World Archaeology was established specifically to deal with archaeology on a world-wide multiperiod basis. Thirty years after it was founded it remains a leader in its field. The first three of the year's quarterly issues are each dedicated to a particular theme of current interest. The fourth issue, Debates in World Archaeology, is a forum for debate, discussion and comment. All papers adopt a broad comparative approach, looking at important issues on a global scale. The members of the editorial board and the advisory board represent a wide range of interests and expertise and this ensures that the papers published in World Archaeology cover a wide variety of subject areas. Recent issues illustrate the variety of material published in World Archaeology and have included volumes dedicated to new developments in archaeological science, the application of social theory to archaeology, the archaeology of art and major syntheses of such important topics as trade and exchange. Future issues will range just as widely. Back issues of World Archaeology are available through JSTOR Recent Issues: * The Archaeology of Buildings * The Archaeology of Water * The Archaeology of Caves, Shelters and the Deep Karst * Tradition * Elemental Archaeologies * Experimental Archaeology 'World Archaeology is a pleasure to read, in two senses; layout and typeface are particularly easy on the eye, while the articles are clearly and attractively written, usually without waffle or jargon. World Archaeology has carved out a place for itself as one of the very few British archaeological journals since Antiquity to have adopted a truly international approach to the subject, covering all periods, areas and aspects of the human past. Its unique thematic design should ensure that its importance will be maintained for decades to come'.

The importance of VAT/GST in all the leading developing nations cannot be overestimated. The volume of case law and legislation pertaining to VAT has grown enormously in recent years, with a corresponding increase in interest in VAT among practising lawyers, policy-makers and academic commentators. It is therefore all the more surprising that hitherto VAT has not been the subject of the sustained attention that a Journal is able to provide. It is with this in mind that an international team of experts assembled to provide a forum for the systematic analysis of current developments in VAT law. The Journal is intended to become the primary source of informed comment and analysis among European practitioners and scholars, and a vital source of information and discussion at the international level.  It will become an essential resource for leading accountancy and law firms, scholars of VAT and tax law in Europe and worldwide, European institutions, national tax courts, and practising lawyers specialising in this area.
