Neuware -The Galton-Watson branching process has its roots in the problem of extinction of family names which was given a precise formulation by F. Galton as problem 4001 in the Educational Times (17, 1873). In 1875, an attempt to solve this problem was made by H. W. Watson but as it turned out, his conclusion was incorrect. Half a century later, R. A. Fisher made use of the Galton-Watson process to determine the extinction probability of the progeny of a mutant gene. However, it was J. B. S. Haldane who finally gave the first sketch of the correct conclusion. J. B. S. Haldane also predicted that mathematical genetics might some day develop into a 'respectable branch of applied mathematics' (quoted in M. Kimura & T. Ohta, Theoretical Aspects of Population Genetics. Princeton, 1971). Since the time of Fisher and Haldane, the two fields of branching processes and mathematical genetics have attained a high degree of sophistication but in different directions. This monograph is a first attempt to apply the current state of knowledge concerning single-type branching processes to a particular area of mathematical genetics: neutral evolution. The reader is assumed to be familiar with some of the concepts of probability theory, but no particular knowledge of branching processes is required. Following the advice of an anonymous referee, I have enlarged my original version of the introduction (Chapter Zero) in order to make it accessible to a larger audience.

The entire group, accompanied by a selection of colleagues from other institutions, retreats to a pleasant Scottish location for a few days. Everyone speaks briefly, enhancing coherence, cross fertilisation, and camaraderie in our work. The proceedings of the first workshop were published as a technical report. Demand for this was large enough to encourage wider publication, and subsequent proceedings have been published in the Springer-Verlag Workshops in Computing series. These are the proceedings of the-meeting held 12-14 August 1991, in Portree on the Isle of Skye. A preliminary proceedings was prepared in advance of the meeting. Most presentations were limited to a brief fifteen minutes, outlining the essentials of their subject, and referring the audience to the pre-print proceedings for details. Papers were then refereed and rewritten, and you hold the final results in your hands. A number of themes emerged at this year's workshop, including relational algebra and its application to hardware design, partial evaluation and program transformation, implementation techniques, and strictness analysis. We were especially pleased to see applications of functional programming emerge as a theme. One of the sessions was devoted to a lively discussion of applications, and was greatly enhanced by our industrial participants. The workshop was organised by Kei Davis, Cordelia Hall, Rogardt Heldal, Carsten Kehler Holst, John Hughes, John O'Donnell, and Satnam Singh all from the University of Glasgow.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 376 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This well-known booklet, now in its third, expanded edition, provides an informal survey of applications of singularity theory in a wide range of areas. Although the first few chapters touch briefly (and critically) on theThom-Zeeman catastrophe theory, most of the book is concerned with more recent and less controversial aspects, covering such topics as: bifurcations and stability loss, wavefront propagation, the distribution of matter in the universe, optimization and control problems, visible contours,bypassing an obstacle, symplectic and contact geometry, complex singularities, and the surprising connections between singularities and widely disparate mathematical objects such as regular polyhedra and reflection groups. Readers familiar with the previous editions will find much that is new. Results have been brought up to date, and among the new or expanded topics discussed are delayed loss of stability, cascades of period doublings and triplings, shock waves, implicit differential equationsand folded singularities, interior scattering, and more. Three new sections give an overview of the history of singularity theory and its applications from Leonardo da Vinci to modern times, a discussion of perestroika in terms of the theory of metamorphoses, and a list of 93 problems touching on most of the subject matter in the book. The text is enhanced by fifteen new drawings (there are now 87 in all) and improvements to old ones. The already extensive literature list has been updated and expanded. As a result, the book has been enlarged by almost a third. Arnol'd's goal with this edition remains the same: to explain the essence of the results and applications to readers having a minimal mathematical background. All that he asks, is that the reader have an inquiring mind.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 168 pp. Englisch.

The book is written by two authors who have been working in the field of combinatorial optimization for many years. They give an elementary introduction to the theory of oriented matroids. Their approach clarifies the theoretical basis of Linear Programming and simplifies the proofs of standard results. The book contains numerous figures and the authors have included suggestions for further reading after each chapter.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 224 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The proceedings of the international workshop (May 1991, Darmstadt, Germany) aim to present a large number of various aspects and interrelationships between fractal geometry and computer graphics. The contributions cover a wide spectrum of scientific areas and disciplines involving these two techniques, as well as various industrial applications (theory, computer graphics, modeling and simulation of natural phenomena, picture analysis and classification).Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 280 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This text considers the problem of the dynamic fluid-structure interaction between a finite elastic structure and the acoustic field in an unbounded fluid-filled exterior domain. The exterior acoustic field is modelled through a boundary integral equation over the structure surface. However, the classical boundary integral equation formulations of this problem either have no solutions or do not have unique solutions at certain characteristic frequencies (which depend on the surface geometry) and it is necessary to employ modified boundary integral equation formulations which are valid for all frequencies. The particular approach adopted here involves an arbitrary coupling parameter and the effect that this parameter has on the stability and accuracy of the numerical method used to solve the integral equation is examined. The boundary integral analysis of the exterior acoustic problem is coupled with a finite element analysis of the elastic structure in order to investigate the interaction between the dynamic behaviour of the structure and the associated acoustic field. Recently there has been some controversy over whether or not the coupled problem also suffers from the non-uniqueness problems associated with the classical integral equation formulations of the exterior acoustic problem. This question is resolved by demonstrating that .the solution to the coupled problem is not unique at the characteristic frequencies and that it is necessary to employ an integral equation formulation valid for all frequencies.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 120 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seit Einf}hrung standardisierter Operationstechniken durchdie Arbeitsgemeinschaft f}r Osteosynthese (AO) vor }ber 30Jahren hat die operative Therapie von Frakturen gro~eFortschritte gemacht. Die konservative Behandlung vonExtremit{tenverletzungen ist dadurch in den Hintergrundgedr{ngt worden. Dennoch darf nicht }bersehen werden, da~etwa 50% der Frakturen beim Erwachsenen und }ber 90% derBr}che bei Kindern auch heute noch konservativ behandeltwerden. Die Ausbildung einer ganzen Generation von Chirurgenund Orthop{den hat mit den Anforderungen derkonservativenKnochenbruchbehandlung jedoch nicht mehr Schritt gehalten.Der Erwerb von Kenntnissen der verschiedenenOsteosyntheseverfahren hat die j}ngere Generation weitgehendbeansprucht und L}cken in der Kunst geschlossenerKnochenbruchbehandlung hinterlassen. Ziel dieses Buches istes, eine moderne Standortbestimmung bei der konservativenKnochenbruchbehandlung von Extremit{tenverletzungen, aberauch der Verletzungen der Wirbels{ule und desBeckens aufzuzeigen. International f}hrende Unfallchirurgenmit besonderen Erfahrungen im Bereichder geschlossenenKnochenbruchbehandlung haben dazu ihre Beitr{ge anl{~lichdes IX. M}nchener Innenstadt-Symposiums vom 11.-14. Oktober1990 geliefert. Gerade vor dem Hintergrund einer imdeutschsprachigen Raum forcierten operativenFrakturbehandlung konnten die konservativenBehandlungskonzepte aus dem angels{chsischen undskandinavischen Sprachraum und die Schule von Lorenz B|hlerinteressante Gegens{tze aufzeigen. Insgesamt erzielen allepublizierten Vortr{ge jedoch eine Synthese, welche dasPendel nichtzu sehr auf eine Seite ausschlagen l{~t. F}rdie j}ngere Generation der Chirurgenund Orthop{den sindsicherlich interessante Behandlungsergebnisse einererstaunlich wirkungsvollen konservativenKnochenbruchbehandlung aufgezeigt worden.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 256 pp. Deutsch.
