In 1900, some 100,000 people living in Bulgaria—2 percent of the country's population—could be described as Greek, whether by nationality, language, or religion. The complex identities of the population—proud heirs of ancient Hellenic colonists, loyal citizens of their Bulgarian homeland, members of a wider Greek diasporic community, devout followers of the Orthodox Patriarchate in Istanbul, and reluctant supporters of the Greek government in Athens—became entangled in the growing national tensions between Bulgaria and Greece during the first half of the twentieth century.In Between Two Motherlands, Theodora Dragostinova explores the shifting allegiances of this Greek minority in Bul...
An Alternative History of Bicycles and Motorcycles: Two-Wheeled Transportation and Material Culture accounts for the nineteenth-century creation and development of two-wheeled vehicles, both human-powered and motorized. Specifically, the book focuses on the period from 1885 (which saw the appearance, simultaneously, of the Safety bicycle and the Einspur, the first motorcycle) to 1920, while exploring implications for later bicycling and motorcycling.

Much more than a guide to Saint-Emilion, here is the right tool to explore the city and discover its mysteries. The best way is to take a few minutes to leaf through the book. If you choose to see everything, just follow the order of the cards. Their numbering makes up one of the possible circuits, a large one-day loop that starts from the car park at the top of Saint-Emilion and finally returns there. But many other paths are possible according to your desires or your available time. Each sheet is designed independently, letting you build your "à la carte" visit. The map at the start of the book allows you to find your way quickly and easily. And if you want to know more about the monuments or places presented in this guide, it is still possible. At the bottom of the pages, you will find a web link that completes the descriptions with a lot of additional information. Saint-Emilion is a city rich in heritage and historical events. But the undeniable reputation of its wine tends to put an opaque veil over its splendors. Written by people who lived and worked in Saint-Emilion, this guide wants to share with you the generous abundance of its most intimate treasures.
