career days; and science projects undertaken with Scout troops. Churches that received grants from the competition varied in denomination, geographical region, and the size of the communityserved. Among the cities represented are Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Churches in smaller towns in several states also received grants; eight Louisiana towns in addition to New Orleans won awards, for example. For a list of the grants or more information about the Project, write or call Audrey Daniel, Dara Prout, or Treopia Washington, AAAS Directorate for Education and Human Resources, 1333 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005, 202-326-6670.

Funded by the Ford Founda- tion, the AAAS Black Church Project promotes education in science, mathematics, and com- puters within the black community.The project conducted a matching mini-grants competition to encourage churches and nonprofit groups working with them to sponsor programs in their region.Applicants could request up to $500 for programs that would serve preschool chil- dren, K-12 students, and their parents or guardians.Types of programs that the applicants proposed are workshops for teachers to develop science and mathematics classroom strate- gies; field trips to science muse- ums, zoos, aquariums, and bo- tanical gardens; math and science career days; and science projects undertaken with Scout troops.

Malaria Strategies for Africa
Eighty percent of the 100 million cases of malaria world- wide each year occur in Africa.Several factors, including ur- banization ofthe African popu- lation, resistance ofparasites to drugs, and lack of eradication efforts, contribute to the prob- lem.
The AAAS Sub-Saharan Africa Program, under a coopera- tive agreement with the Agency for International Development, is undertaking a yearlong project to provide expertise and develop strategies to combat malaria in Africa.In identfying control strategies, AAAS is using knowledge within its affiliated societies to review sociocultural, economic, and behavioral factors; environmental and urban- ization issues; health care delivery systems; and natural science ap- plications for malaria prevention and control.AAAS is maintaining liaisonwith the appropriate U.S. and international health organi- zations.The project requires col- laboration with African scientist, to benefit from their firsthand ex- perience, and will strengthen African scientific and technological capacity, contributing to the sustainability of regional pro- grams.
AAAS is organizing an intema- tional workshop on malaria strat- egies, to be convened in spring 1991 in Africa.Participants, pri- marily African specialists, will weigh recommendations for action to be incorporated into a widely distributed report.For further information, please con- tact AAAS Sub-Saharan African

Health Treatment for Torture Survivors
Based on the proceedings from two AAAS symposia, Health Services for the Treatment of Torture and Trauma Survivors presents information on health care programs for persons who have suffered from traumatic human rights violations.The edited volume contains ten pa- pers by health professionals in the field describing the problem of torture, efforts to document in- juries, and the climate in which professionals provide help.It contrasts therapeutic approaches adopted by those who assist refu- gees with approaches used where torture and human rights viola- tions are a continuing threat.The report concludes with an international directory of clinics and centers in 13 countries where these health services are offered.The report is available for $8 (prepaid orders only) from the AAAS Directorate for Science and PolicyPrograms, 1333 H Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20005.

Chaos Rampant
AAAS is publishing The Ubiquity of Chaos, edited by Saul Krasner ($24.95 for AAAS members, $31.50 others, prepaid orders from AAAS Books, Box 753, Waldorf, MD 20604;   California residents, add applicable tax).The discovery of random, chaotic solutions to deterministic laws ofnature has ignited interest in the study of nonlinear dynamics.While such solutions should be predictable, a certain nonlinearity in the laws governing them makes them so sensitive to initial conditions that they exhibit statistical behavior.With the advent of sufficient computer power, it has been found that behind this random- ness lies beauty and structural symmetry.This volume, forth- coming in late September, presents results ofinvestigations of chaos mathematics in areas such as physiology and medicine, economics, world affairs, fluid and celestial mechanics, and quantum systems.
