International Review of Law, Computers & Technology is an international review devoted to the study of both the principles and practices bearing on the interaction of computers, other new technologies, and the law. The rapid advances made by technology are radically changing the face of our society. New media now exist in areas such as the creation and the distribution of information and entertainment. They must still be governed by law but which laws are relevant, and which new laws need to be established?

Drawing together the most current work upon the social, economic and cultural impact of the emerging properties of the new information and communications technologies, this journal positions itself at the centre of contemporary debates about the information age. Information, Communication & Society (iCS) transcends cultural and geographical boundaries as it explores a diverse range of issues relating to the development and application of information and communications technologies (ICTs), asking such questions as: * What are the new and evolving forms of social software? What direction will these forms take? * ICTs facilitating globalization; and how might this affect conceptions of local identity, ethnic differences and regional sub-cultures? * Are ICTs leading to an age of electronic surveillance and social control? What are the implications for policing criminal activity, citizen privacy, and public expression? * How are ICTs affecting daily life and social structures such as the family, work and organization, commerce and business, education, health care and leisure activities? * To what extent do the virtual worlds constructed using ICTs impact on the construction of objects, spaces and entities in the material world? iCS analyses such questions from a global, interdisciplinary perspective in contributions of the very highest quality from scholars and practitioners in the social sciences, gender and cultural studies, communication and media studies, as well as in the information and computer sciences. From this site it is possible to browse the Table of Contents of the past and current issues of iCS and read the article abstracts free of charge. You can sign up for a free Online Sample Copy of the journal and also register to have the tables of contents for forthcoming issues of iCS emailed directly to you through the informaworld alerting service.

Solar Energy, the official journal of the International Solar Energy Society®, is devoted exclusively to the science and technology of solar energy applications.The Society was founded in 1954 and is now incorporated as a non-profit educational and scientific institution. With participation encompassing 100 countries, ISES® serves as a centre for information on research and development in solar energy utilisation. Through its publications and its sponsorship of technical conferences, the Society provides a world forum for the active consideration of solar energy.Solar Energy welcomes manuscripts presenting information not previously published in journals on any aspect of solar energy research, development, application, measurement or policy. The term "solar energy" in this context includes the indirect uses such as wind energy and biomass. Because of the international character of Solar Energy, articles that deal solely with the solar radiation or wind data base of a specific country are not normally considered suitable for Solar Energy. Submitted manuscripts may take the form of reports of original studies or reviews of significant prior work in a given area. All manuscripts are subject to reviews to assure accuracy, clarity, and long-term value.Manuscripts of general interest not being suitable for Solar Energy should be submitted to Refocus, which publishes magazine-style feature articles concerning all aspects of renewable energy. Please e-mail David Hopwood, Editor for further details (d.hopwood@elsevier.co.uk) and visit http://www.re-focus.net.
