By examining these small nations, the author provides a fresh perspective on how their persistence can inform current geopolitical dynamics.
The seven microstates of Europe are remarkable not only for their size, but their persistence as well. It is a sociopolitical phenomenon that has rarely been addressed, but this book shows how it may have clues for the larger understanding of the conflicting agencies of nationalism and globalism currently seen around the world.
Focusing on a remarkable family from Central Europe, the narrative explores their significant influence on American cooking through their business, Fleischmann's. From the Civil War to the onset of the Depression, they established a food empire that eventually became part of Nabisco.

The Fleischmann story embodies the spirit of American entrepreneurship and culinary tradition.
The ten papers presented in this eight volume of the Proceedings of the Ninth Seminar of the IATS, 2000, provide examples of the colourful and lively range of Tibetan self-expressions that exist within the modern homeland and in exile. The scholars here represent the fields of anthropology, sociology, literary studies, history, and political science. Four papers are based in studies in the modern Tibet Autonomous Region, five are grounded in the Tibetan diaspora, and one deals with both classical Tibetan history and current affairs. The mass representation of Tibetan self, delivered through various literary vehicles, by linguistic competence, body decoration, landscape, or individual deportment, constitutes the basic theme of this collection. The volume is useful for any student of Tibet and those interested in the process of identity formation and presentation.
