Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant, albeit underreported and underidentified, public health problem that requires the informed and coordinated efforts of the health care system for appropriate recognition and intervention. In addition, health disparities are seen in the incidence, prevalence, and burden of IPV among specific population groups in the United States. Pediatric–Psychology Partnership for Abuse Prevention is a graduate psychology education training project focused on developing an integrated primary health-care based workforce that is culturally sensitive and competent in the identification and remediation of IPV. In addition, this project aimed to increase the number of health service psychologists from diverse backgrounds who are culturally competent and aware of health disparities. The training included clinical psychology trainees and pediatric residents working together in an ambulatory pediatric health care setting. Project methods, outcomes, and implications for predoctoral clinical psychology training programs are described.

The Earth Observing System (EOS) scheduled for launch in 1997 and 1999 is briefly described, and the EOS volcanology investigation objectives are discussed. The volcanology investigation will include long- and short-term monitoring of selected volcanoes, the detection of precursor activity associated with unanticipated eruptions, and a detailed study of on-going eruptions. A variety of instruments on the EOS platforms will enable the study of local- and regional-scale thermal and deformational features of volcanoes, and the chemical and structural features of volcanic eruption plumes and aerosols.

The intention behind the rather outlandish title of this paper is to suggest how the remarkable achievement of William Adam, perhaps the only eighteenth-century Scottish architect practising at home who succeeded in producing a substantial body of highly individual work of more than parochial interest (though this achievement has rarely been seen as belonging to the wider arena of British architecture), accorded with ideas and fashions south of the border, where many of the most important early Georgian architectural innovations were being made.1

In 1907, the year before its destruction, the parish church of St Peter-Le-Poer, Broad Street (1789–92) in the City of London, was dismissed as architecturally ‘common-place’ (Figs 1–2). Reconsidered almost a hundred years later, it now seems to have been one of the more striking metropolitan churches built during the closing years of the eighteenth century, and surely deserves a closer look.

The rebuilding of St Giles-in-the-Fields between 1730 and 1734 is one of the least known but most significant episodes in the history of Georgian church design, standing at a crucial crossroads of radical architectural change and representing nothing less than the first Palladian-Revival church to be erected in London in the eighteenth century (Fig. 19).
