The French Revolution sought to change daily life itself. This book
looks at the thirteen years between 1789-1802 that experienced the
Terror, banning of the aristocracy, and the rearrangement of the
calendar. No part of French life was left untouched during this
incredible period of turmoil and warfare, from women's role in the
family to men's role in the state. Art and theater were invigorated
and harnessed for political purposes. Subtleties in one's dress
could mean the difference between life and death. The first modern
mass army was created. Chapters include the physical make-up of
France; the social and political background of the revolution; the
First Republic; religion, church and state; urban life; rural life;
family life; the fringe society; clothes and fashion; food and
drink; the role of women; military life; education; health and
medicine; and writers, artists, musicians and entertainment.
Anderson breathes life into the day-to-day lives of those living
during the French Revolution. Greenwood's Daily Life through
History series looks at the everyday lives of common people. This
book will illuminate the lives of those living during the French
Revolution and provide a basis for further research. Black and
white photographs, maps, and charts are interspersed throughout the
text to assist readers. Reference features include a timeline of
historic events, glossaries of terms and names, an annotated
bibliography of print and electronic resources suitable for high
school and college student research, and an index.
On the morning of July 18, 1936, the Western World awoke to a new
and threatening development in European affairs. A cabal of
generals in Spain had rebelled against the legitimate and
democratically elected Republican government. While the conflict
had its own unique Spanish causes, this was not just another
military uprising. The Spanish Civil War served as the opening act
of World War II. The Spanish insurgents received immediate military
aid from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Soviet Russia supported
The Republic, but the democratic countries of Europe and the United
States opted for neutrality, denying military aid to either side.
Spanish society disintegrated, and thousands were killed. The world
was transfixed; the Civil War was the focal point of the mid-1930s,
and ordinary people in all walks of life took sides in the highly
charged emotional atmosphere. Though the conflict ended some 60
years ago, its violent events still resonate in Spain. This
all-in-one reference guide to the Spanish Civil War includes nine
essays on various aspects of the conflict, including: Politics and
social revolution International reaction Women Artists Writers
Educators The war's aftermath And more Brief biographies of major
figures ranging from "La Pasionara" to Franco are included, as well
as primary documents in translation, a timeline, a glossary, maps,
and photos. For students, researchers, and general readers, this is
the ideal place to begin investigating this exceedingly complex,
fascinating, and ultimately tragic period in 20th century history.

The life of persecuted minorities, as well as that of the wealthy
and the ordinary people of Spain during the Spanish Inquisition,
comes alive in this illuminating account. For three and a half
centuries, the Inquisition permeated every aspect of daily life in
early modern Spain. This history depicts in graphic terms the
dangers faced by Jews and Muslims and their suffering at the hands
of the Inquisitors, as well as the struggle for survival of the
lower classes and the ostentatious display of wealth of the high
nobility. Set against the political, religious, social, economic,
and cultural events of the time, it presents a balanced account,
rich in detail, of the daily activities of the Spanish people
during this period. Each chapter offers a succinct perspective of
life during early modern Spain, covering the political and social
setting, the Church, the Inquisition, Jews and Conversos, Muslims
and Moriscos, the court, urban and rural life, family life, clothes
and fashions, food, arts and entertainment, military life,
education, and health and medicine. All these aspects of life are
discussed in the context of a society experiencing profound
internal conflicts arising from matters of religion, class, gender,
and ethnic prejudice. Interwoven in the text is a discussion of
relevant political and economic events that helped to shape the
times, as well as comments from both contemporary Spanish writers
and foreign visitors who witnessed firsthand the conditions and
attitudes of the people. More than 40 illustrations, a timeline of
important events, a list of Spanish rulers during the centuries of
the Inquisition, a glossary, and a bibliography add value to the
narrative.
This broad exploration captures the lives of ordinary people during
the turbulent period that transformed early Modern Europe.
Organized thematically, Daily Life during the Reformation covers
the hectic and tumultuous years between 1517 and 1648, allowing
readers to discover what it was like for ordinary people during
this critical period and to compare events and living conditions in
early Modern Europe with those of today. With the help of
eyewitness accounts, the book focuses on the lives of the people,
the conditions in which they lived and died, their roles in the
unfolding events of the Reformation, and the Reformation's effects
on them. Leading protagonists are described, as are their beliefs
and the impact of those beliefs on the population in general and in
particular cases. The book also explores, for example, the medical
practice of the time, which, while not considered black magic, was
close to it.
This informative, concise, and engagingly written work provides
the most up-to-date history of Portugal, current through 1999, and
gives a full picture of the political, social, cultural, and
economic influences that shaped the history of Portugal. Covering
the period from Portugal's early conception as a nation through its
long history, with emphasis on the dramatic period of the last
several decades, this volume culminates with the demise of the
Salazar dictatorship and the independence of its colonies. Complete
with a timeline for easy reference to events, brief biographies of
important people, lists of monarchs and heads of state, and a
bibliographic essay, it is the ideal companion for the student or
interested reader.
In nine chapters, Anderson discusses the geography of Portugal,
its prehistoric antecedents, its formation as a nation, and the
events that once made it a world leader in exploration, discovery,
and imperial power. How and why the country was drawn into the
orbit of its large neighbor, Spain, lost much of its empire, and
yet managed to regain its independence are examined, along with the
trials and tribulations encountered on its journey from monarchy to
modern republic. The discussion presents the factors that kept
Portugal one of the poorest nations in Europe for most of its
existence and the reasons that it is now, leading into the 21st
century, closing the economic gap with wealthier nations.
The evident rapid expansion of scientific work and intense interest
in both experimental and clinical aspects of new drug delivery
systems provided strong motivation for planning this symposium. In
designing the program, speakers were identified for their
particular expertise in a wide range of topics such as dermal
delivery systems, pro-drugs, oral prolonged release,
rate-controlled drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of drug release
systems, the synthesis of polymeric drug carriers and the
refinement of drug delivery pumps. Because of the considerable
involvement of diverse scientists from laboratories around the
world where investigations relevant to the topic are now being
pursued, a deliberate effort was made to invite international
leaders in the field to share their knowledge and experimental
outcomes. Thus, plenary papers and panel discussions were offered
by organic chemists, bioengineers, patholo gists, material
scientists, physical chemists, and pharmacokineti cists from
academic and industrial laboratories in some dozen countries. This
book which records the presentations offered at the sym posium
covers a broad array of topics ranging from general overviews of
the physicochemical concepts and analytical methodology which
underpin the refinement of drug delivery systems and the tissue
responses associated with the use of such systems through detailed
discussions of a variety of current approaches employed in the
development of new systems.
Trade has long been-and will continue to be-a driving force that
shapes our world. This book documents the tremendous importance of
trade throughout history and its influence toward peaceful
coexistence among nations. From ancient to modern times, trade has
played an integral role in connecting disparate cultures and places
on the earth-indeed, the existence of commercial trade across human
civilization means that "globalization" is hardly a recent
phenomenon or trend. Daily Life through Trade: Buying and Selling
in World History documents how the importance of trade has made it
the catalyst for migration, exploration, cultural interchange, and
unfortunately, conflict and war throughout history. Author James M.
Anderson describes the history of trade and traders' lives,
examining how commerce had important consequences in various
regions of the world and addressing a wide range of topics, such as
fair trade, the World Trade Organization, and the role of trade in
sparking world wars. The book's coverage ranges from the earliest
times to the present day, and serves not only as an excellent
general reference for history students and general readers, but
also as valuable supplementary reading for those enrolled in
courses in economics and business.

This Philadelphia study finds that appointed counsel, public
defenders reduce their clients' murder conviction rate by 19%,
lower the probability that their clients receive a life sentence by
62%, and reduce overall expected time served in prison by 24%.
No-fault regimes, a formerly popular alternative to the tort
compensation system for auto-accident victims, have gradually lost
support. Over time, premiums and claim costs have grown in no-fault
states relative to other states, primarily driven by explosive
medical cost increases. No-fault and tort states have also
converged across many domains affecting costs, including excess
claiming, litigation patterns, and noneconomic-damage payments.
