TUTORIAL SALES SCHEME TO END SOON

The majority of volumes resulting from NATO's scientific publication programme are quite different from "ordinary" conference proceedings. "State_of_the_art volumes" or "Tutorial Texts" would be more apt descriptions of the books. The topics and programmes are selected for funding under quite severe criteria regarding quality of the programmes and international standing of the lecturers.

During the past two decades NATO ASI SERIES volumes have been made available to individual scientists under the so-called "TUTORIAL SALES SCHEME": the publishers of the series have been offering the volumes at a preferential rate of US Dollars 40.00 per volume if five or more copies were purchased for classroom use.

This is why in the past the demand for NATO ASI SERIES volumes under the TUTORIAL SALES SCHEME has been considerable. We estimate that the participants of about one thousand lecture series or courses have taken advantage of the scheme.

Owing to a change in publication policy this scheme will be discontinued before the end of this year.

Application forms and instructions for the purchase of volumes under this scheme are available on the INTERNET: http://www.wtv-books.de/_order.htm
