In this, his final book, Gavin Boyd has brought together a distinguished group of experts on the nature and extent of transatlantic policy coordination and its implication for corporate strategy. This remarkably relevant set of papers offers a discussion on the economic and financial linkage between Europe and North America, as well as the trade and investment rules governing this interaction.
Borderlands of Western Civilization - A History of East Central Europe
Halecki’s intention was to introduce the history of East Central Europe to Western readers. Most English language history books treat European history almost entirely as an English, Latin and Teutonic domain. He attempted to show how far Western civilization expanded in the Eastern direction. His work introduced the history of the nations that occupy the lands between the Russians and the Germans, peoples whose aggregate number—as he pointed out—exceeds the either the German and the Russian populations.
Armies of the Middles Ages Vol. 2 - The Ottoman Empire, Eastern Europe and the Near Est
This book could easily have been called 'Armies and Enemies of the Ottoman Empire', since of all the nations or political entities it covers only the peoples of India never came into conflict with the Ottoman Turks during this period. The Balkans receive particular attention, where in the mid-15th century charismatic historical figures such as Scanderbeg, Dracula, and Janos Hunyadi led wonderfully colorful armies against the Turks.
Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages - A Cultural History
Our understanding of medieval Central and Eastern Europe is being revitalized by new directions in cultural history. Careful and detailed portraits of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century life in the region shed new light on the city, the court, the school and university, the economy, and prevailing ideas, and expand our vision of the interplay between religion, politics, music and memory.
The Other Europe in the Middle Ages - Avars, Bulgars, Khazars and Cumans
For most students in medieval studies, Eastern Europe is marginal and East European topics simply exotica. A peculiar form of Orientalism may thus be responsible for the exclusion of the Avars, Bulgars, Khazars, and Cumans from the medieval history of the European continent. This collection of studies is an attempt to stimulate research in a comparative mode and to open up a broader discussion about such key themes as material culture, ethnicity, historical memory, or conversion in the context of social and political developments in early medieval Europe. Another goal of this volume is to introduce a number of new approaches to the study of what is known as “medieval nomads.”
