A brand new Mad Libs featuring 21 stories inspired by the classic
film "The Wizard of Oz," out just in time for the 75th anniversary
of the movie's release
This book, first published in 1975, examines the events of the
French Second Republic, the themes of protest and repression in
particular. It analyses how popular discontent is mobilised and
becomes political protest and revolution, and how the machinery of
government operates in a crisis situation.
Given the global nature of business today and the increasing
diversity within the workforce of so many industries and
organisations, a cross-cultural component in management education
and training has become essential. This is the case for every type
of business education, whether it be for aspiring graduates at the
start of their careers or senior managers wishing to increase their
effectiveness or employability in the international market. The 4th
edition of Understanding Cross-Cultural Management has been adapted
in line with the feedback from our many readers, and boasts new
case study material based on recent research, as well as a stronger
focus on Asian cultures, thereby providing more non-Western
examples. Understanding Cross-Cultural Management offers a
selective but broad view of classic and contemporary thinking on
cultural management and encourages you to apply theories and ideas
to practice - and to relate them to your own experience - through
various examples and cases from the business world as well as
through a range of practical activities, including: *
Cross-cultural concepts, which explain key ideas from leading
theorists, thinkers and practitioners. * Case studies (many of them
based on articles from the Financial Times), dilemmas and points
for reflection, which enable you to judge internally and interact
externally. * Spotlights in every chapter, which briefly illustrate
the concepts being described. * Mini-cases with questions and
points for discussion, which encourage consistent application of
theory to practice. * Activities at the end of each chapter, as
well as at the end of each of the book's three parts, which provide
a broader and more integrated perspective on the material in each
section. These encourage you to develop both your cross-cultural
management skills and a critical view of research done in this
area. This book has been written for undergraduate and postgraduate
students, as well as practising managers and professionals, who are
studying cross-cultural and international management as part of
either specialist international business programmes or general
business-related qualifications. This book is also a valuable
resource for self-study, enabling readers to extend and to deepen
their cross-cultural awareness.

First published in 1987, A Social History of Nineteenth-Century
France argues that the social impact of the French Revolution has
been greatly exaggerated, and that in 1815 France was still
predominantly a rural and pre-industrial society. The revolution
introduced only very limited changes in social structures and
relationships - the daily lives of ordinary people remained
virtually unchanged. A much more decisive turning point in French
history, the author suggests, was the period of structural change
in economy and society, which began in the mid nineteenth century.
The first part of the book looks at many changes in the economy and
their effect on living standards and social environment. The second
part identifies the social groups which make up French society and
provides detailed analyses of their lifestyles and social
relationships. Part Three considers the influence of such key
institutions as churches, schools, and the state. Drawing on an
exceptionally wide range of primary sources, this is likely to be
the definitive overview of French society for many years to come
and will be of interest to researchers of French history and
European history.
This book, first published in 1983, is a major contribution to our
understanding of how and why French rural peasant society became
modernised by radical changes in the communications system - in
particular, the coming of the railways. The author argues that
complex changes in the transport systems, and their effects on
agricultural market structures, finally brought traditional French
rural civilisation to an end. With the extension of
commercialisation, and the widening of horizons, new economic and
social structures - and changed attitudes - rapidly came into
being. Writing as an economic historian, the author has adopted an
interdisciplinary approach to this study which incorporates
economic, sociological, historical and geographical methods and
data.

First published in 1975, The Economic Modernisation of France
presents the study of economic developments in France between 1730
and 1880. This period is conceived as one of growth in production
within pre-industrial economic structures, succeeded from 1840-50
by rapid structural transformation and the creation of an
industrial economy. Divided into four major parts it discusses
themes like communication and the development of commerce;
agriculture; industrial development; and population. Rich in
primary sources, this will be an essential read for scholars and
researchers of French history, European history, economic history,
and history in general.

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.

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'etat - 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.
This book is about a major historical figure, Napoleon III, and a
political regime. It examines how Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (nephew
of the first Napoleon) was able to secure election as President of
the Republic and subsequently to launch a coup d'etat to establish
a Second Empire. It then considers the ways in which power was
exercised by the new imperial regime. Later, apparent stability led
Napoleon III to engage in a difficult process of transition towards
a more liberal regime; but at the point of success the decision was
taken to go to war against Prussia which resulted in a catastrophic
defeat and the destruction of his regime. This is a most thoroughly
researched book on the Second Empire, which makes a contribution to
our knowledge of a vitally important period of French history
following the 1848 revolution and the intense mid-century crisis.
