French politics of the Third Republic rarely conformed to expectations. Among the tangled mass of alliances, cooperation, competition, and personal attachments that made up right-wing politics at the turn of the twentieth century, the Nationalists stood as the most elusive. A constantly metamorphosing band of malcontents, the supposedly conservative Nationalists proudly proclaimed themselves ""socialists"" and ""revolutionaries."" This narrative history explores the emergence of the Nationalist right in France and explains why the movement united diverse political interests into a militant campaign to wrest control of France from the democratic republicans who were attempting to stabilize the country after a century of political volatility. Analysis of pamphlets, leaflets, speeches, posters, songs, and newspaper articles reveals that Nationalist agitation against the Third Republic posed a real and dangerous threat, a threat that dissipated only when their goals were adopted by more moderate competing groups.

In March 1933, in one of his first acts as president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared a bank holiday throughout the United States. Considered by many to be a bold step to curb the mounting bank crisis, the decree closed banks in all 48 states and overseas territories, putting money out of reach of citizens, businesses and all levels of government. This narrative history recounts and explains the economic, financial and political backgrounds of the banking panic, arguing that the holiday was not only unnecessary but actually damaging to the economy. The holiday did, however, provide Roosevelt with the momentum to push through a series of historic reforms that remade the federal government. This revisionist work not only reveals the circumstances around the panic but debunks numerous myths that have clung to it ever since.

This new text provides an integrated view of the forces that influence the patterns and rates of vertebrate evolution from the level of living populations and species to those that resulted in the origin of the major vertebrate groups. The evolutionary roles of behavior, development, continental drift, and mass extinctions are compared with the importance of variation and natural selection that were emphasized by Darwin. It is extensively illustrated, showing major transitions between fish and amphibians, dinosaurs and birds, and land mammals to whales. No book since Simpson's Major Features of Evolution has attempted such a broad study of the patterns and forces of evolutionary change. Undergraduate students taking a general or advanced course on evolution, and graduate students and professionals in evolutionary biology and paleontology will find the book of great interest.
