Taking the Soviet collapse - the most cataclysmic event of the
recent past - as a case study, this text engages students in the
exercise of historical analysis, interpretation and explanation. In
exploring the question posed by the title, the author introduces
and applies such organizing concepts as great power conflict,
imperial decline, revolution, ethnic conflict, colonialism,
economic development, totalitarian ideology, and transition to
democracy in a most accessible way. Questions and controversies,
and extracts from documentary and literary sources, anchor the text
at key points. This book is intended for use in history and
political science courses on the Soviet Union or more generally on
the 20th century.

Changing Society: A Social and Spiritual Vision for the Year 2020
and Beyond addresses the five traditional social institutions
(marriage and family, religion, education, politics, and economics)
as well as other important social institutions (health care, race,
ethnicity, and technology). The editor and contributors provide
keen social insights as they consider the current dynamics as well
as the historical and future issues of each of these social
institutions. This book is unique in that each of the writers
approaches their topic from vast professional expertise and from
great spiritual awareness (that is, such things as values, essence,
meaning, and purpose). With the intention of focus and clarity and
by projecting into the year 2020, one can appreciate how Vision
2020 as part of the book's title captures a double entendre.
