Raymond Aron is widely regarded as the most important figure in the history of twentieth-century French liberalism. Yet his status within the history of liberal thought has been more often proclaimed than explained. Though he is frequently lauded as the inheritor of France's liberal tradition, Aron's formative influences were mostly non-French and often radically anti-liberal thinkers. This book explains how, why, and with what consequences he belatedly defined and aligned himself with a French liberal tradition. It also situates Aron within the larger histories of Cold War liberalism and decolonization, re-evaluating his contribution to debates over totalitarianism, the end of ideology, and the Algerian War. By exposing the enduring importance of Aron's student political engagements for the development of his thought, Iain Stewart challenges the prevailing view of Aron's early intellectual trajectory as a journey from naïve socialist idealism to mature liberal realism, offering a new critical perspective on one of the twentieth century's most influential intellectuals.

Scotsman Ewan MacBride and German Peter Baum, both have 'histories' from their homelands that force them to stow away aboard a ship bound for Canada. With skills in blacksmithing and cooperage, the two men soon forge a brotherly friendship and together build a successful business in the thriving harbour city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. However, with the outbreak of World War I, the two friends find themselves on opposite sides, wearing the uniforms of the Canadian Expeditionary Force and the German Imperial army. The Heathery Isle brings to vivid life many historic battles including Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Verdun, Passchendaele, and the Last 100 Days, plus the sinking of the Titanic and the Halifax Explosion. As these two young men come of age in the battlefield trenches, they develop a mutual loathing for war and a deep longing to be reunited with their wives and the young children they barely know....

Although Britain occupies only a sliver of the Earth's crust - a mere one and a half percent of the world's land area - it boasts a remarkable diversity of geology. Every major division of geological time is represented in the rocks of England, Scotland and Wales. From the gnarled Lewisian gneisses of the Scotland's northwest to the stripling Quaternary lowlands of the Norfolk Broads and the London basin, Geologica Britannica traces the 3000-million-year evolution of the unique landscape of the island of Britain. Above all, Geologica Britannica reveals what our geology has meant for us - for our nation's industrial and technological development, its architecture and buildings, its cultural and artistic roots, its creation of a sense of region and place. Ultimately, Geologica Britannica is the story of the intersection of people, rocks and landscape.
