The conferences on Methods and Applications of Radio analytical Chemistry (MARC) are an established venue for all aspects of this field. In recent years, emphasis on education and nuclear and radiochemistry manpower have become an important conference topic. The MARC VIII Conference, Kona, Hawaii, April 5 - 10, 2009 hosted a panel of nine experts as well as contributed lectures and posters on "Current Status, trends, and Needs in Radiochemical Education: The U.S. and Abroad" to discuss recent progress in the U.S. and abroad and to highlight the needs that still exist. The outcome of the discussions should facilitate the needed growth in the nuclear chemistry and radio chemistry fields.

The second edition of The Oxford Companion to Archaeology is a thoroughly up-to-date resource with new entries exploring the many advances in the field since the first edition published in 1996. In 700 entries, the second edition provides thorough coverage to historical archaeology, the development of archaeology as a field of study, and the way the discipline works to explain the past. In addition to these theoretical entries, other entries describe the major excavations, discoveries, and innovations, from the discovery of the cave paintings at Lascaux to the deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphics and the use of luminescence dating. Recent developments in methods and analytical techniques which have revolutionized the ways excavations are performed are also covered; as well as new areas within archeology, such as cultural tourism; and major new sites which have expanded our understanding of prehistory and human developments through time. In addition to significant expansion, first-edition entries have been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the progress that has been made in the last decade and a half.
