These proceedings contain 145 papers - 7 plenary lectures and 138 submitted papers selected for oral presentation. The plenary lectures include five overviews of vital research areas by highly respected researchers and two overviews of advances in the science and technology of catalysis made during the last 40 years. The first group explores the forces that drive innovation in catalysis, constrained geometry in metallocene olefin polymerization, characterization and design of oxide surfaces, photocatalysis, and factors required in the molecular design of catalysts. Two others are presented by

This volume presents a selection of the best papers from the 1991 Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages, held in Santa Barbara. In addition, the volume contains revised versions of three of the keynote papers. A welcome aspect of this collection, reflective of the conference itself, is the recurrent incorporation of historical and social factors into explanations of linguistic form.

These papers, deriving from the 7th International Conference on Historical Linguistics (ICHL) in Pavia in 1984, provide an overview of the current status of research in this field. They clearly show that new issues are emerging in the theory of linguistic change which tend to incorporate non-autonomous principles like naturalness in phonetic processes, the influence of socio-cultural settings and discourse pragmatics.

Functional linguistics is concerned with the function of language and considers it an essense of human language. Views like this is not particularly new, but rather traditional in the history of linguistics. But today functional linguistics is constituted by a wide range of theoretical and methodological concerns. What unifies them as functional is the concern with discourse. This is quite natural since language can only function in discourse, not as isolated sentences.This collection of papers reflects some of the major approaches and methodologies in contemporary functional linguistics

In July 1988, a Worldwide Catalysis Seminar was held to mark the 30th anniversary of the Catalysis Society of Japan. After the 9th International Congress on Catalysis in Calgary, about 25 Japanese researchers working on catalysis visited and held seminars in four countries. Each seminar focused on a specific subject, yet also covered a wide range of topics in catalysis, from the fundamental to the industrial stages. This volume, containing the proceedings of this unique event, reflects the successful way in which the seminars provided an opportunity for direct communication and discussion of h

In September of 1976 a group of some fifty scholars and practising mystics gathered at the University of Calgary. The chief objective of the Conference was to ponder and assess the nature of mysticism in its Eastern, Western and North American Indian forms. The method the Conference followed was somewhat unusual in that it aimed at a dialogue between the practising mystics and the scholars. What this book presents to the reader is not the outcome of the dialogue, but the personal statements and papers from which the dialogue began. Of course there is a degree to which the dialogue is already present, in that the papers of the scholars were written with the statements of the mystics in hand. Among some of the philosophers present, a set of more formal comments on each others presentations was recorded and these have been included.

A denominação "geografia" sempre esteve associada a conhecimentos que se individuali zavam por meio da articulação de outros conhecimentos, tendo essa relação de saberes distintos como forte elemento de autoidentificação. A geografia foi, em diferentes momentos e formula ções, pensada como um campo de interrelacionamento de estudos tópicos de variados fenôme nos e processos. Uma área de diálogos e conexões entre teorias díspares. Uma base comum de aproximação de diferenciadas ciências. Enfim, um campo transdisciplinar, avant la lettre. Não raro este intuito integrador esteve identificado com um conceito, entendido como uma realidade material ou como um ângulo de observação da realidade. Em algumas concepções, a "superfície terrestre" fornecia o indicador que delimitava a especificidade do campo disciplinar, conformando uma ciência telúrica. Em outras visões, o "espaço" cumpria tal função, com o nexo entre os fenômenos advindo da sobreposição de suas espacialidades. A "região", a "paisagem", e o "lugar" também foram mobilizados nas tentativas de construção (ontológica ou epistemológica) do objeto geográfico. Em tal percurso - razoavelmente linear enquanto geografia "moderna" - foi se sedimen tando, teórica institucionalmente, uma tradição acadêmica contemporânea. Uma tradição com demarcações cambiantes e fronteiras abertas, marcada por fortes influências extradisciplinares. Nessa dinâmica, corporificam-se geografias singulares, umas com pretensão sintética, outras especializadas. Algumas diretamente d erivadas de debates com disciplinas específicas, outras almejando um patamar universalizante quase filosófico. Umas de marcado caráter empírico, ou tras eminentemente teóricas. Mais que uma eventual "essência" geográfica, a presente coleção visa captar a diversidade e a dinâmica exogâmica que acompanha a história da disciplina. Mapear as geografias e suas adjacências.
