The relationship between Germany and Russia is Europe's most
important link with the largest country on the continent. But
despite Germany's unparalleled knowledge and historical experience,
its policymakers struggle to accept that Moscow's efforts to
rebalance Europe at the cost of the cohesion of the EU and NATO are
an attack on Germany's core interests. This book explains the scale
of the challenge facing Germany in managing relations with a
changing Russia. It analyses how successive German governments from
1991 to 2014 misread Russian intentions, until Angela Merkel
sharply recalibrated German and EU policy towards Moscow. The book
also examines what lies behind efforts to revise Merkel's bold
policy shift, including attitudes inherited from the GDR and the
role of Russian influence channels in Germany. -- .
Before the Terror and then the Napoleonic Wars made it
impracticable to travel through France, many young British men and
women were able to watch at first hand the changes taking place in
French society an the agitations that were becoming increasingly
loud for reform. This book, originally published in 1987, is a
study of France in these crucial years seen through the eyes of the
travellers. It marries the travellers' accounts to analysis of the
political state of France to produce a book equally illuminating of
British taste and attitudies to France, and of the French political
and social scene.

First published in 1953, this selection was created to provide the
general reader and university students with the texts of Diderot's
more important philosophical writings. The works are presented in
French, with modernised spelling, and a brief bibliographical note
in English precedes each one. This book will be of value to anyone
with an interest in Diderot and his thinking.
This book gives a complete account of all that Locke saw, did and
heard during his four years in France. The entries vary from
laconic jottings to detailed accounts - full of colour and wit - of
life in Paris and the provinces. Locke's variety of interests
presents a vivid and thorough account of France at that time. He
observed and recorded the absolutism of Louis XIV and the poverty
of the peasants, the growing persecution of the Protestants and the
external manifestations of Catholicism, recent developments in
science and technology - even agricultural methods and the system
of taxes. So that this is a book for the general reader as well as
for the student of Locke, the social historian and the historian of
science.
This selection provides the reader with the text of Diderot's more
important philosophical writings.
