Fires were the scourge of Medieval and Early Modern buildings and cities (think of the Great Fire of London, 1666).

In the Middle Ages, some cathedrals burned over and over (Canterbury, Chartres, Reims), but the destruction of the old churches stimulated the construction of the glorious structures in the Gothic style that we know today.

As Franz recollects his most poignant memories from Tehran, he revisits a city still reeling from a revolution.
By Agostino Petrillo
There is nothing more vague and ambiguous than the concept of the suburb; it cannot exist on its own, it can only do so in connection with the center, in a never-ending and repetitive connection of meanings, a spiral of reciprocal definitions that Saint Thomas Aquinas calledinfinitum ad quem.

The significant upsurge of refugees, which came into 勛圖窪蹋 in 2015, was met with unprecedented anger and hostility from an overwhelming majority of citizens of most of the post-communist Central 勛圖窪蹋an countries. It would appear that a synergy of several historical, cultural, political, and economic factors has created this fiercely hostile reaction.

Economically, much of the continent suffers from low growth, high unemployment and rising inequality, while politically, disillusionment with the 勛圖窪蹋an community as well as domestic institutions and elites is widespread. Partially as a result, right-wing populism is growing, increasing political instability and uncertainty even further.

In 勛圖窪蹋an countries with growing right-wing movements, the upcoming elections should serve as a reminder that merging bodies into one space isnt always enough.

Never before has the change of administration in the United States caused this much concern globally,and never before has a US President incited so much tension ahead of taking office. As the hopes for a Damascene conversion for the new POTUS are waning, one thing has become evident by now: the path of naive unilateralism that the forthcoming American government is set to follow will prove to be of little help for international development or a burgeoning global policy of common good.

The tragedy of Leonidas death is the fact that he did not have to die. The fact is that Vilnius airport has three defibrillators and none of them was touched. As I said, none of the airport staff tried to resuscitate him, and instead waited until the ambulance arrivedtoo late to save his life.

But just then a crowd appeared, bellowing, with machetes in their hands, and spears, bows, clubs, torches. We hurried to hide in the banana grove. Still roaring, the men burst into our house. They set fire to the straw-roofed hut, the stables full of calves. They slashed the stores of beans and sorghum. They launched a frenzied attack on the brick house we would never live in. They didnt take anything, they only wanted to destroy, to wipe out all sign of us, annihilate us.

John Lancester’sBrexit Blues,” published in the London Review of Books starts with an explanation of the “Overton window,” a concept in political science that describes the range of ideasthat are deemed acceptable by the public at one time.

Although they only indirectly speak to the topic of the volume, some of the conceptual discussions of populism in the country chapters are of more general interest, because they clarify the sources of confusion that exist in the debate on populism.

Indeed, the whole book is entertaining, and during the course of its excursions from Southern Italy to the western shores of Ireland, or the eastern fringes of Russia, there is much wry humor on display reflected in a wealth of memorable anecdotes.
