Originally published in 1904 and reprinted many times subsequently,
this book contains the ancient Greek text of Demosthenes' On the
Crown. The text is edited with a critical commentary by William
Watson Goodwin, and a detailed historical sketch of the speech's
context is supplied at the end. This book will be of value to
anyone with an interest in Demosthenes or the history of classical
scholarship.
The care and management of mentally disordered offenders poses a
major challenge to criminal justice agencies and psychiatric
services. These patients, ???the people nobody owns???, are
particularly vulnerable to political and professional change and as
psychiatric services become increasingly community-based, the task
of meeting the needs of the offender, as well as expectations of
public protection, becomes a more difficult prospect. This book
brings together the papers and a summary of the discussion
presented at a Cropwood Round Table conference organized by the
Institute of Criminology and the Department of Psychiatry of the
University of Cambridge. Seeking to define future needs and
directions in legal and service provisions, it includes
perspectives from the fields of criminology, sociology and social
psychiatry, and contributions from practitioners and
administrators. Remarkable for the tenacity and depth with which
the expert contributors address the problems, this is essential
reading for all professionals working in the psychiatric and
criminal justice systems with this frequently marginalized client
group. Through a searching examination of the situation within one
jurisdiction it points the way to service developments, improved
care management and research opportunities that have universal
applications.

This book is the first in a major three-volume series that will
survey China's immense wealth of art, architecture, and artifacts
from prehistoric times to the twentieth century. The Arts of China
to A.D. 900 investigates the beginnings of the traditions on which
much of the art rests, moving from Neolithic and Bronze Age China
to the era of the Tang Dynasty around A.D. 900. William Watson
discusses in lively detail a wide range of art forms and
techniques: porcelain and pottery, lacquer, religious and secular
painting and sculpture, mural painting, monumental sculpture and
architecture. He explains the materials and techniques of bronze
casting, jade carving, pottery manufacture, and other arts, and he
describes the most important sites, the artifacts that were
produced at each one, and the historical interactions between
different areas. He discusses the iconography, the technique and
the function of every art form. Written by one of the most
distinguished scholars in the field of Chinese art and archaeology,
this lavishly illustrated book will be a valuable resource for both
experts and beginners in the field.
