How many items can you think of that are made of plastic? It's seemingly everywhere. It might be difficult to imagine a world without plastic, but until about 100 years ago, plastic as we know it today didn't exist. The word "plastic" wasn't even used until the 1920s. Readers will learn how many types of plastic were invented accidentally by scientists who were trying to make something else. Accessible, fun content describes how these discoveries were made and how they would go on to change the world in ways both big and small.

The seventy-seven poems that form Meta KuA'ar's "Ljubljana" pay complex homage to her home city, the Slovenian capital. Although her vision of Ljubljana begins with places, buildings, bridges - the city the visitor sees - the poet very soon takes us to the insider's Ljubljana, a personal space alive with associations and images, rich with references. As she senses the depths and inter-connections under the city's skin, the city becomes a place of mind and memory, almost an extension of her body. At the same time, KuA'ar leads us into a wider meditation on the links between who and where we are, and between present experience and cultural heritage. In this beautifully modulated translation, and with introductory material that guides us through unfamiliar territory, the English-language reader can savour and enjoy the work of one of Slovenia's most individualistic and highly-regarded poets for the first time.

¬¬Our title, "Big Booze is Slowly, Softly, Killing Women," reflects a theme of the book. We assert that the alcohol beverage industries are actively, knowingly promoting unhealthy products. Although these products when taken in moderate amounts are not particularly toxic, they are more toxic to women than men. This book details why that is the case. Recently, Big Booze has begun marketing practices that are clearly designed to encourage young women to buy more of their products. They do this knowing that enhanced intake of their beverages is likely to harm women. This situation can be grave. Intake of products like dessert-flavored alcoholic beverages encourages more intake than is healthy. Excessive intake can clearly lead to serious diseases that might be fatal. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that Big Booze is Slowly, Softly engaging in practices that new data indicates induce serious disease, even fatal disease. For example, for the first time in history, numbers of women in their second and third decade of life are dying of cirrhosis of the liver induced by alcoholic beverages. There was a time in America when it was socially unacceptable for women to drink alcoholic beverages and surely unacceptable for them to appear drunk. Now, it is clearly more acceptable for women to drink, appear tipsy, and have fun enhanced by alcohol. It is now a mark of social sophistication for women to be avid consumers of alcoholic beverages. The book details how it has come to pass that over the years there has been this marked change in the society. This new acceptability has been the product of careful, scientifically derived advertisements and public relations by Big Booze. Further, these new marketing techniques are specifically designed to encourage young women to drink and to continue to buy Big Booze's products. Consequently, we now have more young women who are drinking more and more and becoming alcoholics. Given that those who have developed an addiction to alcoholic beverage have a marked propensity to consume large amounts of those beverages for long periods, the result is a wide array of diseases including liver disease and reduced cognitive functioning. The net effect of large proportions of the adult female population drinking excessively is that more mothers and grandmothers are less capable of performing the same valuable contributions to societies as their mothers and grandmothers did.

Revision with unchanged content. The 1990s were in many ways the Balkan decade, as the break-up of Yugoslavia returned the Balkans to the center of Western consciousness. While journalism has been the most important channel of constructing a perception of the war, this perception has also been based on films that deal with the conflict. The body of film productions about the Balkan conflict is a truly international project which engaged a large international community of filmmakers; still, most features come from the countries of former Yugoslavia: Before the Rain (1994); Underground (1995); Pretty Village, Pretty Flame (1996); Perfect Circle (1997); Powder Keg (1998); No Man's Land (2001), to name only a few. It is these films that have created in the West a sustained perception about the Balkans and in the process have constructed a complex perspective on Balkan nationalism. This study explores how Balkan nationalism, already a tainted and ambiguous, took a different shape in the post 1990s Balkan cinema, which critically intervened into both the discourse of Balkanism and internal calls for nationalism. Opening up key questions about nationalism and cinema today, the study is addressed to anyone interested in film and nationalism, national cinemas and their relationship to a global/-world cinema.

Meta Schoepp: Mein Junge und ich. Mutterschaft zwischen Zweifel und Z rtlichkeit In Mein Junge und ich erz hlt Meta Schoepp mit entwaffnender Offenheit und feinem Humor von den ersten Lebensjahren ihres Sohnes - und von der tiefgreifenden Ver nderung, die Mutterschaft bedeutet.
