These proceedings are composed of three parts: 1) the indi vidual papers, 2) their discussions, and 3) a retrospective summa tion of the meeting's deliberations. If we were to suggest a start ing place for reading it would probably be the summation --it at tempts to place the various papers and discussions into a general context and to point out relevant ideas of current knowledge and of potentially useful avenues for further research. The papers and discussions deal more specifically with the indiviaual topics. It is hoped that the tone and tenor of the meeting are some what reflected in its proceedings. The emphasis today in biological research is quite "ecumenical" in outlook in that often techniques and conclusions from one discipline have relevance and applicability to another. For example, the elucidation of the DNA synthetic stage during interphase was first accomplished with botanical material; this technique has since had a broad and significant role in medical research. Also, the pioneering and now classical studies regarding the effects of ionizing radiation on plant chromosomes were, and still are, the foundation for studying mammalian chromosomes: it re quired only the discovery of a hypotonic medium to achieve spreading of them so that similar types of analyses were possible. Plants and plant cells have many unique features which allow them to be useful either for the study of specific botanical problems, or for studying broad biological principles.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This monograph originated as an interim report on the research project Cog nitive and Social Determinants on Language Acquisition which I conducted under the auspices of the German Department of the University of Frankfurt from September 1971 until the end of 1976. Since November 1972 this project was financed by the Max-Planck-Institut fur Bildungsforschung in Berlin as part of the research project Elternhaus und Schule conducted by Oevermann, Krappmann, and Kreppner. While the goal of this project on language acquisition is the reconstruc tion of the language development of three German children: two middle-class children and one lower-class child from the time of the first linguistic utterances up to the fourth birthday, this interim report deals only with early language development, and it is essentially based on a large body of observational data on the language development of the two middle-class chil dren from their 16th up to their 23rd months of life. In its German version this monograph was completed in March 1975 and pub lished by Klett Verlag in the series "Konzepte der Humanwissenschaften."
