Yet the exact details of the war crimes--how many people were killed during the battle? How many after? How many women were raped? Were...

rd This book has been developed from the proceedings of the 3 Tannin Confer- ence honoring Professor Edwin Haslam, Department of Chemistry, University of Sheffield, for his efforts and outstanding contributions to the field of plant polyphe- nols. The meeting was held in Bend, Oregon, July 20-25, 1998, with the objective of promoting collaboration between chemists and biologists to improve our under- standing of the biological significance and to expand possibilities for use of plant polyphenols. Special efforts were made to summarize current research on the in- nd fluence ofthese compounds...
