From 1985 to 1991, one of the great political dramas of the twentieth century unfolded in Russia. Although it began as an effort at reform from above, the process of transformation was snatched from its initiators and became a revolution. Unlike the revolution of three-quarters of a century past, the new Russian revolution featured no vanguard party and no armed insurgency, and was not made in the name of a class or a single identifiable program or principle. Unlike many other revolutions, it was not fought to craft nationhood or to recapture lost national sovereignty. It was a popular, democratic revolution, but it differed from cases of “redemocratization” experienced in many other countries in recent decades. It was a revolution of a different type, waged by unlikely revolutionaries. The rebellion of most of its heroes did not predate the onset of the revolution itself.

It is tempting to refer to (commutative) S-algebras as (commutative) ring spectra. However, this would introduce confusion since the term "ring spectrum" has had a definite meaning for thirty years as a stable homotopy category level notion. Ring spectra in the classical homotopical sense are not rendered obsolete by our theory since there are many examples that admit no S-algebra structure. In any case, the term S-algebra more accurately describes our new concept. With our theory, and the new possibilities that it opens up, it becomes vitally important to keep track of when one is working on the point-set level and when one is working up to homotopy. In the absence (or ignorance) of a good point-set level category of spectra, topologists have tended to be sloppy about this.

Environmental Toxicology is a welcome addition to the Cambridge University Press Environmental Chemistry Series. The inclusion of a textbook on toxicology in a series devoted to environmental chemistry might, at first glance, appear surprising. However, as will become evident to the reader, the authors have approached their topic in a truly interdisciplinary manner, with environmental chemistry playing a prominent role in their analysis. Environmental toxicology is a young and dynamic science, as pointed out by the authors in their welcome historical perspective of its development over the past 30+ years. One of the inevitable consequences of the rapid evolution of this area of science has been the scarcity of useful textbooks. Several multiauthored books have appeared in recent years, usually consisting of specialised chapters written by researchers familiar with a specific area of environmental toxicology.

A global catastrophic risk is one with the potential to wreak death and destruction on a global scale. In human history, wars and plagues have done so on more than one occasion, and misguided ideologies and totalitarian regimes have darkened an entire era or a region. Advances in technology are adding dangers of a new kind. It could happen again. In Global Catastrophic Risks, 26 leading experts look at the gravest risks facing humanity in the 21st century, including natural catastrophes, nuclear war, terrorism, global warming, biological weapons, totalitarianism, advanced nanotechnology, general artificial intelligence, and social collapse. The book also addresses over-arching issues--policy responses and methods for predicting and managing catastrophes. This is invaluable reading for anyone interested in the big issues of our time; for students focusing on science, society, technology, and public policy; and for academics, policy-makers, and professionals working in these acutely important fields.

$700 Billion Bailout is an analysis of the controversial Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and explains in easy to understand language what the bailout bill means for individuals. The bill, described as the $700 billion bailout . . . and $110 billion in tax breaks, will include tax breaks shielding millions of taxpayers from the alternative minimum tax this year, increase FDIC insurance for bank deposits from $100,000 to $250,000, and provide support for Wall Street's floundering financial institutions. But what does this truly mean for people on Main Street?

This IUTAM Symposium concerned an important domain of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics nowadays. It focused on the problem of flow separation and of its control. It achieved a unified approach regrouping the knowledge provided from theoretical, experimental, numerical simulation and modelling aspects for unsteady separated flows (incompressible and compressible regimes) and included efficient control devices to achieve attenuation or suppression of separation. The subject areas covered important themes in the domain of fundamental research as well as in the domain of applications. These themes received a great deal of impetus from international research groups, including research Institutes and industrial companies especially in Aeronautics in various countries and associating leading Government Programs.

Iт 1934, Joseph A. Brandt, then editor of the University of Oklahoma Press, asked me to write a work that would explain in simple terms the devaluation of the dollar that had just occurred and the events that made this devaluation necessary. It was evident that an explanation of these happenings could not be reached through any of the monetary theories then current, all of them in eclipse with the collapse of the economic structure following the Great Crash of the stock market in 1929. A deeper examination was necessary, one that went to the nature of man's experience with money. A survey of this experience was indicated. What wisdom did the records offer?

During the last two decades major changes have been taking place in worldwide coffee production. The most significant of these changes has been the massive increase in the quantities produced. ICO statistics show consistently increasing production levels particularly over the last 15 years reaching a record level of 120 million GO kg bags in 2002. Over the same period there has been a significant decrease in the average price paid for coffee on world markets which fell to USD cents 47 per pound in 2002 compared to 120 cents in the 1980s. The basic cause of the decline in coffee prices has been one of oversupply with the increase in coffee production in recent years outstripping demand by several percentage points. There has been a steady accumulation of large stocks of coffee, particularly in importing countries, which have put additional downward pressure on coffee prices. Thus in recent times many coffee producing countries have seen a catastrophic decline in export earnings despite increasing production, and the incomes of many coffee farmers have been reduced to the point at which they are struggling to survive. The impact on the finances of millions of small farmers in lesser developed countries has reached crisis proportions.
