Adding another volume, even if only a slim one, to the technical books already published requires some justification. Mine is, firstly, that plate theory is not well represented in the available elementary texts, and secondly that no existing text adequately covers modern applications.

Special features of interest will I hope be the treatment of geometry of surfaces and the attempts around the end of the work to speculate a little.

More than 20 years after Arthur Lowe, who played the legendary Captain Mainwaring, died in 1982, Dad's Army has become a classic comedy series, is regularly repeated all over the world, and has captured yet another generation of enchanted fans. For this first in-depth biography of Lowe, Graham Lord has followed in his footsteps all over Britain and has interviewed both of his sons and other relatives, as well as dozens of actors, friends, and army comrades, including all of the surviving stars of Dad's Army. The result is a vivid and moving account of one of British television's most beloved comic actors.
This volume is the proceedings from the Swiss Society for Neuropathology XVIIIth International Winter Meeting, held March 23-26, 2000, in St. Moritz, Switzerland. For more than 35 years the Swiss Society of Neuropathology has organised its traditional International Winter Meeting, whose main aim is to bring together neuropathologists and clinicians as well as neuroscientists interested in disease mechanisms. The topic of the 2000 Meeting was Neuropathology and Genetics of Dementia. A programme of invited plenary lectures of high educational value as well as platform and poster presentations given by many participants covered the broad spectrum of dementing disorders. Encouraged by the high standard of the meeting, and probably also influenced by the advent of a new Millennium, it was decided to publish the Proceedings of the 2000 Meeting in the present book.
