Download or read book Europe written by Norman Davies and published by Harper Perennial. This book was released on 1998-01-20 with total page 1420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a masterpiece of historical narrative that stretches from the Ice Age to the Atomic Age, as it tells the story of Europe, East and West. Norman Davies captures it all-the rise and fall of Rome, the sweeping invasions of Alaric and Atilla, the Norman Conquests, the Papal struggles for power, the Renaissance and the Reformation, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, Europe's rise to become the powerhouse of the world, and its eclipse in our own century, following two devastating World Wars. This is the first major history of Europe to give equal weight to both East and West, and it shines light on fascinating minority communities, from heretics and lepers to Gypsies, Jews, and Muslims. It also takes an innovative approach, combining traditional narrative with unique features that help bring history alive: 299 time capsules scattered through the narrative capture telling aspects of an era. 12 -snapshots offer a panoramic look at all of Europe at a particular moment in history. Full coverage of Eastern Europe—100 maps and diagrams, 72 black-and-white plates.All told, Davies’'s Europe represents one of the most important and illuminating histories to be published in recent years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 16th century, coffee has been the beverage of choice to inspire thought, argument and dream as well as the impetus for the origin of the coffeehouse. The café - whether called caffe, Kaffeehaus, Kawiarnia or coffeehouse - has been central to urban and artistic life. In Europe and elsewhere, it is a place to start and end the day, to read, compose, gossip, debate or mull over the intricacies of a chess move. This beautifuly illustrated book takes the reader on a tour of the great literary cafés of Europe, encompassing cities as diverse as London, Lisbon, Budapest, Barcelona, Rome and Prague. Focusing on the famous writers and artists who frequented these historic places, author Noël Riley-Fitch celebrates the cafés' architecture, history and tradition, providing an insight to their enduring charm and popularity, shown through almost 150 photographs.

Book Caf   Europa

    Book Details:
  • Author : Slavenka Drakulic
  • Publisher : Penguin
  • Release : 1999-02-01
  • ISBN : 0140277722
  • Pages : 225 pages

Download or read book Caf Europa written by Slavenka Drakulic and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-02-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Slavenka Drakulic is a journalist and writer whose voice belongs to the world.” —Gloria Steinem Today in Eastern Europe the architectural work of revolution is complete: the old order has been replaced by various forms of free market economy and de jure democracy. But as Slavenka Drakulic observes, "in everyday life, the revolution consists much more of the small things—of sounds, looks and images." In this brilliant work of political reportage, filtered through her own experience, we see that Europe remains a divided continent. In the place of the fallen Berlin Wall there is a chasm between East and West, consisting of the different way people continue to live and understand the world. Little bits—or intimations—of the West are gradually making their way east: boutiques carrying Levis and tiny food shops called "Supermarket" are multiplying on main boulevards. Despite the fact that Drakulic can find a Cafe Europa, complete with Viennese-style coffee and Western decor, in just about every Eastern European city, the acceptance of the East by the rest of Europe continues to prove much more elusive.

Book Public Management and Governance

Download or read book Public Management and Governance written by Tony Bovaird and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Management and Governance examines the factors which make government critically important and the barriers which often stop it being effective. It questions what it means to have effective policies, efficient management and good quality public services, and it explores how the process of governing could be improved. Key themes include: the challenges and pressures facing governments around the world; the changing role of the public sector in a ‘mixed economy’ of provision; governance issues such as ethics, equalities, transparency and citizen engagement. This revised and updated third edition includes eight new chapters which provide in-depth coverage of key new aspects of public management and governance. It also features a wide selection of international case studies and illuminating examples of how public policy, management and governance can be improved – and what happens when they fail. Each chapter is supplemented with discussion questions, group and individual exercises, case studies and recommendations on further reading. Public Management and Governance is one of the leading student textbooks in its field, featuring contributions from top international authors and covering a wide range of key topics in depth. It is an essential resource for all students on undergraduate and postgraduate courses in public management, public administration, government and public policy.
