The editors assemble evidence to illustrate both the positive and the negative aspects of the eschatological element in mediaeval thought. An interdisciplinary approach, wit hits comparative study of sources, helps to highlight the intellectual preoccupations of many religious thinkers who grappled with the overwhelming prospect of Universal destruction, questioned the role of the individual in the economy of salvation, and attempted to see the relevance of everyday social and political events to a vision of history in which the end is nearer than the beginning.

Les îles de l'Empire Byzantin est un ouvrage consacré à l'histoire des îles de la Méditerranée orientale à l'époque médiévale, avant l'établissement des Occidentaux. L'auteur étudie les différents spects de cette histoire mouvementée que fut l'histoire insulaire à cette époque : histoire politique d'un monde situé sur les frontières et dont la survie était liée à la puissance maritime de Byzance ; histoire du peuplement d'un monde hérité de l'Antiquité et confronté aux invasions et aux nouveaux flux de population, histoire administrative d'une région à double appartenance, maritime et continentale, devant s'adapter aux nécessités de la stratégie et aux impératifs démographiques, histoire économique et sociale d'un milieu spécifique à la fois par sa diversité interne et par sa profonde intégration au reste de l'Empire. L'ouvrage se termine par l'étude des relations des îles avec le reste de la Méditerranée Orientale, qui caractérisent ce monde éclaté et multiple.

Nearly onequarter of America is covered with forests—almost 800 million acres. There are 151 national forests, comprising close to 200 million acres in thirtynine states and Puerto Rico. These protected lands are administered by the U.S. Forest Service, an agency of the Department of Agriculture. David Clary here examines the history of and controversies surrounding the Forest Service’s policies for timber management in our national forests.In this first indepth study of the political, bureaucratic, social, and ideological relationships between the Forest Service and the production of timber, Clary traces the continuity in the agency’s outlook from its creation in 1905 through fears of a “timber famine” to the “clearcutting” controversies of the mid 1970s. He shows convincingly that, despite legislative remedies and agency reports, timber production has remained the agency’s first priority and that other (multiple uses—recreation, watershed protection, wilderness, livestock grazing, and wildlife management—were regulated so that they would not interfere with potential timber harvests. Throughout its history, the agency is shown to have been enchanted with the objective of producing timber.Clary’s theme, in what he describes as an “administrative, political, scientific, and anecdotal history,” is that the Forest Service exhibited consistent actions and attitudes over the years and failed to confront realistically changes in the national culture that altered what the American people wanted from the forests and the Forest Service.

Alexander Pushkin's dazzling poetic masterpiece, Eugene Onegin (1823–1831), occupies a unique place in the history of Russian culture, regarded as the national epic as well as the cornerstone of the nineteenth-century Russian novel. Onegin is so central to Russian culture that generations of Russians have been on intimate terms with its characters, its form, and its flavor, and, from the time of its publication until the present, every important critical movement or literary theory has addressed it. Yet, because the poem's literary qualities are exceptionally difficult to convey in translation, Onegin is little known among non-Russians. This anthology, presenting in English the most influential nineteenth- and twentieth-century criticism devoted to Onegin, offers English-speaking readers an appreciation of the poem's hold on the Russian imagination while illuminating the history of Russian criticism itself.
