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.

Clocks and Watches in Colour combines superb, full colour illustrations with a detailed text and notes to provide a treasury of the most innovative and beautiful clocks and watches from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, France, England, the United States, Japan and China. Specific examples include the ultimate in decorative metalwork - the silver-and-gilt-cased clock by Adriaen Van den Bergh, the magnificent veneer work of Roger Dunster and the eight-day longcase clock that remained essentially unchanged for 150 years. Andrew Nicholls describes the history of clockmaking from its ancient astronomical beginnings through the pendulum clock created by Dutch scientist, Christian Huygens, to America's mass-produced clocks of the present century. Throughout this history, he continually shows how competition among clockmakers led to superior designs and technological advances, such as Ben Franklin's revolutionary design which dispensed with motion work behind the dial. For centuries the watch has represented the highpoint of mechanical endeavour. The techniques and skills of the watchmaker with its miracles of precision put the horological world leaps ahead of allied engineering fields. In 1764 John Arnold made a ring watch less than one centimetre in diameter that struck the hours, the quarter hours and the half quarters. Shortly before this John Harrison completed a portable time-keeper that measured time to within an accuracy of about 2 parts in 1 million. But watches were more than a marvel of engineering; they represented a wealth of artistic effort. Watches in Colour, encapsulates the wonders and artistry of the world of watches through the masterly text of author Richard Good and the brilliant camera work of Bob Loosemore.
