Since its inception in 1991, EUROMAT has been held each year on behalf of the Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS), and alternates between general and topical prospectives. This year's theme, Advances in Mechanical Behaviour, Plasticity and Damage, was proposed by the Societe Francaise de Metallurgie et de Materiaux (SF2M) to FEMS.This publication contains a selection of papers presented at the EUROMAT 2000 Conference, held in Tours, France on 7-9 November 2000. The aim of this Conference was to concentrate mainly on recent advances made in the investigation of the relationship between microstructures of materials and their mechanical behaviour; including, fundamentals, modelling and applications. Encompassed in the Conference's aim is the nurturing of the synergistic effect between the theoretical and applied areas in this field. This was achieved by addressing important basic and practical aspects of the mechanical behaviour and damage of materials whilst also providing significant links between various complementary approaches. All kinds of materials are covered and topics that were covered include the mechanics of solid polymers, microstructurs and micromechanisms, and the collective behavior of defects which looks at the interaction of multiple defects in a system.

Obstetric anaesthesia is a specialized practice and covers the entire range of pain relief throughout normal labor as well as general anaesthesia for special procedures such as caesarian section. While there is a specialist group based at main teaching centers who practice obsteric anaesthesia exclusively, the majority of anaesthetists are based at smaller hospitals where there is no such specialist. Consequently, it is essential that all anaesthetists are familiar with the anaesthetic requirements of normal labor, and of all but the most extreme cases of abnormal labor. While this book is written for the specialist in obstetric anaesthesia, it is also ideal for trainee anaesthetists. It provides enough information for the final FRCA examination, but also contains sufficient detail on the various clinical problems that may present at any stage in their future career. The underlying principle is that the anaesthetist must understand the physiology of labor in normal and abnormal situations as well as the interventions of his obstetric colleagues in order to practice safely and effectively. The book will replace J. Selwyn Crawford's text, which presented a personal view, backed by his extensive research experience of obstetric anaesthesia.

This groundbreaking book, written by a male survivor, makes explicit the isolation and stigmatization of male survivors and discusses the fear and conflict of disclosure. Men and women survivors share many common concerns such as guilt,isolation,shame and low self esteem. The issues unique to male survivors are discussed in a candid and sensitive manner. Focus is maintained on hope and recovery through a 12-step model of spiritual and emotional growth and development.
