Paul's grandson, Dr Otto Brandt, visits his Aunt Alexandra in Spain where continual massacres erupt into civil war. Otto becomes entangled in the uprising led by General Prim against Spain's corrupt and incompetent government. The Spanish Queen Isabella flees to her French protectors. But France is eying an ever-strengthening German Federation with concern. If a member of the Prussian royal family accepts the vacant Spanish throne, the government of Napoleon III will react with hostility. General Prim sends Otto to Berlin via Paris. Worse, Bismarck sends him back along the same route. As the French economy totters war becomes inevitable. But Otto, a German, is trapped in Paris. Worse, he is trapped with thirty thousand other citizens of the German Federation. Elihu Washburne, the American Minister in Paris, works miracles. But where is Otto's sister?

THE ANGEL SCHEMES IN SPAIN. VOLUME FIVE OF THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. European peace, finally won at Waterloo and settled by Castlereagh in 1815, has begun to fray. By 1868, France is near bankruptcy again. The government of Louis Napoleon III has spent fortunes beautifying and modernizing Paris. It has also built a massive network of canals and railways. The projects have bought employment, but they have not been set up as profitable businesses and debt has mounted. Taxes have been raised over and again and even the peasants are impoverished. History tells observers that the French government goes to war to refill its coffers whenever the need arises. Will they do it again? Dr. Otto Brandt, Paul's grandson, travels to southern Spain with his sister, Amelia (a scandal in the making her mother is certain) on a family visit to their Aunt Sasha. Typically for the Brandts, they find trouble and step into General Prim's rebellion to overthrow the despotic Queen Isabella II. As a doctor, Otto is invited to join the rebel force. As an apprentice strumpet, Amelia follows Colonel De Torres, a rebel officer. Victorious and established in Madrid, Prim enlists Otto's aid and exposes him to the risks that spies must take. On his travels between Berlin, Paris and Madrid, Otto encounters the beautiful American agent Eleanor, but co-operation remains elusive. The international situation disintegrates as the French economy folds over. The Paris government casts possessive eyes over the vacant Spanish throne, even as the Prussians debate accepting it and war between France and Prussia becomes inevitable. German-speaking residents of Paris are targeted for retribution by an over-excited population and Elihu Washburne, the American Minister in Paris runs an escape route for twenty thousand victims trapped in the city. The Franco-Prussian War builds out of a newspaper fuelled lust for battle and blind faith in two new super weapons, La Mitrailleuse and Le fusil Chassepot. Too many vested interests make a tangled knot, that Otto must not cut, because both Eleanor and Amelia are entwined in it. Where are they? There is no time to lose as Paris resorts to the rattle and crash of the glittering guillotine to thin the ranks of its enemies, both real and of opportunity. Here is drama, intrigue and excitement as history churns in all its beastliness and complexity. ABOUT THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. The series, at the time of writing, comprises seven books ranging from the Napoleonic Wars (Vols 1-4), through The Franco-Prussian War (Vols 5,6), to the Cold War (Vol 7). They start when Germany was conceived and develop through its birth to modern times. (1950). The thread is the Brandt Family and their adventures. The environment is German history. History is written by the winner and, from ace to knave, it's a pack of lies. These books are not German history. They are a unique view of German history and the stories are told from this deserted and neglected standpoint. This, so-far, unilluminated emphasis discloses both a disguised truth and a hidden one. Germany is not the warmonger it has been painted and, as the series develops, readers' curiosity may be piqued into checking to see if they agree with the author's conclusions. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Oliver Fairfax is a nomad. A Scot by birth, he has wandered from England to Hong Kong and back - twice. He has lived in France and now in New Zealand. He worries that a generation is rising who cannot tell the difference between a citizen and a subject. He is concerned about the pervasive growth of regulation that cannot be afforded, cannot be complied with, but that seeks to remove free choice. He worries also about political correctness and the suppression of dissonance being two policies that misinform ordinary people's decision-making processes. But those irritants aside, life's great! - and remember, you should never have joined if you can't take a joke.

Author Constance Fenimore Woolson excelled in collecting and conveying the kind of small, seemingly trivial details about people and places that, taken together, create rich, multifaceted reading experiences. In the novel East Angels, an often fraught friendship between two women unfurls against the backdrop of a Spanish colonial town on the coast of Florida. Woolson describes both the unraveling of the tense relationship and the unique culture of Florida with unparalleled realism and precision.

The world over, no sportsman - and maybe no other individual - provokes more fascination, argument and interest than the Londoner with the film-star looks, David Beckham. No sports team exudes more glamour, has won more competitions or possesses a more dazzling collection of superstars than Real Madrid. The fusion of the two has gripped the attention of millions and changed the face of the world's favourite sport, making a clear divide between the Old Football and the New. White Angels is the insider's look at what happened to make the historic deal. John Carlin has had unprecedented access to the Real Madrid team, travelling with them to matches and conducting extensive interviews with the players and its charismatic and driven chairman Florentino Pérez. White Angels describes how Beckham's transfer took place, and the machinations and intrigue behind it. It details Beckham's first year at Real, and how he fared on the field alongside such global stars as Figo, Zidane, Carlos, Raúl and Ronaldo.

When European notions about angels and demons were exported to the New World, they underwent remarkable adaptations. Angels and demons came to form an integral part of the Spanish American cosmology, leading to the emergence of colonial urban and rural landscapes set within a strikingly theological framework. Belief in celestial and demonic spirits soon regulated and affected the daily lives of Spanish, Indigenous and Mestizo peoples, while missionary networks circulated these practices to create a widespread and generally accepted system of belief that flourished in seventeenth-century Baroque culture and spirituality. This study of angels and demons opens a particularly illuminating window onto intellectual and cultural developments in the centuries that followed the European encounter with America. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of religious studies, anthropology of religion, history of ideas, Latin American colonial history and church history.

Eco-labelling is one of the key tools used by policy-makers in many parts of the world to encourage more sustainable production and consumption. By providing environmental information on products and services, eco-labels address both business users and consumers and range from mandatory approaches, such as required product declarations, to voluntary approaches, such as national eco-labels. Eco-labels can play an important role in environmental policy. They reward and promote environmentally superior goods and services and offer information on quality and performance with respect to issues such as health and energy consumption. Eco-labels fit well into a multi-stakeholder policy framework – as promulgated recently by the EU's integrated product policy (IPP) – since the development of criteria for labels and the acceptance in the market requires the involvement of a wide range of different parties, from government and business, to consumers and environmental organisations. However, many eco-labelling schemes have had troubled histories, and questions have been raised about their effectiveness. So, are eco-labels an effective tool to foster the development, production, sale and use of products and to provide consumers with good information about the environmental impacts of those products? Is eco-labelling useful to business as a marketing tool? What factors contribute to the development of successful schemes? More than ten years after its establishment, can the EU Flower be considered a success? Are national eco-labels such as the German Blue Angel and the Norwegian White Swan more effective? Should eco-labels be harmonised? Are eco-labels achieving their original aim of fostering sustainable production and consumption? For which product groups are ISO type I eco-labels appropriate and inappropriate? Are other labels, such as mandatory, ISO type II and ISO type III labels more effective in some cases? Are eco-labels focusing on the main environmental policy targets or just on "low-hanging fruit"? Are eco-labels really linked to other tools of IPP? The Future of Eco-labelling provides answers to all of these questions. Based on a major EU research exercise, the book plots a course for policy-makers to address some of the historic problems with eco-labelling, to learn what works and what doesn't and to move forward with schemes that can make a real difference to sustainable production and consumption.The book analyses the conditions under which eco-labelling schemes-both mandatory and voluntary-are or can become an efficient and effective tool to achieve given objectives; assesses previous experiences with eco-labels in different European countries and the relationship of these schemes with business strategies, IPP and market conditions; defines strategies aimed at linking eco-labels with other IPP measures; explores how eco-labels can be used to encourage sustainable consumption patterns, create green markets, foster innovation and development of green products and services, and implement multi-stakeholder initiatives; and sets out detailed recommendations for the future of eco-labelling.The book will be required reading for policy-makers, businesses involved with eco-labelling schemes and researchers interested in the development of sustainable production and consumption and IPP worldwide.
