practitioners by linking universities and communities. Building Partnerships is the first book to report on this five-year initiative. Written in accessible language, the book is filled with real-life stories and situations that suggest the scope and variety of the partnerships and the diversity of the people who are creating them. By illuminating the Community Partnerships model, Building Partnerships suggests ways community members, academe, and policy makers at multiple levels can lead educational reform in health professions education.

This volume contains the major portion of the material given at the NATO Advanced Study Institute, held at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK., September 6th-18th, 1981. The original idea germin ated in a conversation between the organisers on a cold December night in 1978 in the depths of the Oxfordshire countryside. At that time we felt that the chemical physics of macromolecules in the solid state was running on two parallel tracks, namely structure and dynamics. The contact between the two appeared to be slight. We were also concerned that the degree of srecial knowledge now required for any one technique essentially prevented people from learning the important features of other investigation methods. Consequently, we have attempted to bring together leading authorities on both structural and dynamic properties of solid polymers in the hope that the combination of both types of discussion will be synergistic. The choice of main subjects is our own and we are aware that some areas have been omitted. HOvlever, to be comprehensive would have made an already large volume enormous. Y'Je therefore chose to concentrate on what were, in our opinion, the major areas. Nonetheless, it is apparent that much ori inal material appears here, especially in those contri butions which are more theoretical in concent, the full experimental iMnlications of which have yet to be investigated."
