This book is principally concerned with the relatively complex small molecules produced by plants, which are important as drugs, fine chemicals, fragrances, flavours and biologically-active dietary constituents. In a wide-ranging series of thematic essays, it covers key aspects of their role in plant ecology, their metabolism in the plant, their discovery, characterisation and use and their significance in the diet. Biotechnology, including prospects for the genetic engineering of metabolic pathways, for biotransformations and also for the production of biologically-active proteins, is the focus of the final section of the book. The overall aim of the volume is to provide, in each of the selected subject areas, a personal critique which is readily accessible to the advanced undergraduate student and to the non-specialist research worker alike.
An aid for reseaching non-western cultures, the Bibliographic Guide to East Asian Studies covers Japan, China, North and South Korea, Honk Kong, and Taiwan, with approximately 3,500 listings from LC MARC tapes and the Oriental Division of The New York Public Library. It includes publications about East Asia; materials published in any of the relevant countries; and publications in the Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. Listings are transcribed into Anglicised characters. Each entry provides complete bibliographic information, along with the NYPL and/or LC call numbers.
This proceedings contains up-to-date reviews on heavy ion physics CP violation, effective lagrangians, experimental techniques, charm hadron production, the physics of electron-proton collisions, and Tevatron physics. A number of short seminars give an overview of the state of the art in particle physics reaching from experimental to phenomenological and theoretical physics.

The proceedings covers recent developments in the field of high energy physics, ranging from current topics, such as cp-violation, hadron physics, and neutrino phenomena to the search for new particles and symmetries, like the Higgs boson, supersymmetry, experimental and theoretical seminars on particle physics.
These proceedings contains articles on the most recent progress in particle and astroparticle physics. Topics such as physics, neutrino physics, dark matter, accelerator physics, and field theory among others are covered through the contribution of different authors. This book contains the contributions to the XI Workshop on particles and fields, a meeting that has been organized periodically for more than 20 years.
