Defenders of globalization, free markets, and free trade insist there’s no alternative to mega-stores like Wal-Mart -- Michael Shuman begs to differ. In "The Small-Mart Revolution, Shuman makes a compelling case for his alternative business model, one in which communities reap the benefits of "going local" in four key spending categories: goods, services, energy, and finance.

Taken from a poem by Niyi Osundare, "Atlantic Cross Currents/Transatlantiques" was the theme of the 1993 meeting of the African Literature Association which was held in Guadeloupe. This term suggested the movement of people, languages, cultures, and ideas, all of the themes that should be highlighted in the ALA’s first meeting in the Caribbean.

The switched-current technique is a new signal processing technique for processing analogue-sampled data in electronic integrated circuits. The technique, which uses digital technology to process analogue data, has been pioneered in Europe and is now raising major interest worldwide. This was the first book to be devoted to this development, and has been produced and published extremely rapidly to coincide with a major tutorial meeting on this subject in the USA. The 23 contributions are from renowned international specialists. Editors C Toumazou and JB Hughes both won international prizes in
