Don't just see the sights-get to know the people.Botswana is a country of contrasts. Culturally, the people are overwhelmingly Bantu, but with more than twenty different ethnic groups and over thirty languages spoken, the society is by no means homogeneous.Culture Smart! Botswana introduces you to the lives of the people. It looks at the history that has shaped the society and shows the importance of traditional customs and values for both travelers and businesspeople alike. It describes how the Batswana live, work, and play, and how to avoid the pitfalls of cultural misunderstanding.Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

This volume is the proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Language Semantics held at Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, April 8-10, 1987. The 1st Workshop was at Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas in April, 1985 (see LNCS 239), and the 2nd Workshop with a limited number of participants was at Kansas State in April, 1986. It was the intention of the organizers that the 3rd Workshop survey as many areas of the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Language Semantics as reasonably possible. The Workshop attracted 49 submitted papers, from which 28 papers were chosen for presentation. The papers ranged in subject from category theory and Lambda-calculus to the structure theory of domains and power domains, to implementation issues surrounding semantics.

This volume contains the proceedings of the SeventhInternational Conferenceon the Mathematical Foundations ofProgramming Semantics, held at Carnegie Mellon University,March 1991.The conference continued a series of annual meetings,alternating between workshop and conference formats,intended to bring together computer scientists andmathematicians for discussion of research problems, resultsand directions in programming language semantics and relatedareas. A major goalof the series is to improvecommunication and interaction between researchers in theseareas and to establish ties between related areas ofresearch.The volume contains revised and refereed versions of each ofthe contributed papers and refereed papers by three invitedspeakers:Jon Barwise, John Reynolds, and Mitchell Wand.
