Increasing specialisation in pathology reflects the progressive
changes in medical practise. The advent of a specialist with a new
interest in a hospital or clinic may present the pathologist with a
need to extend his or her knowledge to be able to work closely with
the clinical practi tioner in order to provide adequate clinical
care. Some sub-specialisations are long established, such a one is
neu ropathology. However, an exclusive specialist practise is
generally con fined to neurosurgical centres and much
neuropathology is of necessity, executed by geneni.l pathologists.
The areas covered by this volume are those which are commonly
managed by the generalist. Professor Adams' account of how the
skull and brain should be examined here will give confidence to
many by defining a good technique and the careful description of
various kinds of vascular injury lesions resulting from raised
intracranial pressure will help to clarify repeated difficulty.
More subtle forms of damage are also considered in detail.
Professor Weller provides a detailed account of how the central
nervous system may be examined in a way which permits all of us to
prepare material which will allow adequate investigation of central
nervous system disease and the proper examination of peripheral
nerves. This chapter will become a "handbook" and will be of
interest to those in training and established practitioners. Muscle
biopsy is also dealt with; this is an area of investigative concern
for many gener alists. The role of that singular neuropathological
technique is very clearly emphasized.

The 12th International Conference for Nubian Studies was held at
the British Museum, London, from 1st-6th August 2010. The
conference, held every four years, is the only international
gathering of archaeologists and scholars from associated
disciplines which considers all aspects of Sudan and southern
Egypt's ancient and more recent past. The main sessions, and main
papers published herein, were devoted to a consideration of the
Merowe Dam Archaeological Salvage Project, its aftermath and
impact. Over the previous decade this has been the major focus of
archaeological activity on the Middle Nile. The dam is now complete
and the reservoir is full drawing a line under the fieldwork
component of the project. It was felt timely, therefore, in the
interim to obtain an overview of what was found during the many
years of intensive work and the first main paper speaker in each
session sought to do just that. They were followed by reports on
sites, categories of objects and more thematic papers arranged
broadly by period. These highlight that, while the focus of
archaeological activity still remains in the Nile Valley where
there is the densest concentration of sites and also where there
remains the most concentrated threat to their survival, much work
is being undertaken away from the river and in some cases outside
its catchment area. The role of the deserts is increasingly being
appreciated while the role of the savannah and areas even further
south has yet to be given the prominence that it probably deserves.
