Drawing on the enduring theme of revolution, David S. Mason explores the causes and consequences of revolution: political, economic, and scientific; the development of human rights; and issues of European identity and integration. He deliberately avoids a detailed chronology of every country and time period by emphasizing the most crucial events in shaping contemporary Europe. Fourteen focused chapters address such topical issues as the Enlightenment; the French Revolution and Napoleon; the Industrial Revolution; the theories and impact of Marx and Darwin; the revolutions of 1848, 1917, and 1989; the unifications of Germany and Italy; European imperialism; the two World Wars; the Cold War; and the evolution and expansion of the European Union. Any reader who wants to view the broad sweep of European history will find this book an engaging narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates competing ideas, images, and stereotypes of a European ‘East’, exploring its role in defining European and national conceptions of self and other since the eighteenth century. Through a set of original case studies, this collection explores the intersection between discourses about a more distant, exotic, or colonial ‘Orient’ with a more immediate ‘East’. The book considers this shifting, imaginary border from different points of view and demonstrates that the location, definition, and character of the ‘East’, often associated with socio-economic backwardness and other unfavourable attributes, depended on historical circumstances, political preferences, cultural assumptions, and geography. Spanning two centuries, this study analyses the ways that changing ideals and persistent clichéd attitudes have shaped the conversation about and interpretations of Eastern Europe. Europe and the East will be essential reading for anyone interested in images and ideas of Europe, European identity, and conceptions of the ‘East’ in intellectual and cultural history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent European History, 1789-1900 A knowledge of the movement toward constitutional government during the nineteenth century is essential to every educated person. Though this movement began with the French Revolution in 1789, the distinct recognition of popular rights by constitutional enactment falls chiefly within the nineteenth century. Revolutions and wars since 1789 have resulted in increased rights to some classes, and in many cases to whole nations. Since the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-1871, there has been no war between the great European nations, and their growth and development during this period need especially to be emphasized. Materials and books for the study of the French Revolution are perhaps more numerous than for any other period in the world's history. Indeed they are too numerous for the ordinary student and reader. Good books, however, on the nineteenth century since the fall of Napoleon are few, and there is no one book which includes the period from 1870 to 1900 with an outline of the earlier part of the century. Secondary schools offer very little history subsequent to the French Revolution, and the nineteenth century has generally been reserved for the study of the upper classes in college or for graduate work.
