The authors offer a new approach to the study of totalitarian trends in European societies significantly different from the previous one exploring mainly the historical and institutional-procedural aspects. The book not only offers interesting conclusions drawn from empirical research but also proposes an intellectually attractive theoretical model of understanding totalitarianism that can be used for further research.  The impulse for this reflection was the research work performed by the authors on a cohort of contemporary youths from seven countries of Central and Eastern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  Contributors    Introduction   Miracle Collections in Their Contexts    Sari Katajala-Peltomaa, Jenni Kuuliala and Iona McCleery    1 Writing Miracle Collections    Louise Elizabeth Wilson    2 Miracles in Monastic Culture    Emilia Jamroziak    3 The Canonization of Saints in the Middle Ages   Procedure, Documentation, Meanings    Roberto Paciocco    4 Practical Matters   Canonization Records in the Making    Sari Katajala-Peltomaa and Jenni Kuuliala    5 Heretics, Hemorrhages, and Herrings   Miracles and the Canonizations of Dominican Saints    Donald S.
