Agriculture in Crisis
Indonesia's monetary and political crisis is examined here in relation to its impact on Indonesia's agricultural sector.
Should Global Agriculture be Liberalized?
According to standard economic theory and modelling, liberalizing agriculture will result in important welfare gains. Because of price volatility, an alternative model, based in general disequilibrium in the Wicksellian tradition, provides much less optimistic conclusions, actually supported by the recent evolution of the world agricultural system, as well as by the history of the many attempts of agricultural trade liberalization since the 18th century.

Transactions of the International Astronomical Union
IAU Transactions XXIIB summarizes the work of the XXIInd General Assembly. The discourses given during the Inaugural and Closing Ceremonies are reproduced in Chapters I and III, respectively. The proceedings of the two sessions of the General Assembly will be found in Chapter II, which includes the Resolutions and the report of the Finance Committee. The Statutes, Bye-Laws and a few working rules of the Union are published in Chapter IV. The Accounts and other aspects of the administration of the Union are recorded in Chapter V, together with the report of the Executive Committee for this last triennium, and provide the permanent record for the Union in the period 1991-1994. This volume also contains the Commission reports from The Hague compiled by the Presidents of the Commissions (Chapter VI). Finally, Chapter VII contains the list of countries adhering to the Union and the alphabetical, geographical and commission membership lists of about 8000 individual members. The IAU still appears to be unique among the scientific Unions in maintaining this category of individual membership which contributes in a crucial way to the spirit and the aims of the Union.
Douleurs rhumatologiques en pratique quotidienne
La douleur rhumatologique est un des cinq premiers motifs de consultation chez le médecin généraliste. Il était donc essentiel que la collection « Douleurs en pratique quotidienne » fasse le point sur l’état actuel des connaissances sur l’ensemble des douleurs rhumatologiques et des avancées quant à leur traitement. Les auteurs ont eu à cœur de concevoir un ouvrage pragmatique, proposant systématiquement conduites à tenir et algorithmes décisionnels qui seront très utiles aux praticiens. Chaque chapitre présente une situation clinique fréquente et en récapitule la physiopathologie, le diagnostic et la prise en charge thérapeutique, quelle soit médicamenteuse ou non. Les auteurs, rhumatologues et spécialistes de la douleur, se sont attachés à rendre accessibles leurs connaissances et à s’appuyer sur leur expérience de terrain afin de proposer un ouvrage pédagogique adapté à la pratique quotidienne. Cet ouvrage est édité en collaboration avec le Cercle d’Étude de la Douleur en Rhumatologie.
Cancer and the Politics of Care
This timely volume responds to the epic impacts of cancer as a global phenomenon. Through the fine-grained lens of ethnography, the contributors present new thinking on how social, economic, race, gender and other structural inequalities intersect, compound and complicate health inequalities. Cancer experiences and impacts are explored across eleven countries: Argentina, Brazil, Denmark, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Senegal, the United Kingdom and the United States. The volume engages with specific cancers from the point of primary prevention, to screening, diagnosis, treatment (or its absence), and end-of-life care. Cancer and the Politics of Care traverses new theoretical terra...

The Lost Upland
In The Lost Upland, W. S. Merwin vividly conveys his intimate knowledge of the people and the countryside in this ancient part of France (home of the Lascaux caves). In three narratives of small–town life, Merwin shows with matchless poetic and narrative power how the past is still palpably present. On its original publication in 1992 Jane Kramer wrote, "These stories are a gift from one of the great poets of the English language, a chronicle of the heart–stopping seasons of one small corner of La France Profonde and of its stubborn and illusive characters. Merwin's French peasants are a force of nature, like the blackberry brambles that used to choke his garden, and he cultivates them both with that attentive, exacting, and relentlessly patient genius that great poets and great gardeners share. This is, simply, the most beautiful writing about France I know."
