Christian Democracy in Europe Since 1945
For the first time, this book reveals the actual roles of the Christian Democratic (CD) parties in postwar Europe from a pan-European perspective. It shows how Christian Democratic parties became the dominant political force in postwar Western Europe, and how the European People's Party is currently the largest group in the European Parliament. CD parties and political leaders like Adenauer, Schuman and De Gasperi played a particularly important role in the evolution of the 'core Europe' of the EEC/EC after 1945. Key chapters address the same questions about the parties' membership and social organization; their economic and social policies; and their European and international policies during the Cold War. The book also includes two survey chapters setting out the international political context for CD parties and comparing their postwar development, and two chapters on their transnational party cooperation after 1945. This is the companion volume to Political Catholicism in Europe 1918-1945.
Way to Wisdom
“An eloquent expression of a great hope that philosophy may again become an activity really relevant not only to the perennial problems of life and death but to the unusual configurations of such problems in our time.”—Julian N. Hartt, Yale Review “Original, sincere, cultivated, and stimulating.”—Philosophy One of the founders of existentialism, the eminent philosopher Karl Jaspers here presents for the general reader an introduction to philosophy. In doing so, he also offers a lucid summary of his own philosophical thought. In Jaspers’ view, the source of philosophy is to be found “in wonder, in doubt, in a sense of forsakenness,” and the philosophical quest is a process of continual change and self-discovery. In a new foreword to this edition, Richard M. Owsley provides a brief overview of Jaspers’ life and achievement.
Europas Einigung
Von der Lancierung des Europarats und des Schuman-Plans im Kontext der Gründung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland bis zur »Euro-Krise« unserer Tage – Wilfried Loth, einer der besten Kenner der Geschichte der europäischen Integration, schildert in diesem Standardwerk, wie die Europäische Union entstand und sich über Jahrzehnte hinweg zu einem einheitlichen Wirtschafts- und Währungsraum entwickelte.

Auf der Grundlage dieser historischen Bilanz lässt sich ermessen, welche Perspektiven sich heute, im Zeitalter der Globalisierung, für das gesellschaftliche Projekt »Europa« eröffnen. Diese Buch wurde ausgezeichnet mit dem Émile und Aline Mayrisch Preis 2015, dessen Ziel der kulturelle Austausch und das gegenseitige Verständnis der europäischen Völker ist.

Revolution with a Human Face
In this social and cultural history of Czechoslovakia’s “gentle revolution,” James Krapfl shifts the focus away from elites to ordinary citizens who endeavored—from the outbreak of revolution in 1989 to the demise of the Czechoslovak federation in 1992—to establish a new, democratic political culture. Unique in its balanced coverage of developments in both Czech and Slovak lands, including the Hungarian minority of southern Slovakia, this book looks beyond Prague and Bratislava to collective action in small towns, provincial factories, and collective farms. Through his broad and deep analysis of workers’ declarations, student bulletins, newspapers, film footage, and the proceedin...
Caporetto
Il paesaggio è avvolto nella nebbia e immerso nella più profonda oscurità quando, alle ore 2 del 24 ottobre 1917, si scatena il fuoco delle migliaia di cannoni che stavano in agguato fra Plezzo e Tolmino. Il rumore dei colpi , amplificato dall'eco delle montagne, è talmente terrificante che anche i veterani delle infernali battaglie della Somme e di Verdun esclamano convinti: "Oggi non vorrei proprio essere un italiano". (Krafft von Dellmensingen) - Nessuna battaglia era stata prevista con tanta precisione e nessuna battaglia fu affrontata con tanta fiducia quanta se ne aveva il 23 ottobre alla vigilia di Caporetto.(Relazione ufficiale italiana) - Era stato tutto previsto, tranne che gli attaccanti puntassero alla rottura del fronte partendo dal fondovalle. "Difendevamo con vigore i sentieri alpestri e trascuravamo le vie maestre". (Gen. Caviglia)
More Than I Love My Life
"From the internationally best-selling author--and revered moral voice--a remarkable novel of suffering, love, and healing, the story of three generations of women and a secret that needs to be told. The story was inspired by the life of a friend and confidante of David Grossman who, in the late 1940s, was imprisoned and tortured on the notorious Goli Otok, a barren island prison off the coast of Croatia. Grossman's telling focuses on three strong women--Vera, 90; her daughter, Nina; and her granddaughter, Gili, who at 39 years old is a filmmaker and a wary consumer of affection. A bitter secret divides each mother and daughter pair, though Gili--abandoned when she was just three by Nina--ha...
