In over 40 chapters fromleading authorities in mutation and evolutionary biology, this booktakes a new look at both the theoretical and experimental measurementand significance of new mutation. Deleterious, nearly neutral,beneficial, and polygenic mutations are considered in their effects onfitness, life history traits, and the composition of the gene pool.Mutation is a phenomenon that draws attention from many differentdisciplines.

Overview: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SERIES The current expansion of both public and scientific interest in environ­ mental issues has not been accompanied by a commensurate production of adequate books, and those which are available are widely variable in approach and depth. The Environmental Management Series has been established with a view to co-ordinating a series of volumes dealing with each topic within the field in some depth. It is hoped that this Series will provide a uniform and quality coverage and that, over a period of years, it will build up to form a library of reference books co

Overview: The past two or three decades have seen many important advances in our knowledge of the chemistry, physics, geology and biology of the oceans. It has also become apparent that in order to understand the manner in which the oceans work as a ‘chemical system‘, it is necessary to use a framework which takes account of these interdisciplinary advances. Marine geochemistry has been written in response to the need for a single state-of-the-art text that addresses the subject of treating the sea water, sediment and rock reservoirs as a unified system. In taking this approach, a process-orie

Overview: The multielement systems have been widely used in many fields of astron­ omy and radio science in the last decades. This is caused by the increasing demands on the resolution and sensitivity of such systems over the wide range of the electromagnetic wavelengths, from gamma up to radio. The ground-based optical and radio interferometers, gamma-ray and X-ray or­ bital telescopes, antenna arrays of radio telescopes and also some other radio devices belong to scientific instruments using multielement systems. There­ fore, the current problems of the optimal construction of such systems,

Overview: Für Unternehmenszusammenschlüsse von Automobilzulieferern findet sich in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Literatur sowie in Branchenanalysen eine Vielzahl von Argumenten. Es stellt sich allerdings die empirisch relevante Frage, ob diese Argumente tragfähig sind, Unternehmenszusammenschlüsse also tatsächlich zum gewünschten Erfolg führen und wovon dieser Erfolg abhängt. Letzteres gilt insbesondere für grenzüberschreitende Zusammenschlüsse, deren Erfolgspotential im betriebswirtschaftlichen Schrifttum kontrovers diskutiert wird...Anhand einer Stichprobe von mehr als 200 zwischen 1981 und
