Overview: Since the end of the second world war special international interest has been devoted to the economically‘ underdeveloped countries. The question is, in what way can the welfare of these societies be rapidly increased and their standard of living raised.

Much fruitful work has already been done in this field, an

Overview: In recent years, papillomaviruses in general and human papillo­ maviruses in particular have been recognized as possible agents of important diseases, including some forms of human cancer. The purpose of this book is to present a concise panorama of the pre­ sent status of knowledge of this topic. This knowledge is as impor­ tant to molecular biologists and virologists as it is to clinicians and pathologists. To bridge the gap among these diverse groups of investigators, we conceived of a book covering a broad spectrum of the basic scientific, clinical, and pathological aspects of di

Overview: Polizei und Gesellschaft.Einblicke in die sozialen und kulturellen Zusammenhänge.Interdisziplinär besetzter Sammelband​Darstellungen der Polizei in der Polizeiforschung gleichen häufig den Schilderungen der sprichwörtlichen blinden Männer, die einen Elefanten untersuchen und dabei jeweils etwas völlig Unterschiedliches beschreiben. Eine dominierende und leitende Fragestellung dabei ist meist, ob sich die empirischen Ergebnisse mit als ideal definierten Vorstellungen von der Polizei decken oder nicht. Für die sich hier auftuende Kluft werden dann jeweils Erklärungen gesucht. Die Beitr
