Overview: Our pocket-book has come about as a direct attempt to answer the needs of our clinical students. We have tried to use radiology as a magic window for looking at their patients‘ medical and surgical problems. The book is very simple and highly selective.

Overview: The International Scientific Spring Meeting of the Astronomische Ge­ sellschaft (AG) held at Bamberg in April 1991 was devoted to "Vari­ abilities in Stars and Galaxies". Time-dependent phenomena are observed in a wide range of as­ tronomical objects. They are caused by different physical mechanisms (for example by pulsation, by accretion, or by dramatic eruptive events in connection with mass outflow) producing observable intensity vari­ ations through all wavelengths. Many of the papers in this volume are concerned with galactic stars showing such behaviour (for ex­ ample cataclysm

This cooperation has, at times, been fragile and has not prevented some obvious and deep-seated disagreements. It has, however, survived. Indeed, Russia and Europe have incre
