Stability amid the Netherlands Revolt

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the heart of Europe lies Lille, a city that has witnessed centuries of turmoil and transformation. This book delves into the rich tapestry of Lille's history, exploring the forces that have shaped the city and its people over the centuries.

From its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe to its enduring spirit in the face of adversity, Lille's story is one of resilience, adaptation, and transformation. Through a comprehensive examination of primary sources, this book sheds new light on Lille's experience during the tumultuous Dutch revolt and its subsequent journey through the centuries.

Lille's tale begins in the 16th century, a time of religious and political upheaval. Caught in the crossfire of the Dutch revolt, the city's population found itself deeply divided along religious and economic lines. Radical factions emerged, escalating tensions and leading to the outbreak of violence. The subsequent siege of Lille by Spanish forces brought immense suffering and destruction upon the city and its people.

In the aftermath of the siege, Lille entered a new era of stability under Spanish rule. Protestantism was suppressed, and Catholicism was restored as the dominant religion. The city experienced economic and cultural revival, playing a significant role within the Habsburg Empire. However, the 17th century brought fresh challenges, including the rise of France as a major European power.

The French conquest of Lille in the 17th century marked a transformative moment in the city's history. French rule brought about significant economic and social changes, including the growth of new industries and businesses. Lille faced further challenges in the 18th century, including the social and political tensions arising from the Industrial Revolution. The 19th century witnessed Lille's involvement in major historical events, such as the Franco-Prussian War and the rise of socialism and labor movements.

The 20th century brought both triumphs and trials for Lille. The city endured the hardships of World War I and World War II, emerging with resilience and determination. In the postwar period, Lille confronted economic and social challenges, yet it also played a vital role in the European Union. As the city looks towards the future, it faces new opportunities and uncertainties in the 21st century.

This book is a comprehensive exploration of Lille's rich history, offering a unique perspective on the city's resilience and transformation. Through its detailed analysis of primary sources, the book sheds new light on Lille's experience during the Dutch revolt and its subsequent journey through the centuries. It is a must-read for anyone interested in European history, urban development, or the human experience in the face of adversity.

What Universities Owe Democracy

Ronald J. Daniels, Phillip...

Universities play an indispensable role within modern democracies. But this role is often overlooked or too narrowly conceived, even by universities themselves. In What Universities Owe Democracy, Ronald J. Daniels, the president of Johns Hopkins University, argues that—at a moment when liberal democracy is endangered and more countries are heading toward autocracy than at any time in generations—it is critical for today's colleges and universities to reestablish their place in democracy. 
 
 
 
Drawing upon fields as varied as political science, economics, history, and sociology, Daniels identifies four distinct functions of American higher education that are key to liberal democracy: social mobility, citizenship education, the stewardship of facts, and the cultivation of pluralistic, diverse communities. By examining these roles over time, Daniels explains where colleges and universities have faltered in their execution of these functions—and what they can do going forward. 
 
 
 
Looking back on his decades of experience leading universities, Daniels offers bold prescriptions for how universities can act now to strengthen democracy. For those committed to democracy's future prospects, this book is a vital resource.

The Truce - Progressives...

Hunter Walker, Luppe B. n

The Truce is a definitive history of a half-decade of upheaval in the Democratic Party in which a new generation aggressively pursued their progressive ideals while the powerful, centrist establishment adapted to remain in command. Journalists Hunter Walker and Luppe B. Luppen illuminate this story of backroom maneuvering and political strategy with new revelations about pivotal events and exclusive, on-the-record comments from activists, campaign operatives, and members of Congress. 
 
 
 
The Truce explores the major fault lines that define Democratic politics today and asks big questions about the future of the party. Will economic or social justice hold primacy at the top of the Democratic agenda? Who will lead the major wings of the party after two defining figures, Biden and Sanders, exit the stage? The Truce surveys the major shifts underway, from the rise of the Squad and new Democratic leadership in the House to a complete overhaul of the primary process. By digging into the divide between left and center, Walker and Luppen expose the creeping generational and political tensions that Biden has—for the moment—kept at bay. 
 
 
 
An engrossing work, and a surprising must-listen, The Truce grapples with the dangers that threaten American democracy and the complicated cast of characters who are trying to save it.

Starved for Light - The Long...

Christian Warren

A wide-ranging history of rickets tracks the disease’s emergence, evolution, and eventual treatment—and exposes the backstory behind contemporary worries about vitamin D deficiency. Rickets, a childhood disorder that causes soft and misshapen bones, transformed from an ancient but infrequent threat to a common scourge during the Industrial Revolution. Factories, mills, and urban growth transformed the landscape. Malnutrition and insufficient exposure to sunlight led to severe cases of rickets across Europe and the United States, affecting children in a variety of settings: dim British cities and American slave labor camps, moneyed households and impoverished ones. By the late 1800s, it was one of the most common pediatric diseases, seemingly an intractable consequence of modern life. Starved for Light offers the first comprehensive history of this disorder. Tracing the efforts to understand, prevent, and treat rickets—first with the traditional remedy of cod liver oil, then with the application of a breakthrough corrective, industrially produced vitamin D supplements—Christian Warren places the disease at the center of a riveting medical history, one alert to the ways society shapes our views on illness. 
 

Sweeping and engaging, Starved for Light illuminates the social conditions underpinning our cures and our choices, helping us to see history’s echoes in contemporary prescriptions.
