Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringThe Second World War was the most destructive conflict in history. It left Europe in ruins, its economies severely damaged and millions of its people facing malnutrition, its political systems shaken if not destroyed. Yet three decades later its economies had recovered; it largely appeared politically stable; its inhabitants generally were well housed and well fed. Then at the end of the 1980s, the postwar settlement disintegrated, and a new chapter in Europe''s postwar history had begun.In this Very Short introduction, Richard Bessel presents a clear, concise, informative account of Europe''s history between the end of the Second World War and roughly the end of the twentieth century. He explores the conditions in Europe at the end of the war, how political life took shape and societies were rebuilt, the impressive economic recovery, the Cold War division, the end of empire, and European cultural life. Bessel discusses how we might understand the beginnings and endings of the postwar era, and emphasises the importance of the experiences and actions of specific generations of Europeans. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Selected as a Book of the Year in the TLS and SpectatorIn 1979 Richard Bassett set out on a series of adventures and encounters in central Europe which allowed him to savour the last embers of the cosmopolitan old Hapsburg lands and gave him a ringside seat at the fall of another ancien regime, that of communist rule. From Trieste to Prague and Vienna to Warsaw, fading aristocrats, charming gangsters, fractious diplomats and glamorous informants provided him with an unexpected counterpoint to the austerities of life along the Iron Curtain, first as a professional musician and then as a foreign correspondent.The book shows us familiar events and places from unusual vantage points: dilapidated mansions and boarding-houses, train carriages and cafes, where the game of espionage between east and west is often set. There are unexpected encounters with Shirley Temple, Fitzroy Maclean, Lech Walesa and the last Empress of Austria. Bassett finds himself at the funeral of King Nicola of Montenegro in Cetinje, plays bridge with the last man alive to have been decorated by the Austrian Emperor Franz-Josef and watches the KGB representative in Prague bestowing the last rites on the Soviet empire in Europe.Music and painting, architecture and landscape, food and wine, friendship and history run through the book. The author is lucky, observant and leans romantically towards the values of an older age. He brilliantly conjures the time, the people he meets, and Mitteleuropa in one of the pivotal decades of its history.

Audiokniha: „Van der Kolk čerpá z třicetileté zkušenosti v oboru a dokazuje, že trauma je jednou z nejnaléhavějších otázek veřejného zdraví. Kniha plná vědeckých poznatků a lidských příběhů je intenzivním čtením a odolnost jeho pacientů dojímá.“ — New Scientist O knize Trauma nelze obejít. Jeho následky zažívají mnozí – možná vy, možná vaši blízcí. Vždy však ovlivňuje životy všech okolo. A není v silách trpícího, aby projevy v podobě depresí, chronických potíží, alkoholismu, sebepoškozování či pocitů studu a osamělosti zvládl bez pomoci. Bessel van der Kolk popisuje s laskavostí a otevřeností příběhy, s nimiž se setkal v klinické praxi, a dělí se o výsledky svých výzkumů v oblasti terapie posttraumatické poruchy. Prokázal jimi, že zanedbávané či zneužívané děti, účastníci nehod a katastrof, váleční veteráni či oběti násilných činů potřebují víc než medikamenty. Skutečné uzdravení vede přes hledání cesty k sobě samým, k vlastnímu tělu, které si v nekonečné smyčce udržuje otisk prožitého utrpení. I díky van der Kolkově práci se lze vydat na možná dlouhou, ale nadějnou cestu k lepšímu a plnějšímu životu. Mimo jiné se dozvíte: - Trauma negativně ovlivňuje tělo i mozek a mění schopnost zažívat radost, důvěru, ovládat se a vnímat své tělo. - V rozvoji vývojové traumatické poruchy hrají roli geny, hormony i rodičovská péče a láska v prvních letech života. - Sebedestruktivní chování je často vyvoláno snahou znovu cítit a získat kontrolu nad svým životem. - Projevy traumatu často dostávají nálepky nejrůznějších diagnóz, terapie je však neúčinná, pokud neřeší skutečnou podstatu potíží. - Trýznění lidé popírají realitu a oddělují se od ní, aby přežili. Přestávají tak chápat, kým jsou, co cítí a čemu a komu mohou důvěřovat. Autor své pacienty vybízí, aby se zapojili do libovolné formy práce s tělem, která napomáhá obnovení zdravého vztahu k sobě i k druhým. V knize proto najdete doporučení na inovativní léčebné postupy od metod neurofeedbacku přes meditaci až po sport, hudbu, jógu či kurzy herectví. Přístupným způsobem tak dává naději všem, kteří dosud trpěli. O autorovi BESSEL VAN DER KOLK (* 1943) Zakladatel a bývalý lékařský ředitel Kliniky pro léčbu traumatu v Brookline v Mas- sachusetts. Působí také jako profesor psychiatrie na Lékařské fakultě Bostonské univerzity a ředitel Národní sítě pro komplexní léčbu traumatu. Žije v Bostonu. #Řekli o knize „Kniha je plná moudrosti, lidskosti, soucitu a zasvěcených postřehů vycházejících z klinické praxe, výzkumu a poznání v oblasti traumatického stresu. Je to nezbytné čtení pro odborníky na duševní zdraví i zdravotní péči obecně, pro traumatizované lidi a jejich blízké. A také pro všechny, kteří hledají řešení zdravotních či sociálních problémů, s jejichž pomocí by naše společnost mohla vystoupit ze začarovaného kruhu traumatu a násilí.“ — Rachel Yehudová, profesorka v oboru psychiatrie a neurovědy působící na Lékařské fakultě Mount Sinai v New Yorku „Tělo skutečně sčítá rány. Van der Kolkova schopnost to doložit pomocí přesvědčivých příběhů, jeho průkopnické úsilí a zkušenosti s vývojem v oboru i jeho vlastní poznání, a především objevování cest, jak s lidmi účinně pracovat na základě všímavosti k tělu (stejně jako k myšlenkám a emocím) skrze jógu, pohyb a divadlo, znamenají pro svět terapie úžasný a vítaný závan čerstvého větru a možností.“ — Jon Kabat-Zinn, autor knihy Život samá pohroma Citace z knihy „Od počátku 90. let minulého století nám zobrazovací metody mozku umožnily vidět, co se v mozku traumatizovaných osob ve skutečnosti děje. Ukázalo se to jako nezbytnost k pochopení újmy způsobené traumatem a nasměrovalo nás to k vypracování zcela nových způsobů nápravy (…). Zjistili jsme, že trauma není jen určitá událost, která se odehrála v minulosti. Je to rovněž otisk této zkušenosti, který ulpěl v naší mysli, mozku a těle. Tento otisk trvale ovlivňuje způsob, jakým lidský organismus funguje, aby přežil v současnosti. Trauma zásadně mění způsob myšlení a zpracovávání vjemů mozkem. Mění nejen to, jak myslíme a na co myslíme, nýbrž i samotnou schopnost myšlení.“ Více se o knize dozvíte na adrese https://melvil.cz/telo-scita-rany

Trauma nelze obejít – ale lze ho pochopit a léčit. Ve své oceňované knize nabízí Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, přední světový odborník na trauma, hluboký vhled do podstaty posttraumatických potíží a cest k uzdravení. Více než tři desetiletí klinické praxe s oběťmi traumat mu umožnilo formulovat přístup, který dává naději nejen trpícím, ale i jejich blízkým a pečovatelům.Deprese, chronické bolesti, alkoholismus, sebepoškozování, obezita, stud a osamělost – následky traumatu mají mnoho podob a ovlivňují nejen jednotlivce, ale celé jejich okolí. Van der Kolk s empatií popisuje příběhy pacientů i výsledky svých výzkumů a dokládá, že skutečné uzdravení vyžaduje víc než léky. Cesta vede skrze znovunavázání kontaktu se sebou samým a vlastním tělem, které si nese otisk prožitého utrpení.V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: Prožité trauma mění fungování mozku, schopnost ovládat se, zažívat radost, potěšení a důvěru. Vývojová traumata jsou ovlivněna geny, hormony i ranou rodičovskou péčí. Traumata často maskují psychiatrické diagnózy – terapie musí řešit jejich skutečný původ. Sebe-destruktivní chování je často zoufalým pokusem znovu cítit a získat kontrolu nad vlastním životem. Trýznění lidé se často odpojují od reality, což narušuje jejich identitu i schopnost důvěřovat. Výběr terapeuta je klíčový – kdy zapojit zvířecí asistenci, například psího parťáka? Druhá část knihy se věnuje inovativním přístupům v léčbě traumatu. Autor doporučuje práci s tělem jako prostředek k obnově zdravého vztahu k sobě i ostatním. Najdete zde metody jako: neurofeedback, hypnóza, meditace jóga, tanec, sport, hudba psaní, herecké kurzy a další tvůrčí formy vyjádření Trauma zažíváme všichni – je součástí lidského bytí. Ale cesta k uzdravení existuje. A právě tato kniha je její spolehlivý a laskavý průvodce.„Přečtěte si životní příběh kteréhokoli vizionáře – Oprah Winfreyové, Mayi Angelouové, Nelsona Mandely nebo Elieho Wiesela – a naleznete v něm zkušenost s traumatem, která utvářela jejich sílu a odvahu měnit svět.“

Tracing the dissemination of Secessionist ideas of child creativity – from their origination in early-20th century Vienna through to their eventual commodification in postwar America – this book highlights the central role that visual art has played in child education and in nurturing creativity in elementary and preschool curricula.Taking the reader through the ideas of three artistic visionaries and their students; Franz Cižek, and Austrian-American émigrés Emmy Zweybrück and Viktor Löwenfeld, the author reveals how these ideas developed in postwar America through a focus on child-centered methods of ''learning by doing'' in artistic practice. By centring the visual arts as a vital educational medium, we see how these teachings have been popularized as a means of nurturing creativity in childhood.Across three chapter length case-studies, interspersed with three ''mini chapters'' on the reception of each artist-educator''s radical teachings in the American education system, the book provides new interpretations into the impact of these three luminaries'' differing philosophies on a broader program of socio-political activism in the USA. Drawing on previously untapped archival and primary source materials, it blends deep material culture analysis with narrative elements to present a compelling account of the unrecognized influence of émigré art pedagogy on progressive, international art education. In doing so, it provides fresh transregional and thematic perspectives on early-1900s Vienna as a hotbed of creative and cultural experimentation and ''mecca'' of progressive art education.

WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY TIMOTHY GARTON-ASHA magisterial and acclaimed history of post-war Europe, from Germany to Poland, from Western Europe to Eastern Europe, selected as one of New York Times Ten Best Books of the YearEurope in 1945 was drained. Much of the continent was devastated by war, mass slaughter, bombing and chaos. Large areas of Eastern Europe were falling under Soviet control, exchanging one despotism for another. Today, the Soviet Union is no more and the democracies of the European Union reach as far as the borders of Russia itself. Postwar tells the rich and complex story of how we got from there to here, demystifying Europe''s recent history and identity, of what the continent is and has been.‘It is hard to imagine how a better - and more readable - history of the emergence of today''s Europe from the ashes of 1945 could ever be written…All in all, a real masterpiece’ Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler‘[Judt] dares to expound the sum total of Europe since 1945 in a seamless narrative… This is history-writing with a human face, as well as with brainpower’ Norman Davies, Guardian‘Brilliant… Judt has written the standard reference work on European post-war history. It will provoke fruitful debate, but I find it hard to imagine that it will ever be surpassed.’Misha Glenny, Irish Times

How did the great European dream turn sour? And where do we go from here?From the author of the internationally acclaimed In Europe, a stunning history of our present, examining the first two decades of this most fragile and fraught new millennium.The great European project was built out of a common desire for peace, prosperity and freedom; a wish for a united Europe striving towards a common goal. The EU was to set an example: an arena for close cooperation, tackling crucial shared concerns from climate change to organized crime, promoting open borders and social security.But the first two turbulent decades of this century have been times of rapid and profound change. From the shores of Lampedusa to Putin's Moscow, the continent threatens to tear itself apart. What's happened to Europe's optimism and euphoria? How has it given way to nostalgia, frustration and fear, the fragile European dream in danger of turning into a nightmare?In The Dream of Europe, Geert Mak, one of Europe's best-loved commentators, charts the seismic events that have shaped people's lives over the past twenty years. Mak's monumental book In Europe defined the continent on the verge of a new millennium. The Dream of Europe brings us up to the present day, through the rocky expansion of the EU, the aftermath of 9/11 and terrorist attacks across Europe, the 2008 financial crash and the euro crisis, the tragedy of the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean, the rise of right-wing populism and Brexit.Like no other, Mak blends history, politics and culture with the stories and experiences of the many Europeans he meets on his travels. He brings this continent to life, and asks what role does Europe play now, and how might we face our challenges together, in the spirit of solidarity and connection.

The remarkable history of the women who worked for Special Operations Executive across occupied Europe  In the wake of the Nazi invasion of Europe, the tentative sparks of resistance in occupied countries were fanned by Britain’s Special Operations Executive. Across the continent, SOE recruited women to “set Europe ablaze.” Working as secret agents and saboteurs, these individuals bolstered resistance from within and provided much needed support and weapons. F Section’s actions in France are renowned, and today some operatives have become household names. But what happened to the women who worked outside France and those who were locally recruited?  In this gripping account, Kate Vigurs tells the stories of the lesser-known women who worked across Europe, from the Netherlands to Belgium and Poland to Denmark. She explores too the lives of Jewish agents recruited in Mandate Palestine for missions in Eastern Europe. These are stories of trial and error, escape and even execution. Mission Europe examines why women were recruited, analysing their successes and contributions—and celebrates the ordinary women who did extraordinary things.

Geert Mak spent the year 1999 criss-crossing the continent, tracing the history of Europe from Verdun to Berlin, St Petersburg to Auschwitz, Kiev to Srebrenica. He set off in search of evidence and witnesses, looking to define the condition of Europe at the verge of a new millennium. The result is mesmerising: Mak's rare double talent as a sharp-eyed journalist and a hugely imaginative historian makes In Europe a dazzling account of that journey, full of diaries, newspaper reports and memoirs, and the voices of prominent figures and unknown players; from the grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II to Adriana Warno in Poland, with her holiday job at the gates of the camp at Birkenau. But Mak is above all an observer. He describes what he sees at places that have become Europe's well-springs of memory, where history is written into the landscape. At Ypres he hears the blast of munitions from the Great War that are still detonated twice a day. In Warsaw he finds the point where the tram rails that led to the Jewish ghetto come to a dead end in a city park. And in an abandoned creche near Chernobyl, where tiny pairs of shoes still stand in neat rows, he is transported back to the moment time stood still in the dying days of the Soviet Union. Mak combines the larger story of twentieth-century Europe with details that suddenly give it a face, a taste and a smell. His unique approach makes the reader an eyewitness to his own half-forgotten past, full of unknown peculiarities, sudden insights and touching encounters. In Europe is a masterpiece; it reads like the epic novel of the continent's most extraordinary century.

In the years immediately after World War II, Europe produced a bewildering array of experimental aircraft - ''X-Planes'' - testing new aerodynamic ideas and the potential of jet propulsion. These exciting machines are detailed in the bestselling book X-Planes of Europe: Secret Research Aircraft from the Golden Age 1946-1974.This essential second volume continues the European X-Plane story, covering those aircraft designed to apply newfound technologies and techniques to the military frontline. X-Planes of Europe II details the demonstrator aircraft built to explore jet power, supersonic performance, variable-geometry wings and many other innovations for combat aircraft. It discusses the many prototype military aircraft that never made it to production and passed into history. Most famous of these may be the controversial BAC TSR.2, while other prototypes led to outstanding, successful service aircraft - such as the Hawker P.1052 and P.1081 that preceded the Hunter, and English Electric''s P.1, predecessor of the Lightning. Delving deeply into contemporary journals and company, museum and national archives, author Tony Buttler has researched these rare and important aircraft ranging from well-known aircraft - the de Havilland DH.110 and Short Sperrin for example - to the esoteric, including Yugoslavia''s Ikarus projects and Spain''s Hispano HA-300. He also examines the prodigious output of the French aerospace industry, which created an amazing series of military aircraft prototypes varying from the ill-conceived to the world class.Complimented with previously unseen archive photography, detailed specifications, manufacturer''s drawings and colour artwork, X-Planes of Europe II is the logical and complete companion to the acclaimed X-Planes of Europe and offers a new and exciting perspective on Europe''s military aircraft innovation throughout the Cold War years.

Who will defend Europe? The answer should be obvious: Europe should be able to defend itself. Yet, for decades, most of the continent enjoyed a defence holiday, outsourcing protection to the United States while banking an increasingly illusory ‘peace dividend’. Now, after three decades of reducing armed forces and drawing down defence industries, Europe finds itself close to unprotected—while Russia is intent on continuing its war of expansion, and the US is distracted and divided.In this urgent, vital book, Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe. He explains how the West’s unwillingness to confront Russia has nurtured the threat, and that Putin’s ambition puts the whole continent at risk. He assesses the role and deficiencies of NATO as a guarantor of hard security, and whether the EU or coalitions of the willing can fill the gap. Above all, Giles emphasises the need for new leadership in defence of the free world after the US has stepped aside— and warns that the UK’s brief moment of setting the pace for Europe has already been squandered.

New from Bradt is The Holocaust: Europe''s Sites, Museums and Memorials, a unique travel guidebook to European locations that tell the story of the greatest crime ever perpetrated - the Nazi genocide of 6 million Jews and other persecuted groups.In recent years countries once reluctant to delve into the dark corners of their past have begun to document the history of the Holocaust and its aftermath. Europe has many new ground-breaking museums and memorials that tell us as much about the present as they do the past. Chapters are dedicated to each country or region occupied by Nazi Germany, plus nations like the UK and neutral Sweden, which played a vital role both before and after the Holocaust.Organised around city hubs in each country, this Bradt guide helps visitors explore numerous destinations, whether infamous, well known or comparatively unexpected. This is much, much more than a guide to notorious sites such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buchenwald or Dachau. You can take a walking tour in Vienna, to view the new wall of names. Or visit the Memorial des Martyrs de la Deportation in Paris, Anne Frank House in Amsterdam or the Jewish Museum in Ferrara. And you can learn how babies were smuggled out of the Kovno ghetto in potato sacks in Lithuania or read about Bavaria''s Kloster Indersdorf, a remarkable children''s home that cared for survivors.Written by a journalist and travel writer specialising in Jewish history, Bradt''s The Holocaust: Europe''s Sites, Museums and Memorials provides the traveller with not only a list of must-see sites in each country but also a comprehensive list of organisations that run tours, commemorations and volunteer schemes. Suggestions of where to eat and stay (including Kosher restaurants and hotels) ease the traveller''s way, as do descriptions of local Jewish organisations and tips on how to pace potentially difficult journeys into Europe''s dark past. Bradt''s The Holocaust: Europe''s Sites, Museums and Memorials is the first comprehensive travel guide to the genocide and the first to help the traveller understand the Holocaust by seeing the places where it unfurled.

King Richard III remains one of the most controversial figures in British history. Matthew Lewis’s new biography aims to become a definitive account by exploring what is known of his childhood and the impacts it had on his personality and view of the world. He would be cast into insecurity and exile only to become a royal prince before his tenth birthday.As Richard spends his teenage years under the watchful gaze of his older brother, Edward IV, he is eventually placed in the household of their cousin, the Earl of Warwick, remembered as the Kingmaker; but as the relationship between a king and his most influential magnate breaks down, Richard is compelled to make a choice when the House of York fractures. After another period in exile, Richard returns to become the most powerful nobleman in England. The work he involves himself in during the years that follow demonstrates a drive and commitment but also a dangerous naïveté.When crisis hits in 1483, it is to Richard that his older brother turns on his death bed. The events of 1483 remain contentious and hotly debated, but by understanding the Richard who began that year, it will become clearer what drove some of his actions and decisions. Returning to primary sources and considering the evidence available, this new life undoes the myths and presents a real man living in tumultuous times.

Russia is intent on attacking beyond Ukraine. Can Europe defend itself?While Ukraine holds back Russia’s onslaught, Moscow has been working hard at rebuilding its army for the next invasion. But for the past 30 years, Britain and Europe have been running down their armed forces and defence industries, thinking that war would never come.Most of the continent banked an increasingly illusory ‘peace dividend’ while outsourcing defence to the United States. Now, change in the US and clear intent from the Kremlin have set Europe scrambling to rebuild its defences. But will it be enough, and can it be in time?In this urgent, vital book, Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe.If the freedom and prosperity that the continent takes for granted are to be preserved, the sacrifices required will affect everyone, without exception.

Eleventh-century Europe was diverse and fast-changing. Historians have often debated this change through two sets of competing arguments, one about the shifting role of the Church and the Papacy, and the other about the rise of castellan lords and a proliferation in violence. Yet these arguments about ''Church Reform'' and ''Feudal Revolution'' only really apply to one part of Europe, the Latin West. This book takes its cue from contemporary perceptions of Europe, and includes Byzantium (or East Rome) and Muslim al-Andalus in scope. In doing so, it presents a new perspective on Europe in the period. Its chapters assess different scales of action and interaction within this wide space. They take from the reader from the peasants living in small village settlements, via the great city of Constantinople, the taifa emirates, kingdoms from Ireland to Hungary, and the two universal empires, up to contemporary ideas, cosmologies, and representations of the wider world. Viewed in this broad setting, the Latin West''s remarkable expansion during this period, dramatically illustrated by the First Crusade at the century''s end, can best be understood as the poorly controlled overspilling of internal dynamics, as the established public order was disrupted. Elsewhere in Europe, existing structures proved more resilient and better able to accommodate internal economic and social development, though remaining vulnerable to aggression from outside.

V Toulkách s Puff, kde Richard Bach popisuje svoji cestu z Floridy do Washingtonu malým hydroplánem pokřtěným Puff, navazuje autor nejen na tradici Johna Steinbecka a jeho Toulek s Charliem, ale také na svůj vlastní bestseller s názvem Iluze. Richard Bach, autor světoznámého bestselleru Jonathan Livingston Racek, který se udržel dva roky na první příčce žebříčku New York Times (prodalo se 40 miliónů výtisků), havaroval na rozjezdové dráze při startu svého malého, amatérsky postaveného vodního letounu. Stalo se to den poté, co dokončil svoji novou knihu Touky s Puff, v níž vypráví příběh právě o tomto letadle a dobrodružstvích, co v něm zažil. Se svým pověstným humorem, moudrostí a bohatými zkušenostmi pilota zpochybňuje naše vžité představy o osudu a budoucnosti. Můžeme najít bezpečí? A je bezpečí opravdu vždy to, po čem nejvíc toužíme? Richard David Bach (* 23. června 1936 v Oak Park, Illinois, USA), pilot, letecký mechanik a spisovatel se proslavil především bestsellerem Jonathan Livingston Racek z roku 1970 a filmem, jenž byl na jeho náměty natočen. V jeho knihách se často objevuje jeho láska k letectví, jež je jeho koníčkem od 17 let a kterému se věnuje dodnes. Richard Bach je autorem řady beletristických i faktických prací, kromě Jonathana Livingstona Racka jsou to např. Iluze (1977), Most přes navždy (1978), Nikdo není daleko (1979), Jediný (1988), série Knih fretek (2002-2005) ad. Většina jeho děl je částečně autobiografická a prostřednictvím aktuálních nebo snových témat ilustruje svoji filosofii.

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER A WATERSTONES POLITICS PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR, 2018 The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society.This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel’s U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent’s death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves?He ends with two visions of Europe – one hopeful, one pessimistic – which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.

Richard III is one of the finest of Shakespeare’s historical dramas. Although it has a huge cast, Richard himself, gleefully wicked, charismatically Machiavellian, always dominates the play: a role to gratify such leading actors as David Garrick, Laurence Olivier, Anthony Sher, Ian McKellen and Al Pacino. Since, in real life, political Machiavellianism is never out of date, Richard III remains perennially topical. Numerous revivals on stage and screen have demonstrated the enduring cogency of this drama about the lethally corrupting quest for power.Richard III is the twenty-first play in the Wordsworth Classics’ Shakespeare Series. The Times Literary Supplement says: ‘Many students and ordinary readers will be grateful to Watts and his publishers for making such useful editions available at such low cost.’

‘Thames & Hudson’s new, affordable, covetable ‘Pocket Perspectives’: beautifully illustrated essays by canonical writers’ Financial Times A manifesto for the future of architectural practice and the necessity of good design to modern life, by renowned British architect Richard Rogers. Written in what architect Richard Rogers regarded as a moment of crisis in modern architecture, this essay considers how the way we build – and live – might change for the better. Poor design, monotony and inhuman scale are, Roger argues, not the results of a lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern Movement, but of a surrender to exploitative economic systems and inconsiderate business interests. Best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the Lloyd's building and Millennium Dome in London, Rogers was perhaps the most original and inventive architect of his time, and was a frequent commentator on the contemporary scene. As a practitioner, he was in the best position possible to appreciate how economic forces can create – or frustrate – good design. A succinct summary of his design philosophies, Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture continues to be a powerful manifesto.

A landmark study of the history of male-male sex in early modern Europe, including the European colonies and the Ottoman world.Until quite recently, the history of male-male sexual relations was a taboo topic. But when historians eventually explored the archives of Florence, Venice and elsewhere, they brought to light an extraordinary world of early modern sexual activity, extending from city streets and gardens to taverns, monasteries and Mediterranean galleys. Typically, the sodomites (as they were called) were adult men seeking sex with teenage boys. This was something intriguingly different from modern homosexuality: the boys ceased to be desired when they became fully masculine. And the desire for them was seen as natural; no special sexual orientation was assumed.The rich evidence from Southern Europe in the Renaissance period was not matched in the Northern lands; historians struggled to apply this new knowledge to countries such as England or its North American colonies. And when good Northern evidence did appear, from after 1700, it presented a very different picture. So the theory was formed - and it has dominated most standard accounts until now - that the ''emergence of modern homosexuality'' happened suddenly, but inexplicably, at the beginning of the eighteenth century.Noel Malcolm''s masterly study solves this and many other problems, by doing something which no previous scholar has attempted: giving a truly pan-European account of the whole phenomenon of male-male sexual relations in the early modern period. It includes the Ottoman Empire, as well as the European colonies in the Americas and Asia; it describes the religious and legal norms, both Christian and Muslim; it discusses the literary representations in both Western Europe and the Ottoman world; and it presents a mass of individual human stories, from New England to North Africa, from Scandinavia to Peru. Original, critical, lucidly written and deeply researched, this work will change the way we think about the history of homosexuality in early modern Europe.
