Overview: Our pocket-book has come about as a direct attempt to answer the needs of our clinical students. We have tried to use radiology as a magic window for looking at their patients‘ medical and surgical problems. The book is very simple and highly selective.

Overview: The International Scientific Spring Meeting of the Astronomische Ge- sellschaft (AG) held at Bamberg in April 1991 was devoted to "Vari- abilities in Stars and Galaxies". Time-dependent phenomena are observed in a wide range of as- tronomical objects. They are caused by different physical mechanisms (for example by pulsation, by accretion, or by dramatic eruptive events in connection with mass outflow) producing observable intensity vari- ations through all wavelengths. Many of the papers in this volume are concerned with galactic stars showing such behaviour (for ex- ample cataclysm
