Over the past decade there have been major advances in the management of patients with craniofacial trauma. These have been fuelled by new c oncepts and techniques arising from the elective repair of congenital craniofaciald deformities, and also by the increase in survival after trauma, due to improved resuscitation techniques. More radical approac hes to complex problems have been achieved by multidisciplinary teams, with close collaboration between the neurosurgeon, maxillofacial surg eon, otorhinolaryngologist, opthalmic, plastic, and accident and emerg ency surgeon.

The analysis results in the first integrated, holistic institutional reconstruction of Greece's first...

Western democracies often trace their political roots back to Ancient Greece.

Political life was not limited to acts of a legislature, magistrates, and the courts but routinely included the activities of social clubs, the patronage system, and expression through literature, art, and architecture. Through these varied means, even non-enfranchised groups (such as women and non-citizens) gained entry into a wider democratic...
