Archaeology was called upon to perform a crucial role in forging a new identity for Greece based on the antiquity of Hellas. This idiosyncratic approach combined the rationality of Western epis...

Gazing through the lens of my camera there is always a moment when an object reveals itself to you in its true nature. It is a fragile moment that, if I'm not careful, is over in the blink of an eye. Such a moment manifested itself while I stared at the silver surface of one Thalia's objects. It was an afternoon when a sudden shift in the clouds summoned a cold wintry light. As the light reflected on the plate's surface it suddenly illuminated with graphic fierceness, what seemed like a minimal skin, revealing a second world within the object. From this moment I began to...

Η παρούσα μελέτη πραγματεύεται το θέμα της χωρικής κατανομής του εισοδήματος ξεφεύγοντας από το σύνηθες σχήμα των νομών ή διοικητικών περιφερειών. Επί τούτου, προβαίνει στην χωρική απεικόνιση των τοπικών εισοδηματικών στοιχείων της χώρας σε επίπεδο 895 δήμων/κοινοτήτων και ταχυδρομικών τομέων. Στη συνέχεια επιχειρείται η οικονομετρική ανάλυση των μέσων δηλωθέντων τοπικών εισοδημάτων η οποία επιτρέπει: - την απομόνωση των επιδράσεων των χωρικών ιδιαιτεροτήτων από δημογραφικά και άλλα χαρακτηριστικά (λ.χ., την πληθυσμιακή πυκνότητα, τη δημογραφική και εκπαι- δευτική σύνθεσ...

To a significant extent, this book has attempted to examine just how and why Papandreou's government consistently adopted and advocated an Arab policy at odds with its western allies both inside the EEC and NATO. As shown in the early part of this book even prior to coming to power in 1981 Papandreou had promised to make improved relations with the Mediterranean region, and in particular the Arab world, a priority of any future PASOK goverment. In the immediate wake of his 1981 election victory he lived up to these promises and quickly embraced the Arab world in the hope th...
