As the most learned and eminent public lawyer in Germany, a busy administrator, and a prolific writer, Moser (1701-85) lived and breathed the political order. His correspondence, memoranda, and manuscript autobiography reflect the intricate day-to-day operations of the empire, and his fascinating life is a microcosm of the life and style of the empire itself.

Walker's impressive study is the first to link Harris's background to the nature of his teachings and to discuss the dynamics of his movement's development. Harris not only articulated the confusion and desires of his followers but also created new aspirations by helping them see what they could achieve in their own society and in their relations with Europeans.

This study of the relationship between the world-view in modern serious playwriting and the effectiveness of modern attempts at tragic drama is also an examination of the perennial problem of tragic spirit: is tragedy optimistic or pessimistic? This provocative and stimulating book is the first detailed analysis of whether tragedy hints at hope or acts out dread.

Turner's work documents New Hampshire's transition from colony to state, including the development of the state constitution, the contests between constantly mutating political parties, and the conquering of the New England wilderness. He details the painful evolution of relations between the state government and the equally inexperienced federal government.

Vasu analyses the attitudes of a national sample of both public and private planners, using a questionnaire he devised and administered, and contrasts the results with a nationwide sample of the American public. He finds that planners are a distinct interest group with ideological orientations, political party affiliations, and political participation that differ from those of the American public.

General Maurice Sarrail, 1856-1929: The French Army and Left-Wing Politics

Catholicism and Political Development in Latin America

Summarises some of the basic data of the framework through which southern schooling must be seen if a proper understanding of the problems of southern public education is to be achieved. It provides a brief handbook of basic data on southern schools, as they are today and as they can be in the next decade.

Stone portrays the members of this great court of law as strategically situated individuals who worked to advance their own corporate pretentions while simultaneously advocating a precarious balance of monarchical, aristocratic, middle-class, and "popular" interests. Their apparent radicalism disguised their efforts to preserve the traditional legalistic French monarchy.

F.O. Matthiessen succeeded in uniting critical formalism with political radicalism, Christian concerns with social egalitarianism, to make a major contribution to American literature and culture. Stern's compassionate study reveals now Matthiessen synthesized the opposing forces in his own ideas to interpret the art of literature.

Many books have been written about the Pre-Raphaelite movement in painting, but its manisfestation in poetry has been relatively ignored. These exemplary essays offer lively judgments on the themes and relationships of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Christina Rossetti, William Morris, and Algernon Charles Swinburne and provide fresh insights on their imagery and prosody.

When the German edition of Steiner's masterful analysis of Switzerland's political system was first published in 1970, it was greeted by the American Political Science Review as a l"audable departure from conventional comparative series." This new edition, extensively revised and expanded, makes Steiner's innovative study available to political theorists in the English-speaking world.

Examines the political, economic, and ideological motivations that prompted American and German leaders to adopt strategies that led to discord during this period of transition from war to peace. Schwabe disputes the interpretation that Wilson betrayed his ideals at Versailles and the thesis that a secret conspiracy between the United States and Germany attempted to contain the Bolshevik threat.

This sensible and timely study uses tools and insights from a variety of academic disciplines, including economics, and its approach has been shaped by the perspectives of systems analysis. An insurgent movement is viewed as a system of inputs and outputs directed by control mechanisms.

Analyses the factors that operated during the thirties on through the mid-sixties to prevent the city and the urban township surrounding it from developing organised, cooperative responses to industrial and population growth. It concentrates on both the decisions and the failure to make decisions that had the greatest impact on maintaining the framework of city and township government.

Williams, an Alabama liberal committed to civil rights long before such a position was expedient in the South, became the director of the National Youth Administration where he hired blacks and supported labour unions, public housing, public health, and public education. This biography contributes to our knowledge of the Roosevelt administration and sheds new light on the civil rights movement.

The late seventeenth century in America was important as an era of transition from rough settlement to established provincial life. It was a time when social, political, and economic problems caused strains that led to religious doubt, personal anxiety, riot, and one of the worst rebellions in the colonies.

Focuses on the syndicalist intellectual tradition, which began as a revisionist form of Marxism, then evolved into a kind of nationalist corporatism - the most important theoretical component in Italian fascism. Roberts shows how fascism could be at once popular and elitist, modern and traditional, procapitalist and anticapitalist, nationalist and anti-Italian, totalitarian and anticollectivist.
