In this volume, distinguished Chinese and Western scholars provide a detailed examination of the problems associated with China's transition to a market-oriented system. A variety of reform proposals, aimed at resolving the contradictions inherent in piecemeal reform, are discussed along with the chances for future liberalization.These clearly written and insightful essays address the roots of China's crisis. The authors focus on institutional changes necessary for a spontaneous market order and point to the close relation between economic reform and political-constitutional reform. Topics include the speed and degree of the transition, whether ownership reform must precede price reform, how inflation can be avoided, steps to depoliticize economic life, how to create an environment conducive to foreign trade and investment, and how to institute basic constitutional change and open China to the outside world.The revolutionary changes now shaking the foundations of socialism and central planning in the Soviet Union and Eastern and Central Europe are sure to have an impact on China's future. Despite their seriousness, the events of Tiananmen Square may constitute only a temporary detour on the road toward a private market order. The essays in this volume help lay a rational framework for understanding China's present problems and for discussing the prospects for future reform.

This study grew out of a series of lectures Jespersen gave at ColumbiaUniversity in 1909-10, called “An Introduction to English Grammar.”It is the connected presentation of Jespersen's views of the generalprinciples of grammar based on years of studying various languagesthrough both direct observation of living speech and written andprinted documents.“[The Philosophy of Grammar and Analytic Syntax] setforth the most extensive and original theory of universal grammarprior to the work of Chomsky and other generative grammarians of thelast thirty years.”—Arne Juul and Hans F. Nielsen, in Otto Jespersen: Facets of His Life and Work“Besides being one of the most perceptive observers and originalthinkers that the field of linguistics has ever known, Jespersen wasalso one of its most entertaining writers, and reading The Philosophy of Grammar is fun. Read it, enjoy it.”—James D.McCawley, from the IntroductionOtto Jespersen (1860-1943), an authority on the growth and structureof language, was the Chair of the English Department at the Universityof Copenhagen. Among his many works are A Modern English Grammar and Analytic Syntax, the latter published by theUniversity of Chicago Press.

In the decade since the first edition of this book was published advances have been made in our knowledge of the fresh waters of the world, espe cially in understanding many of the processes involved in their functioning as systems and in countering the problems created by human activities. New problems too, many of an international nature, have loomed during this period-of which global warming and the acidification of fresh waters in many parts of the world are notable examples. In addition, much has now been published concerning the aquatic flora, fauna and ecology of previously poorly known geographic areas, notably Australasia. The second edition of this book is a revision which updates the text in the light of recent advances in our knowledge of freshwater biology. Inevitably, in an elementary volume such as this, the treatment of many of the basic principles and processes remains the same. However, several new sections are included covering a range of topics such as acid deposition and the acidification process, bacterial decomposition and aquaculture. The book includes many new references and suggestions for up-to-date reading in particular topics. The objective of the second edition remains the same as that of the first. It is intended as a basic introduction to the major aspects of freshwater biology at a level suitable for undergraduates. It should also prove useful, as apparently did the first edition, to professional workers in related fields, e.g. water engineers and chemists, aquaculturists and planners.
