Portrait of Liszt
Franz Liszt has been described as "one of the most wonderful human beings that have ever lived, and one of the greatest and most original artists of the nineteenth century." Born in Hungary in 1811, at the very moment when the Great Comet blazed most brillantly in the heavens, he rapidly achieved fame as a phenomenally gifted pianist, and in the course of his long life, which ended in 1886, he travelled extensively through Europe. So extraordinary was the enthusiasm--indeed, adulation--with which his magical playing and fascinating personality were received, that it promped Heinrich Heine to coin the term "Lisztomania." Williams presents extracts from the diaries, letters, and reminiscences of Liszt's contemporaries that describe his bewitching playing and magnetic personality, along with newspaper reviews and passages from Liszt's own letters and writings. What emerges is not only a uniquely comprehensive and extremely readable look at one of the most prodigiously gifted of all musicians, but also an absorbing picture of the rich musical tapestry and cultural life of nineteenth century Europe.
Politics of the New Zealand Maori
This book " ... analyses Maori protest movements from 1891 to 1909, a crucial era in Maori history ... Defeated militarily in the 1860s, by 1890 the Maoris had accepted the permanence of that defeat and thereafter became more articulate, more united, and more effective in their use of political techniques. Unable to rely completely on their greatly outnumbered representatives in the national parliament, they developed organisations of their own which combined European political techniques with traditional leadership and social values. Williams asks "What were the Maoris' goals and how successful were they in achieving them?" Exploring these questions he shows how a conquered people acquired a voice in determining the disposition of their land, and in deciding how and to what extent they would be assimilated into the society that enveloped them."--Back cover.
Emily's Choice: A Regency Romance
Eighteen-year-old Emily Lawrence believed that her life was simple and that the most difficult thing she would face in her life would be to convince her cousin and companion, Rosalind, to have more courage.

Emily's father forbids her from having anything to do with the man, but when an unexpected illness throws her into Mr. Williams company, Emily finds that obeying her father is more difficult than she imagined. Emily struggles to understand why her father is so insistent on the matter. What happened eight years ago, when the Williams' left the estate? Is it a coincidence that Emily's mother died at the exact same time? "This charming tale has a feisty heroine that could give Elizabeth Bennett a run for her money."

Transdermal and Topical Drug Delivery from Theory to Clinical Practice
The therapeutic benefits of administering drugs through the skin have been recognized for many years and have been capitalized upon in commercially successful and important transdermal delivery systems, such as estradiol patches for hormone replacement and nicotine patches as aids to smoking cessation. Transdermal and Topical Drug Delivery addresses all aspects of how to deliver drugs to the skin for local effects or across the skin for systemic therapy. Starting with a discussion of the principles underlying the area, the text expands into strategies used to deliver drugs effectively. This should be a valuable practical guide for the clinical delivery of drugs.
Birth to Reunion
The Pieces of Mind were a popular group, from Newport, South Wales in the 1960s. This book looks at my early life; how I started playing guitars in groups, in the early 60s and went on to form the Pieces of Mind, in 1963, with a childhood friend. 50 years later, in 2013, I organised a reunion of most of the group members who played in the different versions of the group. The trials and tribulations I faced, in the months leading up to the gig, were outweighed by the extreme pleasure I got in seeing all my old friends playing on stage to numerous other old friends in the packed audience.
Art and Analysis
This edition is an introductory selection from the writings of Adrian Stokes (1902-1972), the Kleinian aesthete who created a unique vision of the relation between psychoanalysis, art, and aesthetic experience in general. His approach was founded initially on his travels in Italy which then acquired a more formal theoretical foundation during his analysis with Melanie Klein. Stokes was a close friend of leading figures in both psychoanalytic and artistic-literary circles, including Richard Wollheim who organised a previous edition of extracts, The Image in Form. The present edition concentrates specifically on the writing that demonstrates the parallels between art and psychoanalysis.
