This thoroughly researched book is a history of the development of Western horoscopic astrology from its origin among the Babylonians and its subsequent creation in its present form by the Alexandrians down to modern times. Special attention is given to background history and to the working conditions and techniques used by astrologers during the last two thousand years. Numerous footnotes provide additional information and bibliographic references. A separate bibliography lists reference sources of particular importance. Two comprehensive indices containing more than 2,800 individual entries enable the reader to locate persons, publishers, topics, and book and periodical titles that are mentioned in the history. The book also contains discussions of several questions and topics relating to astrology. James Herschel Holden is Research Director of the American Federation of Astrologers and has been especially interested in the history of astrology.
The Right-Wing Critique of Europe analyses the opposition to the European Union from a variety of right-wing organisations in Western, Central and Eastern Europe. In recent years, opposition to the processes of globalisation and the programme of closer European integration, understood as a threat to the sovereignty of individual member states, has led to an intensification of Eurosceptic sentiments on the Old Continent. The results of the European parliamentary elections in 2014 and 2019, the Brexit referendum and electoral results in different European countries are all testament to the considerable growth of radical populist-nationalist and conservative-sovereignist movements and parties. ...

Ce livre poignant est à la fois un témoignage historique sur l’entrée en Résistance de deux lycéens italiens élevés dans le fascisme, le roman d’une éducation sentimentale, morale et civique, et une réflexion sur la fidélité due à la mémoire d’un ami mort en héros. Giuliano Benassi s’est engagé dans la Résistance en 1943. De deux ans plus jeune, Francesco Berti Arnoaldi a pris le maquis en 1944. Arrêté, torturé, déporté, le premier a été abattu quelques jours avant la chute du Reich. Il a fallu plus de quarante ans au second pour pouvoir entreprendre le Voyage avec l’ami disparu, sur les traces de son martyre. Giuliano s’est sauvé et est mort pour que tous aient des raisons de vivre en hommes. C’est pour cela qu’à Giuliano et à ceux qui, comme lui, sont morts pour les autres en résistant, honneur doit être rendu de l’unique manière qui compte : en les faisant connaître pour que les autres, les libérés, se rappellent toujours de quels sacrifices est né ce don qui paraît si naturel, vivre libre.
