Roots of Brazil’s Relative Economic Backwardness explains Brazil’s development level in light of modern theories regarding economic growth and international economics. It focuses on both the proximate and fundamental causes of Brazil’s slow development, turning currently dominant hypotheses upside down. To support its arguments, the book presents extensive statistical analysis of Brazilian long-term development, with some new series on per capita GDP, population ethnical composition, and human capital stock, among others. It is an important resource in the ongoing debate on the causes of Latin American underdeveloped economies.

The economic literature on international migration interests policymakers as well as academics throughout the social sciences. These volumes, the first of a new subseries in the Handbooks in Economics, describe and analyze scholarship created since the inception of serious attention began in the late 1970s. This literature appears in the general economics journals, in various field journals in economics (especially, but not exclusively, those covering labor market and human resource issues), in interdisciplinary immigration journals, and in papers by economists published in journals associated with history, sociology, political science, demography, and linguistics, among others.

Biosensors 94: The Third World Congress on Biosensors Abstracts focuses on the progress in the field of biosensors, including immuno-absorbent 'catch' system, surface plasmon resonance, and chemiluminescence. The selection first offers information on the development of a commercial multichannel clinical sensor chip; commercial development and application of biosensors; amperometric biosensors based on dehydrogenase/NAD and heterocyclic quinones; and enzyme-epoxy membrane based semi-automated glucose analyzing system. The text then takes a look at the orientation of antibody fragments to increase TIRF immunosensor efficiency and the development of latex-technology for specific DNA detection with surface plasmon resonance. The book elaborates on gas-phase biosensor for the determination of ethanol vapor; novel electrochemical gas phase biosensors for the detection of phenolic vapors; and the development of an immuno-absorbent 'catch' system for the detection of pesticides and pesticide analogues. The book also ponders on the kinetics of binding of immobilized antibodies under nonequilibrium, flow conditions; flow injection thin-layer cell immunosensor with chemiluminescent detection of peroxidase label; and new optical fiber sensor for detecting chemiluminescence and its application to immunoassay. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in biosensors.
