A Concise History of France
This is the most up-to-date and comprehensive study of French history available ranging from the early middle ages to the present. Amongst its central themes are the relationships between state and society, the impact of war, competition for power, and the ways in which power has been used. Whilst taking full account of major figures such as Philip Augustus, Henri IV, Louis XIV, Napoleon and de Gaulle, it sets their activities within the broader context of changing economic and social structures and beliefs, and offers rich insights into the lives of ordinary men and women. This third edition has been substantially revised and includes a new chapter on contemporary France - a society and political system in crisis as a result of globalisation, rising unemployment, a failing educational system, growing social and racial tensions, corruption, the rise of the extreme right, and a widespread loss of confidence in political leaders.

Successful Christianity
The world is full of religions, espousing mans ideas of how to get to their particular gods or goddesses and to gain their favor. These people seem to be in a continuous state of failure. Successful Christianity explores the Christian faith, in which there are those also who struggle to be on top of things in life. This book gives multiple avenues of overcoming what is seen by some as a persons fate in life. From failures in finances to poor health, I point out that there has to be a change in our thinking if we are to ever be successful in our walk with the Lord. Proposing that God wants us to be successful in life, Scripture is called upon to point out the various avenues in which we please God by our faith and actions that back up that faith which will bring success. Our focus on a growing relationship with our Lord and His Word I am convinced is the avenue of success for the Christian. That is my experience and I pray you find it true also.
The French Second Empire

People and Politics in France, 1848–1870
This 2004 book is about politicisation and political choice in the aftermath of the February Revolution of 1848, and the emergence of democracy in France. The introduction of male suffrage both encouraged expectations of social transformation and aroused intense fear. In these circumstances the election of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte as President of the Republic - and his subsequent coup d'état - were the essential features of a counter-revolutionary process which involved the creation of a system of democracy as the basis of regime legitimacy and as a prelude to greater liberalisation. The state positively encouraged the act of voting. But what did it mean? How did people perceive politics? How did communities and groups participate in political activity? These and many other questions concern the relationships between local issues and personalities, and the national political culture, all of which impinged on communities increasingly as a result of substantial social and political change.
The Revolutions of 1848
An analysis of the causes of both revolution and reaction in 1848. The book aims to set political events within the context of a continent undergoing complex processes of transition and considers why governments were better able after 1848 to prevent revolutionary movements.
