Coal, Steel, and the Rebirth of Europe, 1945-1955
Author: John Gillingham
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521524308
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
This is the first large-scale historical investigation of the critical first stage of European integration, the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC). John Gillingham discusses the thirty year Franco-German struggle for heavy industry mastery in Western Europe, describes the dreams and schemes of Jean Monnet, who designed the heavy industry pool, reveals the American vision that inspired his work, and discloses how his transatlantic partners used their great authority to assure its completion. Gillingham also lays bare the operating mechanisms of the coal-steel pool, showing that contrary to the hopes of Monnet and his supporters, the ECSC restored rather than reformed the European economy, leaving as a legacy not a detrustified industry, but one still dominated by the giant producers of the Ruhr.

Pages : 120
Book Description
For us to succeed in the present and future, we need to anchor our ethnic ark in the past. All members of the nation are integral parts of a long chain, reaching from our distant forebears to our heirs in the days far ahead. By skillfully using our ancestral heritage as a guiding beacon, we can orient ourselves on the path towards the cosmos and the quantum space beyond, utilizing all available scientific methods to improve ourselves and our ability to break new ground, wherever our spirit might lead us. Nationalists of Eastern and Western Europe must unite in their common struggle against Cultural Marxism and liberalism. The Intermarium project in the heart of Magna Europa is now the sole representative of the true Europe that was, is and always will be. It can serve as both a leader and guide during the dark end phase of Kali Yuga as experienced right now, lighting the way for a new dawn, when the Europe of Nations awakens and stretches its wings, ready to leap into the sky, venerated by our ancestors and promised to our progeny.

Handbook to Life in Renaissance Europe
Author: Sandra Sider
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0195330846
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
The word renaissance means "rebirth," and the most obvious example of this phenomenon was the regeneration of Europe's classical Roman roots. The Renaissance began in northern Italy in the late 14th century and culminated in England in the early 17th century. Emphasis on the dignity of man (though not of woman) and on human potential distinguished the Renaissance from the previous Middle Ages. In poetry and literature, individual thought and action were prevalent, while depictions of the human form became a touchstone of Renaissance art. In science and medicine the macrocosm and microcosm of the human condition inspired remarkable strides in research and discovery, and the Earth itself was explored, situating Europeans within a wider realm of possibilities. Organized thematically, the Handbook to Life in Renaissance Europe covers all aspects of life in Renaissance Europe: History; religion; art and visual culture; architecture; literature and language; music; warfare; commerce; exploration and travel; science and medicine; education; daily life.

The Walls Came Tumbling Down
Author: Gale Stokes
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199879192
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
Gale Stokes' The Walls Came Tumbling Down has been one of the standard interpretations of the East European revolutions of 1989 for many years. It offers a sweeping yet vivid narrative of the two decades of developments that led from the Prague Spring of 1968 to the collapse of communism in 1989. Highlights of that narrative include, among other things, discussions of Solidarity and civil society in Poland, Charter 77 and the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, and the bizarre regime of Romania's Nikolae Ceausescu and his violent downfall. In this second edition, now appropriately subtitled Collapse and Rebirth in Eastern Europe, Stokes not only has revised these portions of the book in the light of recent scholarship, but has added three new chapters covering the post-communist period, including analyses of the unification of Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union, narratives of the admission of many of the countries of the region to the European Union, and discussion of the unfortunate outcomes of the Wars of Yugoslav Succession in the Western Balkans.
