In the early twenty-first century international education emerged as an almost ubiquitous concept within discussions of educational curriculum; the objectives of schools, universities, and colleges; and government policies for K–12 and higher education. Although far from a new phenomenon, many jurisdictions now view international education as a highly competitive global industry. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of international education policy in Canada, tracing the complex history of when, how, and why it emerged as a policy area of strategic importance. Illuminating a uniquely Canadian perspective, influenced by regional interests and federal-provincial tensions, International Education as Public Policy in Canada addresses challenging questions: Why was Canada a latecomer in addressing this policy issue? What is the relationship between international education and Canadian immigration policy? How did international education develop as a major Canadian industry? The resulting essays from leading scholars contribute not only to the growing Canadian literature on international education policy but also to a critical, global conversation. Contemplating where the Canadian story of international education is headed, International Education as Public Policy in Canada calls for a broader debate on ethical practices in internationalization, focusing on inclusion, equity, compassion, and reciprocity.

No books are available on the market describing recent carbonate mounds along the European continental margins and deciphering step by step their internal structure. The first results of IODP Expedition 307 "Modern Carbonate Mounds: Porcupine Drilling" are published in Ferdelman, T.G., Kano, A., Williams, T., Henriet, J.-P., and the Expedition 307 Scientists, 2006. Proc. IODP, 307: Washington, DC (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Management International, Inc.). doi:10.2204/iodp.proc.307.2006. However, these proceedings do not give an overview of the existing knowledge on carbonate mounds and do not include detailed post-cruise analysis and advanced interpretations.

Le IXe colloque de la Société européenne pour la biotechnologie marine s'est tenu du 12 au 14 mai 2002 à Nantes, il a permis de réunir en un même lieu les acteurs du monde de la recherche et ceux de l'industrie afin d'exposer et de débattre des avancées dans les principaux domaines de la biotechnologie marine. La majorité des interventions a porté sur les molécules bioactives issues d'organismes et de végétaux marins en donnant des informations sur leur nature (protéine, peptide, enzyme, lipide, polysaccharide...) et sur leurs utilisations potentielles dans des domaines aussi divers que la nutrition humaine et animale (aquaculture, microbiologie) et la santé humaine (pharmacie). Une session a même été totalement consacrée aux polysaccharides marins issus d'algues et de bactéries, des exemples précis sur leur potentiel en santé humaine ont été donnés. Il ressort de ce congrès que la biodiversité des ressources marines offre de nombreux débouchés dans l'industrie et contribue à l'essor de la biotechnologie marine.

Reflecting increased interest in the field and its relevance in global environmental issues, Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review, Volume 47 provides authoritative reviews that summarize results of recent research in basic areas of marine research, exploring topics of special and topical importance while adding to new areas as they arise. This volume, part of a series that regards the all marine sciences as a complete unit, features contributions from experts involved in biological, chemical, geological, and physical aspects of marine science.
