Over the years, most comments by the CPAC Summer Institute participants have been centered on the value of the unique nature of the discussion that occurs in a multidiscipline, multi-industry group. The subjects are meaningful and the past successes resulting from the CPAC Summer Institute are impressive. Figure 1.19 summarizes some of these discussion topics. 

In the summer of 2004, the NATO A.S.I. on the subject Optical Chemical Sensors was organised in Erice, Sicily. This NATO A.S.I. was the 40th Course of the International School of Quantum Electronics, under the auspices of the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Center for Scientific Culture and was directed by Dr. J. Homola of the Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronic (IREE) of the Academy of Sciences in Prague and by Dr. F.Baldini of the Nello Carrara Institute of Applied Physics (IFAC-CNR). It is also the fourth course in the framework of the ASCOS (Advanced Study Course on Optical Chemical Sensors) series, founded in 1999 by Prof. Otto Wolfbeis. This book presents the Proceedings of this advanced course providing a deep overview of both the fundamentals of optical chemical sensing and the applications of chemical sensors. 

Acknowledgments The author would like to acknowledge the collaborations of Drs. David Williams, Ronald Ziolo and Valeri Krongauz (visiting scientist, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel) in addition to the contributions made by John VanDusen and Ronald Weagley, all employees at Xerox Webster Research Center. Finally the role of two students in this effort, Cheryl Hanzlik (APS Summer Intern, Univ. of Rochester) and Bonnie Buchalter (Cooperative Education Employee, Manhattan College) is acknowledged. 

In 1953, he received an offer from the University of Pennsylvania, one of the oldest and most distinguished universities in the United States, which was also located in a major center of chemical industries. In 1954, he accepted the position as the Benjamin Franklin Professor of Chemistry and chairman of the Chemistry Department. In the transitional summer of 1954, he gave a series of lectures on polymer chemistry at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, which became the basis of his first book, Reactions at the Carbon-Carbon Double Bond. An important original idea posited in this book was the phenomenon of pi-bonding. From the beginning of his doctoral research at Harvard, a major common thread to many of Charles contributions was his keen interest in the detailed mechanisms by which chemical reactions occur. 

M. Venkat Ram Reddy, born in 1967, received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India. Later, he worked with Nobel Laureate Professor Herbert C. Brown and Professor P. V. Ramachandran at the Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, for his postdoctoral studies. He was then appointed as the Assistant Research Scientist in the newly established Herbert C. Brown Center for Borane Research, Purdue University. Since Summer of 2004, he has been an Assistant Professor at the Departments of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Minnesota Duluth. He has co-authored more than 60 publications and three patents. His research interests include asymmetric organic synthesis and synthesis of small molecules as anticancer agents. 

This is a complicated question. It can only be understood in the context of that time. I realized that with the work on the reaction center I had a very good chance to get an independent position somewhere. The Max Planck Society offered a job as a director to Hartmut Michel but, at that time, not to me. I had contacts with universities in Germany and with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg. At that time I also made many trips to the United States, by invitation, to talk about this story. In the summer of 1986, two years after we had completed the structure I received a letter from this institution, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. It was motivated, as I now know, by the... 

This book is a collection of the contributions of the invited lecturers to a summer school on "Modern Perspectives in Inorganic Crystal Chemistry which was devoted to treating the problems mentioned above. The school, a NATO Advanced Study Institute, was held in Erice, Sicily, between May 29th and June 7th, 1992. The school was created to provide an interface between specialists who centered their research work on solving crystal chemical problems and the chemists, physicists, material scientists, metallurgists and mineralogists who wanted to obtain a state-of-the-art view of Inorganic Crystal Chemistry.

Akihiro Ametani earned his PhD from the University of Manchester (UMIST), Manchester, UK, in 1973. He was with the UMIST from 1971 to 1974, and with Bonneville Power Administration for summers from 1976 to 1981, and developed the EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transients Program). Since 1985, he has been a professor at Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan. In 1988, he was a visiting professor at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. From April 1996 to March 1998, he was the director of the Science and Engineering Institute, Doshisha University, and dean of the Library and Computer/Information Center from April 1998 to March 2001. He was chairperson of the Doshisha Council until March 2014.
