Book Description:
This unique book examines the history, culture, and inner workings of the seven smallest independent countries in Europe. These are among the oldest states on the continent and, despite their diversity, they have much in common. Most have relatively high per capita incomes and life expectancies, and relatively low unemployment. This narrative presents the unique issues that confront small countries, including maintaining their independence, economic viability, preserving their native languages, and sustaining their governments. The second part of the book describes each microstate in turn, showing how each one has met these challenges and adapted over time. These concise and engaging chapters contain cultural information on subjects including the arts, gastronomy, and popular tourist sites.

Grace: The Secret Lives of a Princess (Thorndike Press Large Print Basic Series)

ISBN-13: 9780896218390
Published: 1987-11
Publisher: Thorndike Pr

Book Description:
Based on dozens of exclusive interviews-with members of Grace's family, her lovers and friends, and colleagues such as Cary Grant, James Stewart and Gore Vidal-this book presents a Grace Kelly we have never seen before. It paints a compassionate portrait of a creative, talented, intelligent woman whose entire life was devoted to living up to the expectations of others, and whose repeated attempts to grab the brass ring left her more and more disillusioned. After this book, we will never think of Princess Grace in quite the same way again.
