This volume offers a lively and accessible guide to some of the major issues current in French philosophy today and to some of the figures who are or have been influential in shaping its development. The collection is unusual and interesting in bringing together a range of contributors from both Britain and France, and is intended not only for professional philosophers but also for those with a more general interest in the French intellectual scene.

At the end of the Cold War, the Balkan states of South East Europe were in crisis. They had emerged from two decades of hardline communism with their economies in disarray and authoritarian leaders poised to whip up nationalist feelings so as to cling on to power. The break up of Yugoslavia followed in 1991 along with prolonged instability in Romania, Bulgaria and Albania. The Balkans After The Cold War analyzes these turbulent events, which led to violence on a scale not seen in Europe for nearly 50 years and offers a detailed critique of Western policy towards the region. This volume follows on from the recently published Outcast Europe: The Balkans, 1789 - 1989 - from the Ottomans to Milosevic, also by Tom Gallagher.

Born in Italy, the first avant-garde of the twentieth century - before Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism -, Futurism is a major landmark in the history of art and of modern thought. Rather than a school of painting or literature, it was a revolutionary movement whose aim was to create a new awareness and a new approach to the world in general and to art in particular. It embodied the determination to perpetually regenerate man confronted with the progress of technology (electricity, mechanization, telecommunication ...). The Futurists' challenge was to combine all the aspects of modernism within aesthetic creation, re-considering them both in a single dynamic sweep. Ranging from plastic arts to culinary arts, they gave birth to amazing works that would become references for the following avant-gardes, and today, a legacy claimed by many artists. In this reference summing-up, the author reviews the different aesthetic stages of the movement, from "plastic dynamism" in the 1910s to aeropainting in the 1930s, and examines the relationship, long the object of controversy, between the movement and the Italian Fascist government.
