Many books already exist on computer-aided design and manufacture most of which are dedicated to describing the complexities of mathematical modelling and its application to industrial problems.

The importance of CAD to electronics technology Computer-aided design (CAD) is one way of coping with the problem of how to design and build very complex systems. Designers of CAD systems are concerned with formalizing and automating as much of the design task as possible.

This collection of papers stems originally from a conference on Property Theory, Type Theory and Semantics held in Amherst on March 13-16 1986. Two of the papers in the present collection (van Benthem in volume 1 and Chierchia in volume II) were not actually read at the conference.

The paperspublished in thiswork have evolved substantially since their original presentation at the conference. Given their scope, we thought it convenient to divide the work into two volumes.The first deals primarily withlogicaland philosophical foundations, the second with more empirical semantic issues.Whilethere isa common set of issuestyingthetwovolumestogether, theyareboth self-containedand canbereadindependentlyofoneanother. Twoofthepapersinthepresentcollection(vanBentheminvolume Iand ChierchiainvolumeII)werenotactuallyread attheconference. They are nevertheless included here for their direct relevance to the topicsofthevolumes. Regrettably, some of the papers that were presented (Feferman, Klein,and Plotkin) could not be included in the presentwork due to timingproblems.

In the case of b the first two features get the value +, the third (nasal) gets the value -. bilabial: + voiced: + I nasal: - [Feature matrix for b.] In syntax features are used, for example, to distinguish different noun classes. Besides a matrix representation one frequently fmds a graph representation for feature value pairs.

This monograph grew out of research at Xerox PARC and the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) during the first year of CSLI's existence.

The terrible power and significance attributed to maternal behavior (in particular) is a commonsense perception based on the observation that the human infant (specialized as it is for prematurity and prolonged dependency) simply cannot survive for very long without considerable maternal love and care.

1m zehnten Buch des zweiten Teils von 'Dichtung und Wahrheit' berichtet Goethe, wie Herder wahrend ihres Aufenthaltes im ElsaB den 'Landpriester von Wakefield'! vorgelesen habe. Die Bekanntschaft mit dem Werk Gold­ smiths veranlaBt Goethe zu folgender Betrachtung: Ein protestantischer Landgeistlicher ist vielleicht der schonste Gegenstand einer modernen IdyIle; er erscheint, wie Melchisedek, als Priester und Konig in einer Person. An den unschuldigsten Zustand, der sich auf Erden denken liiBt, an den des Ackermanns, ist er meistens durch gleiche Beschiiftigung sowie durch gleiche Familienverhiiltnisse gekniipft; er ist Vater, Hausherr, Landmann und so voll­ kommen ein GIied der Gemeine. Auf diesem reinen, schonen, irdischen Grunde rubt sein hoherer Beruf; ihm ist iibergeben, die Menschen ins Leben zu fUhren, fUr ihre geistige Erziehung zu sorgen, sie bei allen Hauptepochen ihres Daseins zu segnen, sie zu belehren, zu kriiftigen, Zll trosten, und wenn der Trost fUr die Gegenwart nicht ausreicht, die Hoffnung einer gliicklicheren Zukunft heranzurufen und Zll verbiirgen. Denke man sich einen solchen Mann, met rein menschIichen Gesinnungen, stark genug, urn unter keinen Umstiinden davon zu weichen, und schon dadurch iiber die Menge erhaben, von der man Reinheit und Festigkeit nicht erwarten kann; gebe man ihm die zu seinem Amte notigen Kenntnisse sowie eine heitere gleiche Tiitigkeit, welche sogar leidenschaftIich ist, indem sie keinen Augen­ bIick versiiumt das Gute zu wirken - und man wird ihn wohl ausgestattet haben.

The first main part starts with a discussion of the general notions underlying the theory of the development of demand for new consumer durable goods and next describes the many models known from the literature, using these general notions.

In the last few years the interest in the behavior and possible function of trace elements in biological systems has strongly increased.

When in 1 980 I wrote the foreword to The Art of Roya//cing I wished my friend Audrey Holding every success for her book; I hope to go one stage further and expand the ideas and techniques formulated in The Art of Royal Icing.

When asked by students of medicine to name a reliable, readable and adequately comprehensive text book of clinical paediatrics we have, in the past, been forced to recommend the least unsatisfactory among the large number of not quite good enough books on the market.

As this difficult genus was never before monographed, a revisional study was much needed. The data presented are mainly based on the study of herbarium specimens and in some cases of living ones. The picture was completed, as far as possible, with data from various literature sources. A short survey is given of the taxonomic history of Origanum, which goes back as far as Linnaeus, and shows that genus and species concepts of various authors have much differed. A morphological outline of Origanum is given, from which it can be concluded that most generic characters are rather variable. Origanum is characterized in the following ways. Medium sized, subshrubby Labiatae, rich in volatile oils, with subsessile, ovate, glandular punctate leaves and paniculate inflorescences; few flo­ wered verticillasters arranged in (dense) spikes with distinct, often coloured, bracts; calyces variable: 5-toothed, subregular or 2-lipped or I-lipped, with developed or reduced teeth; corollas 2-lipped, sometimes saccate or flattened.
