Marketing communications is a subject which has become popular in both marketing and public relations circles, but sometimes with different parameters.

When failures occur, they are due in part either to inferior properties (resulting from poor design or badly controlled processing), or to an incomplete understanding of the properties and applications of plastics materials.

In the preface to the first edition ofthis book, we expressed a conviction that there was a need for a short book that highlighted important advances in the new discipline of plant molecular biology.

During the past decade there has been a dramatic change in the nature of mobile communications technology and its impact on the general communic ations environment.

Mammalian sociobiology is a rapidly advancing field which has made enormous strides in the last ten years. While I am fully aware that human beings are mammals, any detailed consideration of human social behaviour lies outside the scope of this book.

In the last decade interest in this aspect of microbiology has developed greatly, and research findings have provided an understanding of the genetic, molecular and biochemical bases of development.

THIS BOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR AN up-to-date compact book on cell organelles that transmits the excitement and challenge of modern subcellular biology.

Earth structures engineering involves the analysis, design and construction of structures, such as slopes and dams, that are composed mainly of earth materials, and this is a growth area in geotechnical engineering practice.

It is now 17 years since the junior author's book Parasitic protozoa was first published, and 13 years since it received limited revision. This book can be regarded as an evolutionary descendant of the earlier "Parasitic protozoa", referred to above, extensively revised and much more fully illustrated.

The answers to such questions give an insight into the lives of the plants and animals of the shore and are one of the first steps in an understand ing of the complexity of the shore environment.

For a number of years I have found myself teaching various groups of students about cell locomotion and cell behaviour: sometimes science students specializing in cell or molecular biology, sometimes immunologists or pathologists who only wanted a broad background introduction.

is everything that means anything to you - all of history and music and poetry and art and death and birth and love, tears, joy, games, all of it on that little Historical roots of biogeography spot out there that you can cover with your thumb.

This short text is designed to provide basic information about plant and microbial lipids not only for scientists working in the microbiological and plant fields, but for anyone wanting a concise introduction to this aspect of lipid biochemistry.

This book is about metamorphic rocks: the processes involved in their formation and the reasons why they occur at particular places on the continents.

Chapter 1 is concerned with the development of ideas about the shape, size and mass of the Earth, which led to broad concepts about the Earth's structure and finally to a model of a cooling, contracting Earth, capable of explaining geological history and the major topographic features of the Earth.

My book Metamorphic Rocks and Metamorphic Belts (in Japanese) was published by Iwanami Shoten, Publishers, in Tokyo in 1965. Thus, translation accompanied by rewriting of substantial parts of the book was made in subsequent years, resulting in the present book Metamorphism and Metamorphic Belts.

Rutley's elements of mineralogy has been around for a long time, certainly throughout my own lifetime; Read first took over the authorship, and thereafter in 1936 and in 1965 when the last major changes occurred. Comments sought prior to the revision revealed considerable disagreement about the role of blowpipe analyses in the book.

Life has shaped the Earth, and the Earth has moulded the history of life. The history of life on Earth is held in the geological record, which is composed of the rocks, water and air that are available for study on the planet's surface.

Landscapes viewed from afar have a timeless quality that is soothing to the human spirit. Much of this change destroys past landscapes, but at some times and places, landscapes are buried in the rock record.

The following four chapters provide solutions of Maxwell's equations for the propagation of electro magnetic waves in free space, in dielectrics, across interfaces and in conductors respectively.

On the one hand the classical explanation is in terms of classical concepts: electric charge q, electric and magnetic fields (E and B) and electric currents. Although this text is primarily concerned with classical explanations in a logical, self-consistent sequence, they are related to microscopic (quantum) explanations at each stage.

LINEAR equations play an important part, not only in mathe matics itself, but also in many fields in which mathematics is used. The actual pro cess of setting up the equations and of interpreting the solution is one which more properly belongs to that field, and in any case is a problem of a different nature altogether.

I have tried to provide an introduction, at an elementary level, to some of the important topics in real analysis, without avoiding reference to the central role which the completeness of the real numbers plays throughout.

The aim of this book is to give an elementary treatment of multiple integrals. The notions of integrals extended over a curve, a plane region, a surface and a solid are introduced in tum, and methods for evaluating these integrals are presented in detail.

Complex numbers, like other kinds of numbers, are essen tially objects with which to perform calculations a:cording to certain rules, and when this principle is borne in mind, the nature of complex numbers is no more mysterious than that of the more familiar types of numbers.
