LONG M. Anne Katzenberg is an internationally recognized leader in the study of past environments and their interactions with humans by means of isotopic analyses applied to bone and other materials. She reconstructs past human lifeways using stable isotope analyses of bone samples and other materials. She is also a talented osteologist and has specialized in the areas of pathology and forensic studies. The work for which she is principally cited focuses on expressions of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in osteological materials, human and other, and she has also used strontium as a paleodietary indicator. Her work addresses a range of historical and prehistorical problems in different parts of the world, including the Lake Baikal area of Siberia and across the Americas. She has been a pioneer in studying the effects of nursing and weaning on chemical signatures in infants' bones and in identifying isotopic variation in pathological bone. SHORT M.

LONG Will Kymlicka, a political philosopher who has made outstanding contributions to the conceptualization of multiculturalism and group rights, has been identified in company with Noam Chomsky, Jacques Derrida and John Rawls as "one of the most influential thinkers in the world today." His earliest work marked a decisive turning point in the dominant contemporary debate between individual rights and group membership. His subsequent work includes the key philosophical text in discussions of multiculturalism. Kymlicka's work has garnered widespread international acclaim; his writings now appear in a total of 27 languages.

LONG Passion and meticulous scholarship characterize the work of Jill L. Levenson, one of the world's pre-eminent Shakespeare scholars. As one of the leading editors, bibliographers, and literary critics in the twin fields of early modern and modern English drama, Jill Levenson has for decades been leaving her mark on the profession of literary studies in Canada and internationally. Few can equal a public record of achievement and service that includes (but is not limited to) being President of the Shakespeare Association of America (1991-2), Chair of the International Shakespeare Association (2001), the recipient of a Special Certificate of Merit for a career of distinguished service as an editor (1986) and her own university's Faculty of Arts and Science Outstanding Teacher Award (1994). What makes her research and teaching on drama stand out from those of even her most accomplished peers is her determination to pay significant attention to performance and not only to text: her groundbreaking new Oxford edition of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has changed how scholars as well as students read all the plays of that master. Her many articles and books, not only on Shakespeare but on writers as different from him as Tom Stoppard, are "musts" for people working in drama. For eleven years, she edited the journal Modern Drama, but it was her work on and for the Stratford Festival that has brought her to the attention of the more general public, for she has helped Canadians understand the idea and function of a national theatre through her essays, program notes, and reviews. Jill Levenson is also an inspirational teacher; her many students speak of her passion for her subject, her intelligence, openness, and generosity. Perhaps not surprisingly, these are also the qualities of her fine scholarship. SHORT Passion and meticulous scholarship characterize the work of Jill L.

Marnie Rice is one of the world's most prolific and innovative scientists studying criminal behavior, human aggression, sexual offending, and psychopathy. Her research on the prediction of violence, the motivation of sex offenders, the nature of psychopathy, the interplay between violence and mental disorder, the basis of firesetting, and the assessment and treatment of violent men is internationally recognized for its scientific rigor. Her many published scholarly articles, chapters, and books have made an enormous contribution to progress in understanding and solving these important problems. As a scientist who is also a clinical psychologist, she is the epitome of the scientist-practitioner. SHORT Marnie E.

LONG A leading scholar of the medieval Islamic Middle East and North Africa, Professor Maya Shatzmiller has revolutionized our understanding of the social, economic, and legal foundations of Islamic societies. Internationally recognized as overturning received notions of monolithic rigidities, Shatzmiller has broken significant new ground in the history of work, women's involvement in economic affairs, and in Islamic legal and political practice. In numerous books and articles in English, French and Arabic, in scholarly presentations, and in teaching, Shatzmiller has conveyed the complexity of Islamic inheritances and their role in shaping modern multicultural societies.

LONG A senior academic administrator and an accomplished scholar, Dr. Tuohy throughout her career has made a signal contribution to our understanding of the politics and policy making of health-care reform in Western industrialized democracies. Concentrating particularly on the health-care systems in Canada, the United States and Britain, she offers a powerful account of how and why, despite similar pressures, each country has followed a distinctive path. Her work offers analysis of practical importance for health-policy specialists everywhere, and important theoretical insights for scholars engaged in the comparative study of welfare states under stress.

LONG Jorge Angeles has excelled in the theory and practice of kinematics and dynamics of multibody systems. In these areas his contributions span: a) fundamental concepts; b) computational algorithms; and c) design and implementation. His pioneer work on the singularity analysis of parallel robots, for example, broke ground in the understanding of the functioning of this kind of system, a paradigm of which is the familiar flight simulator, a.k.a. the "Stewart platform." Moreover, Angeles' work on the formulation of the mathematical models governing the dynamics of complex mechanical systems of multiple rigid and flexible bodies, using what he calls the natural orthogonal complement, has led to fast algorithms for robotics applications. While developing new concepts and new methods, Professor Angeles has succeeded in applying them to novel robotic manipulators and mechanical transmissions of which he has designed and commissioned various prototypes. Furthermore, Angeles has supervised or co-supervised 21 Ph.D. and 18 M.Eng. theses, besides a number of M.Eng. projects and B.Eng. Honors theses. The author of numerous journal papers and six books in the above research areas, Angeles is Past President of IFToMM, The International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science, Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering, besides being a Senior Member of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

LONG Henri Darmon is one of the top mathematicians of his generation in the world working on the arithmetic of elliptic curves. He has made striking and highly original contributions to the Iwasawa theory of elliptic curves in relation to the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. In particular, he has done deep work on the "main conjectures" relating special values of L-functions of elliptic curves to suitable lwasawa modules arising from descent theory, and has proved a "main conjecture" in the anti-cyclotomic case. His work uses deep and sophisticated ideas from p-adic arithmetic geometry. Henri Darmon's outstanding contributions to research have been recognized by numerous prizes and awards, including the E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship, the Coxeter-James Prize, the Aisenstadt Prize and the Ribenboim Prize.
