Venezuela, one of the least-known countries in Latin America, is brilliantly spotlighted in Culture and Customs of Venezuela. This oil-rich nation sustained a stable democracy until the economic downturn in the 1980s, and changes in the social and political spheres will bring the country under increasing scrutiny from the outside world. Dinneen captures the sharp contrasts and immense variety of modern Venezuela. Students and interested readers will find engaging and authoritative overviews of the land, people, and history; religions; social customs; media; cinema; literature; performing arts;

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2004, held in Auckland, New Zealand in December 2004. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The main subjects are formal languages, automata, conventional and unconventional computation theory, and applications of automata theory. Among the topics addressed are grammars and acceptors for strings, graphs, and arrays; efficient text algorithms, combinatorial and algebraic properties o
