Overview: This volume contains the lectures presented at an Advanced Study Institute on "Magnetic Resonance Techniques in Fossil Energy Problems," which was held at the village of Maleme, Crete, in July of 1983. As of this writing, a different popular attitude prevails from that when the ASI was proposed as far as how critical the world energy picture is. In the popular press, a panglossian attitude (the "petroleum glut" of the 80‘s) has replaced the jeremiads of the 70‘s ( a catastrophic "energy crisis"). Yet, there are certain important constants: (a) for the foreseeable future, fossil energ

Overview: After an opening chapter on Muriel Spark‘s life and career and a chapter on the distinctive problems of reading a novel by Muriel Spark, the book offers an account of the work of this novelist from The Comforters (1957) to A Far Cry from Kensington (1988). This new study makes an attempt to define the idiosyncratic and sometimes unsettling qualities of one of the most important and interesting English writers of the past thirty years. ‘...Norman Page has done both Muriel Spark and her readers a great service: he has taken her seriously.‘ Judy Spoxton ‘...a revential and judicious ess

Overview: This is a book that grew out of frustration. The frustration was rooted in our failed attempts to help people modify health-related behavior. From a behavioral medicine perspective, it was readily apparent to us that there were many things people could do to improve their health. Some of these were preventive behaviors, whereas others were much more therapeutic or rehabilitative in nature. Put another way, there were specific well-known behavioral strategies that people could use to maintain or regain their good health. Yet despite our good intentions, enthusiasm, and considerable ef

Overview: It is an established fact that we must continually increase and improve agricultural production if we are to meet even the minimum requirements of a growing popu­ lation for food, shelter, and fuel. In recent years, the introduction of new plant varieties and the extensive use of fertilizers have effectively increased crop yields, but intensifying agricultural methods has often led to depleting soil fertility. Two examples of the harmful consequences of intensive farming practices are the loss of up to 2.5 cm of topsoil every 15 years in the United States through erosion and the alar

Overview: It is the purpose of these essays to commemorate the one hundredth birthday of the philosopher Max Scheler. On this centennial occasion it may be appropriate to recall the first two major works of the philosopher‘s life. Scheler is known mostly as the author of a monumental work on ethics, entitled: Der Formalismus in der Ethik und die materiale Wertethik (Formalism in Ethics and Non-Formal Ethics of Values), which is the only existing foundation of ethics written by a European philosopher in this century. Although its two parts were published separately (1913/1916) because of circum
