Visions and Strategies in European Integration
The first years of the 90s have witnessed thorough political and economic changes in northern Europe. The long period of strong political separation between east and west and the less strong economic separation between the northern and southern sides of the Baltic Sea seemed to be replaced by far-reaching integration. There is no doubt that further integration will have additional impacts on the regional patterns in northern Europe. The amplitude and composition of these changes are difficult to project. In this volume a number of scholars in regional science and related disciplines (geography, economics, environmental and political sciences, planning) have brought together important material on the current processes that reshapes northern Europe. Visions andstrategies on local, national and supranational levels are penetrated in depth. A "mosaic" vision of the regional development pattern emerges highlighting the importance of cooperative and competitive strategies affecting the local conditions of European regions.

Late Bronze Age Weapon Depositions of North-Western Europe
The European Bronze Age (ca. 2200 to 800 BC) is characterised by the deposition of metal artefacts in very different compositions and conditions. They were usually deliberately abandoned in conspicuous places, especially near bodies of water. The purposes of these actions continue to be controversially interpreted in archaeological research, with the spectrum of suggestions ranging from hidden treasures in times of crisis, to concealed caches of craftsmen and traders, to ritual offerings to superhuman beings. Tobias Mörtz systematically presents a specific group of these so-called hoards and discusses their interpretation in a wider cultural-scientific context. Based on his own investigations of the original artefacts, traces of wear and damage are identified on spearheads and swords from Britain, France and Ireland, indicating their use during violent conflicts and subsequent deliberate destruction by bending, breaking, crushing, and burning. The final concealment in wetlands and rivers ruled out a potential retrieval. So, were they sacrifices after warlike events? What role did violence play in the Late Bronze Age? Were the rituals also intended to contain it?
New Challenges in Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery
In the 5 years since the publication of Urologic Laparoscopy by the Japanese Society of Endourology and ESWL, the field has moved on apace, particularly technologically. It is with an eye on the need to disseminate the latest information on this progress that this collection has been assembled, highlighting the most recent advances in laparoscopic urologic oncology surgery. With treatment options becoming ever more complicated, it is essential to keep the prime objectives in mind - improved quality of life for the patient, minimal complications, early convalescence, and a better end result. In our effort to cover a broad range of techniques from renal cyst decortication to robotic laparoscopic camera control, we are in debt to surgeons at the forefront of treatment, not only in Japan but worldwide, and to manufacturers who are constantly innovating in their equipment. The contributors are enthusiastic in their expertise, as shown in the quality of the material they have produced.
Advances in Radiation Therapy
Recent advances in radiation oncology have depended upon and are intertwined with subsequent scientific discoveries and the development of new techniques in the fields of radiation and molecular biology, physics, electrical engineering, surgery, and medical oncology. This volume describes how some of the recent discoveries in the radiological sciences have influenced the way radiation oncology is practised. As there are many advances in this field, the Editors have chosen to concentrate on selected topics in clinical radiotherapy, radiation physics and biology, and technical innovations that have had a major impact on radiation oncology in the past twenty years. It is hoped that the techniques described in this volume will increase tumor control and prolong patient survival and at the same time decrease radiation-induced side effects and complications.
