Individuals, Groupings, and Technological Change, 1800-2000 This non-technical introduction to modern European intellectual history traces the evolution of ideas and understanding in the region from the turn of the 19th century to today. Placing particular emphasis on the huge technological and scientific changes that have taken place over the last two centuries, David Galaty shows how intellectual life has been driven by the conditions and problems posed by this world of technology. In an accessible, jargon-free style, Galaty unpicks these debates and historically analyses how thought – on all manner of subjects – has developed in Europe since the time of the French Revolution.

County and Nobility in Norman Italy Aristocratic Agency in the Kingdom of Sicily, 1130-1189 Hervin Fernández-Aceves, University of Lancaster, UK Whilst historians often regard the Norman Kingdom of Sicily as centralised and administratively advanced, County and Nobility in Norman Italy counters this traditional interpretation; far from centralised and streamlined, this book reveals how the genesis and social structures of the kingdom were constantly fraught between the forces of royal power and local aristocracy authority. The result of thorough research on primary sources, this book sheds important new light on medieval Italy.

H I S T O R Y – European History
Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe
Imagining Utopia, 1870s - 1920s
With a focus on Bulgaria, Maria Todorova’s book examines the promise for an alternative socialist utopia from 1870 to the 1920s. The Lost World of Socialists at Europe’s Margins innovatively moves beyond the traditional historiographical emphasis on ideology by looking at different intersections or entanglements of spaces, generations, genders, ideas and feelings, and different flows of historical time.
