The study of language learner characteristics, or individual differences (IDs), has a long tradition in second language studies and nobody would question that factors such as language aptitude, motivation, or learning styles are important contributors to success in mastering a foreign language. Accordingly, the existing literature on individual difference variables is extensive. Curiously, however, there are very few book-length summaries of the topic—in fact, there is only one single-authored monograph on language learning IDs, Peter Skehan’s (1989) seminal title on Individual Differences in Second Language Learning. Since the publication of that book a great deal of research has been conducted in the field to explore the language learner, and an updated overview has been due for some time. In response to this need, the last five years have seen the publication of no fewer than four anthologies on learner issues (although not all from an ID perspective), edited by Breen (2001), Cook (2002), Cornwell and Robinson (2000), and Robinson (2002). These volumes are all of high quality, with chapters written by some of the best known experts in the field. So what justifies the writing of the current book? Let me mention three reasons: • An authored book can offer certain useful features that anthologies, by definition, cannot: A unified voice and style, an integrated text, and a more even coverage of the domain without duplications or gaps. • Anthologies are, by definition, selective: They focus on key issues and often ignore smaller but nevertheless important subareas that do not warrant a whole chapter. This is certainly true in our case, as none of the four works mentioned above address, for example, ‘learner beliefs,’ or ‘learning styles,’ let alone lesser known variables such as ‘creativity’. So far such topics have been discussed primarily in journal articles and, to a lesser extent, in thematic monographs targeting only the specific ID variable in question. • In this book I would like to extend the traditional boundaries of individual differences and include some important learner variables—most notably various personality traits—that are not normally discussed in this context in the L2 literature.

Коркин, Александр Николаевич — заслуженный профессор математики спб. университета. Родился в Вологодской губ. в 1837 г. По окончании первоначального образования в вологодской классической гимназии К. в 1854 г. поступил студентом на физико-математический факультет спб. университета, где уже в 1856 г. за сочинение на заданную факультетом тему "О наибольших и наименьших величинах", получил золотую медаль. Окончив курс в 1858 г. со степенью кандидата, К. поступил учителем математики в спб. 1-й кадетский корпус, но продолжал научные занятия и в 1860 г. защитил диссертацию "Определение произвольных функций в интегралах линейных уравнений с частными производными" на степень магистра чистой математики; тогда он оставил службу в корпусе и избран был адъюнктом спб. университета по кафедре математики, сделавшейся вакантной после В. Я. Буняковского. 1862—63 гг. К. провел в заграничной командировке, слушал лекции знаменитых математиков в Париже и Берлине и подготовил свою диссертацию "О совокупных уравнениях с частными производными и некоторых вопросах механики"; эта диссертация была окончена уже в С.-Петербурге и после защиты ее, в 1868 г., К. был утвержден в звании экстраординарного профессора. С 1873 г. он состоял ординарным, а с 1886 г. — заслуженным профессором. В разное время К. читал лекции почти во всем отделам математики; лекции его всегда отличались ясностью изложения и изяществом формы. — Научные работы К. имеют предметом главным образом интегрирование уравнений с частными производными и теорию чисел. К первой области относятся его магистерская и докторская диссертации, а также статьи "Sur le théorème de Poisson et son réciproque" ("Bulletin de l'Acad. de St.-Petersb", т. 16, 1871), "О частных дифференциальных уравнениях второго порядка" (Приложение к протоколам университета, 1878) и др. В докторской диссертации рассматривается совокупность какого угодно числа уравнений первого порядка с одной неизвестной и предлагаются оригинальные приемы для нахождения этой неизвестной, ведущие к решению особенной области вопросов, из которой автор, для пояснения теории, взял вопрос о нахождении интегралов, общих многим задачам механики. Другие статьи касаются трудного вопроса об определении произвольных функций, входящих в интегралы уравнения второго порядка по заданным начальным условиям. Автор решает вопрос для всех тех случаев, к которым применим способ Монжа, и дает правила для нахождения упомянутых функций при существовании начальных условий определенного рода. В теории чисел работы К. сосредоточиваются на теории квадратичных форм. Основной вопрос о так называемом точном пределе для минимума определенных квадратичных форм, легко решающийся для форм бинарных, представлял уже трудности для форм тройничных, и хотя для последних и был найден еще Зебером, но доказан только Гауссом в 1831 г. Несравненно большие трудности представлял этот вопрос для форм с четырьмя и более переменными; трудности настолько увеличиваются с увеличением числа переменных, что со времен Гаусса многие математики тщетно пытались их преодолеть. С 1871 по 1877 гг. К., совместно с Е. И. Золотаревым (см.), предпринял ряд исследований об упомянутом вопросе и им удалось найти решения для форм с четырьмя и с пятью переменными. Эти результаты, считающиеся капитальными в теории определенных квадратичных форм, изложены в статьях, напечатанных в "Mathematische Annalen" (B. V, VI и XI). — Мелкие статьи математического содержания К. напечатал в "Nouvelles Annales de Mathématique", в "Comptes Rendus" парижской академии, в бюллетенях Дарбу и в русских математических журналах. В течение своей многолетней профессорской деятельности К. создал целую школу молодых математиков. Его бывшие слушатели состоят ныне профессорами во многих русских университетах.

Ken Thomas and Joe McMann have produced a magnificent treatise on spacesuits, spacewalking, life support systems and escape systems. US Spacesuits is historical, massively comprehensive, precise, informative, relevant and readable. As an astronaut I spent 30 years in their world and in their suits. My life was in their hands. I trained on the Apollo and Skylab systems; I assisted in the development of the Skylab extravehicular activity (EVA) procedures and was a capsule communicator (capcom) on six of the Skylab walks. I helped them in the development and testing of the shuttle suits, escape systems and all the spacewalking equipment. Together with Don Peterson, I was the first astronaut to test the material in space and I was the lead walker in the initial repair of the Hubble Space Telescope. In this book I am able to relive a lot of my 30 years in that world and gain new insights and perspectives on those experiences.

In today's globalized world, few competencies are as essential as the ability to negotiate across cultures. In this insightful and practical book, Chris Moore and Peter Woodrow draw on their extensive global experience to help us understand the intricacies of seeking to reach intercultural agreements and show us how to get to a wise.

The use or possession of many drugs is currently a criminal offense in the U.S. Can these criminal laws be justified? What are the best reasons to punish or not to punish drug users? These are the fundamental issues debated in this book by two prominent philosophers of law. Douglas Husak argues in favor of drug decriminalization, by clarifying the meaning of crucial terms, such as legalize, decriminalize, and drugs. Peter de Marneffe argues against drug legalization, demonstrating why drug prohibition, especially the prohibition of heroin, is necessary to protect youth from self-destructive drug use.

How has the United Nations dealt with the question of terrorism before and after September 11? What does it mean that the UN itself has become a target of terrorism? Terrorism and the UN analyzes how the UN's role in dealing with terrorism has been shaped over the years by the international system, and how events such as September 11 and the American intervention in Iraq have reoriented its approach to terrorism. The first half of the book addresses the international context. Chapters in this part consider the impact of September 11 on the UN's concern for the rights and security of states relative to those of individuals, as well as the changing attitudes of various Western powers toward multilateral vs. unilateral approaches to international problems. The second half of the book focuses more closely on the UN, its values, mechanisms, and history and its future role in preventing and reacting to terrorism. The Security Council's position on and reactions to terrorist activities are contrasted with the General Assembly's approach to these issues. What role the UN might play in suppressing the political economy of terrorism is considered. A concluding chapter looks at broader, more proactive strategies for addressing the root causes of terrorism, with an emphasis on social justice as a key to conflict prevention, a primary concern of the UN, particularly the General Assembly, before September 11.
