"Assassins against the Old Order delves into the history of Italian anarchist violence and sets out to understand the causes and general conditions that led to it. Despite a proliferation of new studies on anarchism, anarchist violence and its main school of thought--"propaganda of the deed"-- remain generally understudied and misunderstood. Misconceptions about anarchism in general, and anarchist violence in particular, have dominated public discourses and popular culture from its inception. Anarchists were quickly and conveniently branded as a "demonic menace to society" - a view that was reinforced by the period's pseudo-scientific criminologist theories as well as sensationalist accounts of the fin-de-siècle political assassinations which were framed as part of a presumed terrorist anarchist conspiracy to overthrow the established order. This book provides a cutting-edge synthesis of the intellectual origins, milieu and nature of Italian anarchist violence as well as a fascinating portrait of its major players"--

Based on case studies spanning time and geography from the Spanish to the Nigerian civil wars, to government repression in Argentina, genocidal policies in Guatemala and Rwanda and on to forced population removal in Australia and Israel, this collection represents a focused attempt to come to grips with some of the strategies used to express traumatic memory work. Together, the essays constitute a kaleidoscope of new approaches to show how such performances of memory contribute to transitional justice efforts, demonstrating the complexities of striving for justice and reconciliation through the public expression of shared memories of violence

Library developments since the Biomedical Library's establishment in 1951 are discussed, including the province-wide B.C. Medical Library Service and the recent activities of Canadian medical school librarians. The recommendations about medical libraries, which were submitted by the Committee of the Medical Science Libraries, C.L.A.-A.C.B., in its Brief to the Canadian Government's Royal Commission on Health Services, are listed. There is some discussion of the Survey report of the twelve medical school libraries which has been prepared for the Royal Commission's Special Committee on Medical Education, the outcome of which will not be known until midsummer 1963.

Osteoporosis is a global problem which will increase in significance as the population of the world both increases and ages. This report looks at how the demographic changes in different countries of the world will be reflected in the incidence and cost of osteoporotic disease. Comparisons are made between the data collected by the European Union's Report on Osteoporosis in the European Community, issued in June 1998, and some of the data available from other parts of the world. The importance of prevention, early detection and appropriate treatment is stressed, as well as the need for national health services to provide reimbursement of the costs of prevention, diagnosis and treatment for high-risk groups.

The Safe Passages project is a collaborationbetween scientists at UC Davis and nongovernmentalconservation organizations(Defenders of Wildlife, Conservation BiologyInstitute, and South Coast Wildlands), inconsultation with state agencies (CaliforniaDepartments of Transportation and Fish andGame), and is intended to encourage theinclusion of habitat connectivity planning andprotection in local and regional planning insupport of the State Wildlife Action Plan. It wasdesigned to be a model effort, with relevance toregions struggling with finding ways to conservewildlife and natural processes in the face ofdevelopment. One major ecological process atrisk is isolation of wildlife populations andreduction of the permeability of the landscapeto wildlife movement. The project draws uponcontemporary scientific understanding ofwildlife movement, physical connections onlandscapes, and land‐use and transportationplanning in order to better fit developmentpatterns to the needs of natural processes,especially wildlife movement.As its name implies, the projectaddresses the need for finding safe passage forwildlife movement through the diverse regionsof California. Two philosophical choices weremade in designing this project: 1) wildlifemovement is not limited to managed reservesand corridors, but may also occur in the nonnaturallandscape matrix, and 2) that local andregional planners can become aware of and beincluded in the process of conservingconnectivity. In the first case, the computermodeling that was done in this project wasbased on the idea that wildlife might originatetheir movement from anywhere and move inthe least‐costly direction. This results in asurface of possible wildlife movement based onhabitat preference and barriers to safe passage.In the second case, planners in the San JoaquinValley Blueprint process learned of our overallproject goals and methods and a number ofcities or counties expressed interest in workingwith us. We chose the city of Riverbank, in partbecause the community development directorshowed clear interest in using the products ofour work in the General Planning and SpecificPlanning processes.This project has evolved to includemore ideas and potential partners, including theCalifornia Department of Fish and Game (DFG),the Local Government Commission, and otheracademic researchers. This evolution hasextended our project horizon indefinitely with acombination of a DFG contract andcollaborative proposal development. Howeverthe main project goal of setting the standard forhow connectivity can be included in local andregional planning has stayed constant. Ourpartners will help us develop a sea change inthe recognition and protection of safe passagesfor wildlife movement throughout California'sSan Joaquin Valley and beyond.
