In this collection of papers, we attempt to document, through interdisciplinary studies in southwest Mongolia, the interlinked evolution of the biosphere and lithosphere over the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian interval. In so doing, we bring together the fruits of two expeditions to the Altay mountains, sponsored by IGCP Project 303 on Precambrian–Cambrian Event Stratigraphy. Both expeditions took place during an interval of great socio-economic change in the region. The first expedition, in 1991, was one of the last in a series of Joint Soviet–Mongolian Palaeontological Expeditions, organized by A. Yu. Rozanov and R. Barsbold, and led by E. A. Zhegallo and A. Yu. Zhuravlev. Scientists from Sweden and the UK also participated. The second, 1993, expedition was one of the first IGCP project meetings organized independently by the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, and was led by M. D. Brasier and D. Dorjnamjaa.

Abstract We study the largest exposed example of an early Cambrian palaeokarst, associated with laterites and developed during rifting of the Ossa–Morena Zone. The lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, facies and the genesis reflect episodes of sea-level fall (Cerro del Hierro Regression) related to tectonic events and palaeoclimate. This palaeokarst can be primarily considered as the result of early Cambrian polyphase karstification in an extensional tectonic regime, later modified by Neogene–Quaternary geomorphological processes. The event may correlate with other regressive events of a similar age in Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, South America and Australia. This episode also has local names (e.g. Cerro del Hierro Regression in the Mediterranean region; Woodlands Regression in the UK). It is sometimes accompanied by additional karst development outside of Spain that is compared and interpreted in a global context.

In December 1999, as part of its tricentenary celebrations, the Berlin Academy of Sciences invited eleven speakers to discuss the Origin of Language (cf. the Trabant & Ward volume, henceforth T&W). In March 2000 a workshop (Crow 2002a) under the auspices of the British Academy and the UK Academy of Medical Sciences, ‘The speciation of modern Homo sapiens’, addressed the same problem. The speciation of Homo sapiens and the origins of language are surely two sides of the same coin. At about the same time, the Christiansen & Kirby volume on Language Evolution (henceforth C&K) was conceived at the Fifth Australasian Cognitive Science Conference. Together the contributions of these volumes constitute a substantial contemporary archive on the origin of language. Their publication provides an opportunity to review the status of attempts to account for the evolution of language. Do the contributions converge on a solution?

The Beyond Language (BL) series is tailored to a tenured, established demographic and driven by professor Piotr Chruszczewski – a vibrant dynamo targeting similarly fresh minds. BL’s intended audience includes authorities of their fields and academia types of present and future generations who will reference these books for years to come – researchers and scholars in every discipline, extending the path of their Nobel laureate predecessors – grounded with one foot in centuries of world class contributions, and the other in cutting edge research and innovation. Beyond Language opens the world’s shipping lanes to future field discoveries. The series is published under the auspices of College for Interdisciplinary Studies, University of Wrocław, Poland, in cooperation with College for International Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, with Faculty of History, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and the Committee for Philology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Wrocław Branch, Poland.

And Function

This introductory chapter discusses the process through which relatively small-scale media activism, based on prisoners' rights, came to be an intrinsic part of prison culture in the UK, playing a central role in institutional operations. It considers prison radio growth within the context of political and economic change, and argues that the successful development of an independent, prisoner-led service represents resistance against the forces of corporatisation and managerialism that have redefined the organisation and function of broadcasting, punishment, and social welfare. Against a backdrop of public service privatisation and media commercialisation, the growth of the Prison Radio Association (PRA) illustrates the complex processes of working in partnership with institutions and agencies to give a voice to people in prison.
