Beginning in 1789, this period of extreme political and social unrest saw the end of the French monarchy, the death of an extraordinary number of people beneath the guillotine''s blade during the Terror, and the rise of Napoleon, as well as far reaching consequences still with us today, such as the enduring ideology of human rights, and decimalization.In this Very Short Introduction, William Doyle introduces the French old regime and considers how and why it collapsed.

Doyle also discusses how and why the revolution destroyed the age-old cultural, institutional, and social structures in France and beyond. In this new edition, Doyle includes new sections highlighting the main developments in the field since the first edition, before exploring the legacy of the revolution in the form of rationality in public affairs and responsible government.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

An adventure roleplaying game inspired by the legends of Robin Hood.You are hunter and prey, a friend of the people and an enemy of tyrants. Your realm is the deep forest, amidst the birch and ancient oak. Falsely accused, only your wits and your longbow can save you from the gallows. You are an outlaw, an outcast, a hooded man…Prince John rules with an iron fist and Robin Hood is already a legendary figure, a champion of the common people, and a symbol of resistance against the tyranny of the nobility. Even Robin Hood cannot be everywhere, however, and many still fall foul of powerful landowners, grasping tax-collectors, and greedy barons. Charged with crimes and forced from their homes, the life of an outlaw seems to be the only option. Some, seeking vengeance or inspired by tales of Robin''s bravery, refuse to submit and fight back against those who have driven them into the greenwood. The Hooded Man is a roleplaying game of heroism and adventure that tells the stories of these rebels, be they members of Robin’s band, striking out against the Sheriff of Nottingham from their lair in Sherwood Forest, or an outlaw company of the players’ own creation. Characters are drawn from all walks of life, bringing their own talents, histories, and motives to the company, and the simple D6 dice-pool system keeps the focus on these heroes and their fight against tyranny and oppression.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je'daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force--and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je'daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy.Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je'daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key--risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je'daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved--and whose life she must now fear.
