Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) A Social History of TwentiethCentury Europe
Book SynopsisA Social History of Twentieth-Century Europe offers a systematic overview on major aspects of social life, including population, family and households, social inequalities and mobility, the welfare state, work, consumption and leisure, social cleavages in politics, urbanization as well as education, religion and culture. It also addresses major debates and diverging interpretations of historical and social research regarding the history of European societies in the past one hundred years. Organized in ten thematic chapters, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach, making use of the methods and results of not only history, but also sociology, demography, economics and political science. BÃla Tomka presents both the diversity and the commonalities of European societies looking not just to Western European countries, but Eastern, Central and Southern European countries as well. A perfect introduction for all students of European history. Trade Review"Tomka’s project is different and his book is without question remarkably learned and full of useful material. It is a work that would surely have found its way into Hobsbawm’s bibliography."- Mark Gabbert, University of Manitoba"Over the years I have seen many studies on the social history of twentieth-century Europe, but this one clearly stands out. Béla Tomka’s is, to my knowledge, the first serious attempt to fully integrate all the continent’s regions, while strongly relying on comparisons. This sophisticated and multifaceted synthesis is a magnum opus which deserves a very wide readership." - Marcel van der Linden, International Institute of Social History, The Netherlands "Béla Tomka has produced a very convincing and impressive social historical synthesis of Europe between World War I and the present. Eastern Europe is not a mere appendix to a basically West European story, but gets its fair share of attention and erudition. The book is written in a highly reflective spirit with much sense for comparative approaches. On the basis of an excellent knowledge of the research literature in several languages, it offers a very readable and fully reliable introduction into the major fields of present-day social history. At the same time it relates to fundamental questions of European modernity, conflicts and identity, in an original way." - Jürgen Kocka, Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung, Germany"Tomka is excellent when he considers the theoretical approaches that past scholars have brought to bear. After finishing this book, readers are left with a clear sense of how European society has changed, whether one considers the institutions of Europe or the outlook of its inhabitants. Nationalism and religion have, to a very considerable degree, lost their place, but the future is uncertain as Europe faces issues involving the environment, unemployment, and the place of immigrants in countries that were hitherto homogeneous. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - S. Bailey, emeritus, Knox College, CHOICEA Social History of Twentieth-Century Europe is a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of 2013.“…Tomka’s is a very useful book because it provides intelligent and up-dated coverage of extremely important topics. It should be within arms-reach of anyone putting lectures together on Europe’s twentieth century.” -Nicholas Doumanis, University of New South Wales, Australia"Tomka’s project is different and his book is without question remarkably learned and full of useful material. It is a work that would surely have found its way into Hobsbawm’s bibliography."- Mark Gabbert, University of ManitobaTable of ContentsPreface. 1. Introduction 2. Population 3.

Taylor & Francis Routledge Companion to Sixteenth Century
Book SynopsisSixteenth century philosophy was a unique synthesis of several philosophical frameworks, a blend of old and new, including but not limited to Scholasticism, Humanism, Neo-Thomism, Aristotelianism, and Stoicism. Unlike most overviews of this period, The Routledge Companion to Sixteenth Century Philosophy does not simplify this colorful era by applying some traditional dichotomies, such as the misleading line once drawn between scholasticism and humanism.Instead, the Companion closely covers an astonishingly diverse set of topics: philosophical methodologies of the time, the importance of the discovery of the new world, the rise of classical scholarship, trends in logic and logical theory, Nominalism, Averroism, the Jesuits, the Reformation, Neo-stoicism, the soulâs immortality, skepticism, the philosophies of language and science and politics, cosmology, the nature of the understanding, causality, ethics, freedom of the will, natural law, the emergence of the indTrade Review". . . . An impressive collection of twenty-seven essays, which aim at presenting the most recent scholarship on Renaissance philosophy. It is one of the most comprehensive works on this time period ever published. On the whole, the companion is accessible to undergraduate students while also being of interest to specialists. One of the major strengths of the book is that the material covered is thoroughly examined and accompanied by substantive bibliographies, which make the volume a valuable tool for the study of sixteenth-century thought. Another key feature is that crossover between the essays is pervasive and is reinforced by a substantive general index, which gives a strong unity to the volume, despite its length (645 pages). . . . To conclude, there is no doubt that this impressive companion is an outstanding publication which represents a landmark in the field of Renaissance philosophy."--Magali Roques in The Journal of the International Society for the History of Philosophy of Science"This book is an up-to-date, comprehensive, scholarly and philosophically sophisticated guide to the philosophy of a neglected century, but also much more than that. By rejecting the idea of renaissance philosophy, the editors make their readers see the whole development of modern philosophy in a new light. This Companion is essential reading for any student or researcher working on the history of philosophy." - John Marenbon, University of Cambridge"...the Companion rightly refuses to stick rigidly within the “century” – often the essays look back and forward, some explicitly going well into the seventeenth century because they have to do so. This offers intellectual coherence to many of the arguments. (...) The wealth of bibliographical sources presented here, alone, makes this a valuable resource."- Stuart Hannabuss, Independent Reviewer and Researcher, Aberdeen, UKTable of ContentsPrefaceIntroductionBenjamin Hill and Henrik Lagerlund I.
