It is also designed as supplementary reading for courses in international relations, diplomatic history, and foreign policy. An appendix contains the text of eighteen major arms control agreements.

French Instituions: Values and Politics $13.27 Saul K. Padover with the collaboration of Francois Goguel, Luis Rosenstock-Franck, and Eric Weil Book

French Instituions: Values and Politics $13.27 Saul K. Padover with the collaboration of Francois Goguel, Luis Rosenstock-Franck, and Eric Weil Book FRENCH INSTITUTIONS Values and Politics By Saul K. Padover with collaboration from Francois Goguel, Louis Rosenstock-Franck, and Eric Weil Publishered in 1947, this is one of a group of four related studies on French politics and society planned for the Hoover Institute Studies. This group also includes a study of national character by Rhoda Metraux and Margaret Mead, and two studies of French political symbolism and elites by Daniel Lerner and the RADIR staff. These, together with Mr. Padover's study of French political institutions and values, may give the reader an overview of the dynamics of modern France as a participant in the world political community. Dean Padover's volume, worked out in collaboration with three prominent French scholars, surveys the conflicting values in the traditions of the French Revolution and French conservatism. It then examines what has happened to these values under the impact of twentieth-century social problems, war, and defeat. This study was initiated as part of the RADIR Project (Revolution and the Development of International Relations), of which Mr. Padover was a consultant. This is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the original: Title: French Institutions Author: Saul K. Padover Publisher: Stanford University Press 1947 ISBN: 080473271X

Cable Car Days in San Francisco $18.18 Edgar M. Kahn Book

Cable Car Days in San Francisco $18.18 Edgar M. Kahn Book For more than a half-century the cable cars of San Francisco have been one fo the city's most characteristic features. Here, where this form of transportation originated, it still possesses a distinctive charm which no San Franciscan or visitor ever completely forgets, no matter how far he may foam from the city of the hisll beside the Golden Gate. This is an informal narrative. Through its pages march many notable characters of the city's eventful past, and many a long-forgotten anecdote with all its variety and flavor has here been retold. Time has continued to take its toll of the cable cars since the first editio f this book was published four years ago. It is well therefore to have the story brought up to date. In this new edition Mr. Kahn has added new illustrations, rewritten entirely the last chapter on the present status of the cable cars, and has added a more complete account of the Market /Street Cable Railway Company and the Sutter Street Calbe Railroad Company. This is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the original edition. Please view the preview before purchase.
