The Unwanted: European Refugees in the Twentieth Century

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Marrus, Michael R., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Vast refugee movements signify hundreds of thousands of people homeless and in despair. For most of our own century, Europe saw the greatest tide of uprooted humanity, with millions of people torn loose from their homes and forced to flee abroad. The Unwanted presents the first comprehensive picture of the astounding dimension of the refugee problem in twentieth century Europe. While a considerable portion of the book is devoted to the dislocation of the Nazi era, the volume covers everything from the late nineteenth century to the present, encompassing the Armenian refugees, the Spanish Civil War emigres, the Cold War refugees in flight from Soviet states and much more. Marrus argues that these huge refugee inundations represented a terrible new page in human history, presaging what we see today in parts of the Third World.

Dictionary of Celtic Mythology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ellis, Peter Berresford, PUBLISHER: ABC-CLIO, Predated only by Greek and Roman legend by virtue of the fact that the Celtic languages were not written until the early Christian era, Celtic mythology developed from a far earlier oral tradition, which preserves voices from the dawn of European civilization. The peoples of these Celtic cultures survive today on the western seaboard of Europe: the Irish, Manx, and Scots who make up the Goidelic (Gaelic) speaking branch of Celts, and the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons, who represent the Byrthonic-speaking branch. In his introduction, Ellis discusses the roles of these six cultures, the evolution (or demise) of the languages, and the relationship between the legends, especially the Irish and Welsh, the two major Celtic cultures. The "Dictionary of Celtic Mythology" is an easy to read handbook, and presents a fascinating window to centuries of rich oral and written tradition from the mists of Europe's origins.

Women in Medieval Times

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: MacDonald, Fiona, PUBLISHER: Peter Bedrick Books, "The Other Half of History" explores an aspect of history that is often overlooked - the history of women. This fascinating book looks at the lives of women in medieval Europe. In the eyes of the law, women were children, to be guarded and controlled. Motherhood was their main purpose in life. The Church also taught that women were dangerous and sinful. On the other hand, wives helped their husbands in the fields and in workshops, and many nuns and abbesses were respected for their wisdom and learning. Although women rarely gained power without the support of men, a few noblewomen used their position to play a part in the political struggles and battles of medieval Europe.

The Congressman's Civil War

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bogue, Allan G. / Fogel, Robert / Thernstrom, Stephan, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In the historical literature on the Civil War, the President, the generals, and the cabinet secretaries have won the war of words.
