The Radical Reformation, 3rd ed.
George Williams' monumental The Radical Reformation has been an essential reference work for historians of early modern Europe, narrating in rich, interpretative detail the interconnected stories of radical groups operating at the margins of the mainline Reformation. In its scope—spanning all of Europe from Spain to Poland, from Denmark to Italy—and its erudition, The Radical Reformation is without peer. Now in paperback format, Williams' magnum opus should be considered for any university-level course on the Reformation.

Middle Powers and International Organisations
This book provides a unique examination of how a middle power uses international organisations to achieve greater global influence. The authors focus on the OECD, ‘the rich man’s club’ of most of the world’s wealthiest nations. It demonstrates how the decision by Australia to apply for membership was a long drawn out process, delayed by political factors. Eventually agreement was reached with assurances that membership would provide access to valuable and timely policy-related information, especially in relation to international trade and finance. In addition, membership would potentially increase influence by providing greater access to its powerful member states at an earlier stage in their policy discussions and agreements.
50 Years of British Grand Prix Drivers
It is now 50 years since the Formula 1 World Championship was created. This book celebrates the involvement of British drivers during those five decades of racing. It is a unique work in that it provides a detailed record of the achievements of every British driver ever to start a Grand Prix. In all, 137 British drivers have started Grand Prix and this book records every one of them. From the world famous names like Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and Damon Hill, to the less well-known racers of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, this is a unique and definitive record. A driver summary, detailed career record and Grand Prix statistics are included for each of the 137 drivers. Illustrated by many rare photos covering most of the drivers, the book is a wonderful record of a period of British involvement in Grand Prix racing that started with drivers like Reg Parnell and Bob Gerard and ended with Damon Hill, Eddie Irvine and David Coulthard.
Social Protection vs. Economic Flexibility
As the Clinton administration considers major overhauls in health insurance, welfare, and labor market regulation, it is important for economists and policymakers to understand the impact of social and welfare programs on employment rates. This volume explores how programs such as social security, income transfers, and child care in Western Europe, the United States, and Japan have affected labor market flexibility—the ability of workers to adjust to fast-growing segments of the economy. Does tying health insurance to employment limit job mobility? Do housing policies inhibit workers from moving to new jobs in different areas? What are the effects of daycare and maternity leave policies on...
The Containment of Organised Crime and Terrorism
This unique volume collects articles and contributions to edited books published throughout his distinguished career by Professor Cyrille Fijnaut, one of the world's leading experts in the fields of organised crime, security and criminology. It makes clear what issues the author systematically explored over the years and how he helped to shape the fields in which he has worked, and continues to work. The texts, reflecting the author's profound understanding of these complex fields and wealth of experience on a practical level, are presented systematically. In addition, the volume offers English translations of seminal articles published originally in Dutch, thus making these important texts accessible to international scholars for the first time ever. The volume thus constitutes a unique and indispensable resource for scholars and practitioners, inside and outside the Netherlands.
