Conference held in 1966 at Boston, not last year's conference at Venice. In fact the copy for review arrived on the Book Review Editor's desk less than one month before the Venice conference started. If the stated targets are achieved the proceedings of the later conference could well be published before this review appears in the Quarterly. One of the prime objects of a review is to help prospective buyers make a correct purchasing decision. Many libraries will place these proceedings on their shelves regardless of quality. But which individuals-and for what reasons-should consider paying £11 15s. for a 3!-lb, 1092-page record of a conference held more than 3 years ago? Morse sums up the conference in a clear and quantitative manner and compares the content of papers presented at the four I.F.O.R.S. conferences. It is gratifying that, in an applied science such as operational research, the papers on applications have increased steadily from 30 per cent in 1957 to almost 60 per cent in 1966. This is the main reason why individuals should consider purchasing the Proceedings. There are numerous texts on theoretical developments but very few on how researchers actually apply their theories. It is instructive to realize that people who are happy to work under the operational research label cover an extremely wide range of activities including marketing, transportation, investment, urban planning, national resources and distribution. The growth of reported work in the more complex areas of marketing and the public sector is particularly gratifying. Operational research will only grow as a subject if its practitioners tackle the more complex and ill-defined problems surrounding them. We are still not completely free from the labels of inventory control and linear programming, but there is distinct hope that the public at large, especially the managerial public, will recognize our wider horizons. Show this book to your managerial colleagues-not to impress or frighten them by its size or the mathematics which occurs in some parts, but rather to show them that there are no boundaries to the types of problems which operational research scientists can tackle.

This exhibition was held in conjunction with Henriette Steiner and Svava Riesto's project, Women in Danish Architecture 1925–1975.

Although European architects have worked beyond Europe since the time of the Crusades, the attention of historians of modern architecture has focused upon either colonial architecture or the work of exiles from fascism. Most of this literature focuses on the movement of forms and theories, rather than on how people structure their own identity in relationship to experiences of other places and cultures. The papers of this section shift the center of the discussion from dissemination to interchange and from colonial Africa and Asia to postcolonial Latin America and to parts of Asia that were never colonized. It considers clients as active agents, rather than passive consumers of varied forms of modernism, and it encompass...
