Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Provides a survey of the principal items on the agenda following
the end of the Cold War, focusing upon the institutions and regions
where the reconsideration of security issues has been particularly
profound. The book is organised into three main sections: the first
examines the changed roles of the main security institutions which
have survived the Cold War; NATO, the European Union/Western
European Union and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in
Europe. The second analyses the Central European countries, Russia
and States of the former Soviet Union in terms of their ideologies,
political structures and relationships of the Cold War period.

Europe where quite different perspectives and agendas are
concerned.

Everyone seems to know what film noir is, but scholars and critics
cannot agree on any definition. Some go so far as to insist that
there is no such thing. What is Film Noir? claims that this
confusion arises from the fact that film noir is both a genre and a
period style, and as such is unique in the history of Hollywood.
The genre, now known as "neo-noir," continues into the present,
while the period, which began in the early 1940s, had expired by
1960. William Park surveys the various theories of film noir,
defines the genre, and explains how film noir relates to the style
and the period in which it was created. The book corrects several
common misconceptions: that film noir was an afterthought, that
Hollywood was not conscious of what it was creating, and that film
noir is too amorphous to be a genre. Park also provides a very
useful theory of genre and how it relates to film study.
