Trade Paperback. Condizione: Good. Second Edition. 270 Pages Indexed. Heavy highlighting throughout entire book. With the end of the Cold War, and the prospect of federal Europe, this is a time to reassess the processes by which postwar Europe was reborn. How each western European country constructed its own version of the affluent society and the welfare state. Out of the devastation of 1945 is the subject of this ambitious study. The author gives an account of the practicalities of reconstruction - how it was done, what it cost, who paid for it and what they hoped to receive. He throws light on the distance between the wartime dream of Europe. He also makes clear how it was possible that, devastated by two world wars capitalism in Europe could recover within a decade to flourish as never before. This book examines the issues for the subsequent history of Europe. How was it possible for the ruined nations of 1945 to keep up ever more costly defences in the Cold War and yet carry through a revolution in welfare and consumption? As the more prosperous part of Europe became ever more dependent on the United States, how did the comprehensive projection of American power influence the reorganisation? In synthesising the main political, strategic and economic developments from 1945 to the mid-50s, the author makes use of recent research to test older interpretations of the period. He shows that more was changing than just the economy. Progress was defined more in economic terms. It set the terms for competition with the Soviet system, and ushered in the era of the economic miracles. The author is Associate Professor of International History at the University of Bologna, Italy.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book explores how two million years of natural selection left us with a strong tendency to bestow purposeful intention to the natural worldforming a robust cognitive basis for religious belief across human cultures. This cognitive legacy forms the foundation of much of how we interpret the world around us today, and understanding the reasons why and how it evolved can shed light on the peculiar relationships we sometimes form with the many complex social institutions of our time, including one of the most dominant and ubiquitous ones, the nation-state.To explore how our tendencies for religious belief interact with the complex social institutions we currently live under, we go on a journey from the start of the Pleistocene era to domestication, from ancient states to colonialism, and from the industrial revolution to the birth of modern nations, all while tracking the various biological, cognitive, and social elements that explain why today we interpret the nation-state (and other modern social institutions) in very similar ways to how we understood deities of the ancient past. Understanding why and how this happens requires reconstructing how evolution shaped our cognition, how complex social organizations arose after domestication, how they act as external forces to ourselves, and how they grew into distinct and cohesive social entities that our cognition interprets as purposeful players with agency and intent.This book continues the long-held tradition in the social sciences of making this type of interdisciplinary synthesis accessible to the general public, and for that reason, it minimizes discipline-specific jargon and describes experiments and results rather than relying on cited works.
