Publications

Reprints of some of my English language publications are available in Adobe Acrobat pdf format below. In order to reduce file size photographs have been reduced to 150 dpi. Most of the documents have been set up on an A4 size page. Depending upon the type of printer and paper size you use it may be best to reduce the size of the document to 80-90% when printing. This will prevent text being cut off at the margins. This is an ongoing project and will be completed during 2003. Only the highlighted references currently have active links. In order to read these documents you will have to have Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed. Software for Windows, Macintosh and Unix platforms can be obtained from Adobe at the link below.
