COLONY AND MOTHER CITY IN ANCIENT GREECE by A. B. GRAHAM. Preface:
The first part of the book is to a description of Greek and tices
regarding the actual founding of a colony, about which there appear
to have been general fixed principles. He then goes on to consider
the subsequent relations between the colony its mother city. The
author discusses the genera! batU M which links were formed between
city and colony, involving such questions as mutual citizenship and
religious con nections. He also considers the variations found In
the relationships caused by such factors as distance and the power
and ambitions of the mother city. As a synthesis which presents and
discusses material widely spread in place and time, much of It
previously accessible only to specialists, this book should become
both the standard general treat ment of the subject and the basis
for future studies of this aspect of Greek colonization. Contents

The continuing battle to control hospital infections has ranged from the earliest days of hospital care when bad air or miasma was thought to be the cause, to the present day emergence of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" such as MRSA and necrotizing fasciitis. This social history of hospital care surveys the rise, fall and re-emergence of new nosocomial infections and documents the development of medical microbiology and infection control.
A. J. Ayer was one of the foremost analytical philosophers of
the twentieth century, and was known as a brilliant and engaging
speaker. In essays based on his influential Dewey Lectures, Ayer
addresses some of the most critical and controversial questions in
epistemology and the philosophy of science, examining the nature of
inductive reasoning and grappling with the issues that most
concerned him as a philosopher. This edition contains revised and
expanded versions of the lectures and two additional essays.
Ayer begins by considering Hume's formulation of the problem of
induction and then explores the inferences on which we base our
beliefs in factual matters. In other essays, he defines the three
kinds of probability that inform inductive reasoning and examines
the various criteria for verifiability and falsifiability. In his
extensive introduction, Graham Macdonald discusses the arguments in
"Probability and Evidence," how they relate to Ayer's other works,
and their influence in contemporary philosophy. He also provides a
brief biographical sketch of Ayer, and includes a bibliography of
works about and in response to "Probability and Evidence."

This publication deals with the archaeological and documentary
evidence for mans' activities in Binsted and Kingsley
(Hampshire/Surrey, S. England) during this period between the last
Ice Age and the post-medieval period. An interim publication on the
Alice Holt Roman potteries contains a short section on the
contemporary landscape, accompanied by a rather rudimentary map of
the distribution of Roman sites in Binsted and Kingsley parishes
between Alton and the Hampshire/Surrey county boundary in
north-east Hampshire. The ten years following this publication saw
an intensive programme of landscape study in order to explore and
understand the changing pattern of human settlement and land
utilisation within the area over the last 10000 years or so.
Conclusions of the current research reported in this volume are
based on seven years of field-walking between 1981 and 1988, as
well as some carried out during the early 1970s. All but about half
a dozen of the arable fields within the 42 square kilometres of
land encompassed by the two parishes were walked and most of the
permanent pasture and woodland was also examined. This fieldwork
was backed up by the survey of a number of vernacular buildings
dating from before AD 1300 to c. AD 1700. Five flights were also
carried out between 1981 and 1983 for the purpose of air
photography. Excavations were carried out on Alice Holt Roman
pottery waste dumps and other sites of all periods in and around
the forest.
