Encyclopedia of Exploration to 1800
A comprehensive reference guide to the history and literature of exploration, travel and colonization from the earliest times to the year 1800. The vast scope of the Encyclopedia of Exploration makes it a work unlike any other in its combination of historical, biographical and bibliographical data. It includes a catalogue of all known expeditions, voyages and travels, as well as biographical information on the travellers themselves, which places them in their historical context. The Encyclopedia of Exploration to 1800 is a massive undertaking resulting in a work that extends to 1.2 million words in almost 1200 pages. The 2327 major articles have generated index entries totalling more than 7500 names of persons or ships mentioned in the text. Within the text itself there are about 4000 cross-references between articles. Altogether nearly 20,000 bibliographical citations accompany the articles. A considerable quantity of information in this book is presented here for the first time in English.
The 1994 Elections to the European Parliament
This analysis of the 1994 Euro-elections is written by authorities with an understanding both of the background to the European Union and of current events. The contributors are also aware of why the 1994 Euro-elections are the first of a new style of election: they are the first to be conducted in the European Union and after the European Parliament has enjoyed an appreciable change in its legislative powers, following the introduction of the cooperation procedure under the Single Act and the co-decision procedure under the Maastricht Treaty; they are the first to be conducted in a European Union preoccupied with the classic questions of political discourse - they form part of a continuing dialogue as to how best to realize and reconcile democratic practices and open government with efficient and effective decision-making.
