    Summary: This wide-ranging survey of the state of the art in clinical pragmatics includes an examination of pragmatic disorders in previously neglected populations such as juvenile offenders, children and adults with emotional and behavioural disorders, and adults with non-Alzheimer dementias. This book makes a significant contribution to the discussion of pragmatic disorders by exploring topics which have a fast-rising profile in the field. These topics include disorders in which there are both pragmatic and cognitive components, and studies of the complex impacts of pragmatic disorders such as mental health problems, educational disadvantage and social exclusion. This book also presents a critical evaluation of our current state of knowledge of pragmatic disorders. The author focuses on the lack of integration between theoretical and clinical branches of pragmatics and argues that the work of clinicians is all too often inadequately informed by theoretical frameworks. She attempts to bridge these gaps by pursuing a closer alliance of clinical and theoretical branches of pragmatics. It is claimed that this alliance represents the most promising route for the future development of the field. At once a yardstick measuring progress thus far in clinical pragmatics, and also a roadmap for future research development, this single-author volume defines where we have reached in the field, as well as where we have to go next.

    The pigment content of a B800-850 light-harvesting pigment-protein complex isolated from three different stains of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides has been determined. In each case the ratio of carotenoid to bacteriochlorophyll present is very nearly 1 : 3 an no specificity with regard to carotenoid type was observed. The fourth derivative of the infra-red absorption bands of the complex was determined and it is concluded that the minimal functional unit of B800-850 complex consists of 1 carotenoid molecule and three bacteriochlorophyll molecules. The data presented here, together with the previous study of Austin, (Austin, L.A. (1976) Ph.D. Thesis, University of California at Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Report No. LBL 5512) suggest that the 800 nm absorption band represents one of these bacteriochlorophyll molecules while the remaining two bacteriochlorophylls are responsible for the 850 nm band. The absorption spectra and circular dichroism spectra of the complexes suggests that their structure has not been greatly altered during the purification.
