Israel plays a "Role" the MOVIE 'WORLD WAR Z
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
There's very little agenda here, and the film's protagonist models solid virtues, like love and commitment to his family, compassion for the suffering and self-sacrifice for the good of others. The movie mostly models people placed in an impossible situation and still responding with kindness, even civility as civilization collapses around them. It even ends on a hopeful note, appealing to our better instincts.
I have to note, especially in the first few moments of the film, you can catch a taste of a leftist, Hollywood worldview seeping through (as you'd expect, frankly), as the movie clangs the "global warming" bell for a few moments and definitely has a pro-United Nations feels to it (although that may be merely a function of the protagonist being a U.N. worker).
Curiously, however, the leftist worldview takes a backseat when the film's story takes the action to Jerusalem.
The left is a breeding ground for pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel sentiment, quick as it is to swallow the lies of effective propagandists painting Israel as the "Western imperialist occupation" of Arab land. History, of course, reveals a very different reality, but facts rarely get in the way of a good "victim" story for most liberals.
And for a brief moment, it appears as if "World War Z" is going to take a wild, anti-Israel swing, as a CIA agent accuses the Jewish state of knowing about the zombie outbreak ahead of time and protecting itself while the world burns.
Without giving too much away, however, rather than painting Israel as some sort of genocidal snake, "World War Z" ends up revealing the Jewish state as a glowing, if tragic, paragon of compassion and good will.

I am expecting a litter of puppies the week of April 18 and a second litter due May 15. Both litters are sire by field trial champions. The dam of litter #1 is Mudbone's Christine's Camy. Camy is Tom Gelastopoulos' personal hunting dog that has field trial points. The sire of these pups is FC Bravo Haulin Olympic Spirit. The pedigrees speak for themselves. The second litter is out of BK's Mudbone Scheherazade, also a field trial winner and winner of the prestigious Califonria Futurity of 2011. The sire is "Rocko, " FC Upwind Tonka Geode. Rocko has a wonderfully quiet demeanor that explodes into action when taken afield. I believe these pups of both litters will make fine hunting dogs and companions.

Review: Flight of the Conchords live
Relevant offers
REVIEW: Flight of the Conchords
Hawke's Bay Opera House, Hastings, June 13
The Conchords landed in Hastings last night with their clever wit and catchy tunes, wooing the sold-out crowd in their first New Zealand show since 2009.
American comedian Arj Barker, also known as Dave, the pawn-shop guy in the pair's TV sitcom, warmed up the audience with lines packed full of punch.
But it was Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie that the fans came to see – and they didn't disappoint.
Silhouettes of a robot-shaped duo sent the crowd into a frenzy, as did the Conchords' robotic moves during Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor.
They kept up the techno pace for Robots, apart from the odd costume blip as their spray-painted cardboard helmets bumped the microphone. But there was always an awkward joke or anecdote to make the crowd laugh.
The lads invited the audience to share in their "intimate relationship" by offering a new piece, during which Clement took on the woman's role to match McKenzie's masculine part.
The band were then joined by Nigel, "a sympathy orchestra" or lone cello player.
Business Time proved to be the biggest hit, with the crowd singing along to the catchy chorus.
With the audience eating out of their hands, the pair conducted a sing-along of Epiletic Dogs – with the crowd again carrying the song home.
The pace picked up again for Bowie, before a brief blackout allowed them to strip down to sparkly Bowie-inspired tops.
But not satisfied with a little bit of glitter, they added capes and revealed the full-length Lycra outfit hiding beneath their shirts.
Clement said that, after seeing Lady Gaga, they felt they had to up their game – and they did as they rocked Demon Woman home.
Each song offered something different, proving just how versatile and talented this duo really are.

Xcel Energy has been granted a rate hike that will have the average customer paying $9 more per-month starting in January. The State Public Utilities Commission approved the interim rate hike Thursday. The overall increase is $250-million, or about 9%. The higher rate stays in effect while the PUC considers another increase of nearly 11% in 2013. Xcel serves a total of 1.2-million customers in Minnesota. The company says the increase is necessary to recover investments in its two nuclear plants, and cited a drop in electric sales and the need to pay for other power plant and transmission upgrades. It's the fifth electric rate hike for Minnesota Xcel customers in the past seven years.

Super Rugby
Todd Blackadder says he was blindsided by the revelations of widespread doping and corruption in Australian sport.
The former All Blacks captain, who has been involved with the Crusaders for over a decade as a player and head coach, said he had never had any inkling the problems highlighted by the Australian Crimes Commission this week existed.
Blackadder emphasised he believed the Crusaders were a clean organisation.
After learning of the report he said he had held informal discussions with several of the Crusaders management team, including Doctor Deb Robinson - who is also the All Blacks doctor - and was confident any supplements used by his players wouldn't break any laws.
"The guys only take what they are prescribed, so I am pretty sure they are (all clean)," Blackadder said.
"That is why the medical staff take these things so seriously, you have to know what product you are giving the guys because if they are banned substances - well, you should be aware of that."
During his time as an amateur and professional player and coach, Blackadder said he hadn't heard any rumours of doping or corruption in New Zealand rugby.
"In my whole career I have never come across it. I have never been involved with it, I have never heard of it, I have never seen it. I would be really surprised if anyone in New Zealand was involved.
"I am not sure if it is in our nature. The only thing we are involved with in New Zealand is hard work and I don't think anyone would give their guys anything that hasn't been passed or ticked off."
Having the New Zealand Rugby Union involved with the franchises, he believed, was a major benefit.
"Because the NZRU owns all the franchises and the high performance sports science guys will want to be across everything like that."

The Good Doctor: Film Review
The Bottom Line
A risk-averse film about an out-of-bounds, not so good doctor with pernicious hidden talents.
Lance Daly
John Enbom
Orlando Bloom, Riley Keough, Taraji P. Henson, Rob Morrow, Michael Pena, Troy Garity, Molly Price, Wade Williams, J.K. Simmons
Orlando Bloom leads this psychosexual film that is less about medicine than the banality of evil.
Orlando Bloom, playing a first year medical resident with an important piece of equipment missing from his kit, craves worship and goes to extraordinary, psychopathic lengths to get it in The Good Doctor, a tense, psychosexual film that could make people think twice before checking into a hospital. Bloom has a following from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and as a leading man in light romantic comedy, but he's a long way from either of those personas in this outing, and without other big-name stars, the doctor's box office prognosis is only fair.
Directed with a measure of ironic detachment by Irishman Lance Daly (Kisses), working from a competent screenplay with elements of black comedy by John Enbom, the film, set in the flawed paradise of Southern California, is less about medicine than the banality of evil and the narcissism of Dr. Martin Blake (Bloom), an outwardly courteous young doctor whose ambition and homicidal tendencies are masked by his good manners and pallid affectless exterior. Early on, following a serious mistake with a patient, there are hints he may be a calculating impostor but, in a deftly handled shift, it turns out he's a far more sinister breed.
Blake blows a gasket when he becomes obsessed with the teenage Diane, an angelic-looking, blue-eyed blond patient (well played by Riley Keough), whose vulnerability and girlish flirting trigger his famished ego. Invited to dinner at her grateful parents' home, he spikes her meds to ensure her return to the hospital. Once there and again under his "care," he takes steps that lead to her becoming mortally ill. He's surprisingly cunning and adept at covering his tracks but, when an orderly (Michael Pena) blackmails him with incriminating evidence, his criminality escalates.
With his cheap sport jackets and antisocial tendencies, Blake doesn't seem like a candidate for advancement but ruthlessness and an absence of conscience have their advantages as does being a blank slate; others project onto him what they want to see. He manages to allay the suspicions of a vigilant, in-your-face nurse (a feisty Taraji P. Henson), whom he feels superior to, and snookers his supervising physician (Rob Morrow in an odd, underwritten part).
The film is most enjoyable when Blake careens out of control, hurtling down stairwells in a full-on panic, furtively stealing hospital supplies, poisoning pharmaceuticals or climbing out of his bathroom window to escape a baffled, not terribly tenacious police detective (the always reliable J.K. Simmons.) But Enbom's overly cautious script and Bloom's recessive portrayal offer too few clues to the origins of the doctor's behavior to make him understandable and, by not heightening the horror aspects of the story, Daly doesn't go far enough to give the audience a satisfying jolt of danger and dramatic kick.
Yaron Orbach's cinematography conveys Blake's isolation—he's often framed alone in shots on deserted streets, in empty hallways or gazing out to sea on an expansive stretch of beach, and is rarely buffeted by the traffic of a busy hospital. Some scenes appear washed out, a metaphor for the unreality of the outside world and the people who inhabit it for a man trapped inside his head.
Brian Byrne's subtle score ranges from romantic to unsettling and production designer Eve Cauley Turner's bland institutional settings are spot on, especially the rendition of the doctor's impersonal, all-white, beachside apartment, which is as sterile as a laboratory primed for pathology.
Venue: Mill Valley Film Festival (Magnolia Pictures).
The bottom line: A risk-averse film about an out-of-bounds, not so good doctor with pernicious hidden talents.
Production companies: A Code Red Presentation of a King/Etheridge production in association with Viddywell Prods.; Fastnet Films.

Recent Gulf Coast reviews
"I've been coming done to Port Aransas for 20 years, and more specifically Clines landing. I love coming here because of the views, spacious rooms, and how centrally located it is. Each unit has great kitchens, wide living areas, and large balconys with beautiful views. It's not on a beach, but it's easy to drive there or even walk (3/4 mile). I stayed here to go fishing a couple days with my friends, and it was perfect."Guest: Fergy Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 28, 2014View listing
"We can't say enough about this wonderful house, its hospitable and attentive hosts, and the lovely town of Galveston! The house had everything we needed, including a terrific pool, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and even a 2nd floor porch off of our bedroom that captured the ocean breezes and sunsets perfectly. Our group had two little kiddos in tow, and we were right at home. (Loved the claw foot tub downstairs for their baths at night!) Over the years, we've used VRBO and similar sites to stay all over the country, and this is a property we'll definitely return to again. Highly recommended!!"Guest: Elizabeth P.

The hotel is a little rundown and does not reflect the images on the website. Its located on a blind corner and you can only walk to about 2/3 restaurants and shops. It's definitely not great location for a young family.
The bathroom was mouldy and the kitchenette didn't have stove, hot plate, grill, oven, microwave... we had to request...
We come at midnight and happy that they aware that we're coming. The room got big bed (from our perspective) as requested, and bigger than what I though it would be. The AC is very good, super cold.
The location a bit hidden, you need to walk up to 1,5km to get to the nearest coffee & bakery shop (it's...
在这间酒店预订了4晚订了2两房式公寓。酒店还是不错的房间也很干净,是说地点比较偏僻周围也没有什么好逛。幸好附近还有两家24小时的便利店还有一家按摩院不过营业到晚上10点吧了!每次回来酒店都迟了。最后一晚特地早点回来酒店去按摩一下松一松。this time is my second time to bali. Hotel is not bad room is clean and very friendly hotel stuff.
We just stayed for 5D4N a week ago and i feel the hotel needs maintenance, refurnishing and etc. Especially the bathroom, also need better choice of breakfast. I stayed at umalas 2 years ago and at that time i love it, now i dont think i will be back again.
We stayed here with two friends and booked a two bedroom deluxe room. One room was very nice with a large bed a TV, however the second room has a smaller bed and no television.
For the money, we thought this was a great hotel to stay at. Nothing spectacular, but a very accommodating and friendly staff and comfortable accommodation.
My friend and I stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks and both found it to be a good choice for us. We had a 2 bedroom apartment on the ground floor. The staff we're wonderful, always friendly, approachable and helpful. I didn't have problem at all with the lay out or the decore in the hotel and thought it...
Umalas is weathering a little bit, since the last time we stayed here, 2013, however everything is still functional, and the staff are still great.. Breakfast has a great choice of Asian/Western food. There are quite a few trainees working here, and sometimes their English is not the best. Would return again, the comments about the laundry over the road,...
Stayed 4d 3n with friends 4 person in 2 bedroom superior. Got room on 2nd floor with pool view.

SBD/8/Leagues Governing Bodies
Published December 8, 1994
The MLBPA Exec Board ended three days of meetings by approving the outlines of a plan to engage club owners and striking major leaguers in an economic partnership" (Chris Haft, CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 12/8). Union members left their meetings "with such confidence and enthusiasm, one might think they'd already purchased the ceremonial pens with which to sign the new agreement" (I.J. Rosenberg, ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 12/8). This weekend's talks between players and owners in Rye Brook, NY, will be the "final attempt" to reach a settlement before the owners declare an impasse and impose their salary cap (Ross Newhan, L.A. TIMES, 12/8). THE PLAYERS' PLAN: The plan is believed to tax clubs between 5-7% of their payrolls. It would also give players a say on major decisions such as hiring a commissioner and national TV contracts (I.J. Rosenberg, ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 12/8). The plan "does not include the one item owners have wanted most: a ceiling on cost controls, be it a straight cap or a high-rate tax plan" that includes a payroll ceiling. It does retain free agency and arbitration in their current forms, but also calls for "joint marketing and capital ventures" including elements of a suggestion by Orioles owner Peter Angelos, who has said some of the funds shared by the clubs go towards stadium construction in failing cities (Ross Newhan, L.A. TIMES, 12/8). In New York, Joel Sherman reports the players would put money from their $150M licensing fund to help with owners' financial problems. That money could be used to build stadiums, promote the game and create int'l markets (N.Y. POST, 12/8). THE SALARY SURVEY: According to USA TODAY's 10th annual salary survey, major leaguers lost nearly $230M during the 52 days of the baseball strike last season. Mets third baseman Bobby Bonilla was hit hardest, losing $1.706M. Only base salaries were used for the survey, conducted of 760 players on major league rosters as of August 31. The average loss per player was $300,000. Complete NL payrolls are listed in the paper today, while complete AL payrolls will appear tomorrow (Hal Bodley, USA TODAY, 12/8).

DO# Turn off your phone, or let people leave messages on your voicemail. Even when you're really, really busy, there's always the temptation to chat – and not complete the task that's stressing you out. Get through your work first, then you'll have time for a long, comfortable discussion later.# Start small: Identify what's stressing you out the most, and deal with matters one at a time, crossing them off your list (mental or written) as you go along. Even completing small tasks will make you feel like you've achieved something.# Be realistic. You're superwoman, right? Well, how else did you imagine you were going to get from one side of town to the other, choose a flower arrangement, placate your moaning mother-in-law or mother, and still have time to eat lunch with your fiance? You are a fantastic, capable woman. He knows that, and you know that. But you're also human. And there are only 24 hours in the day. Manage your time appropriately, and be prepared to ask for help if you need it.DON'T# Skip meals: In the short-term, being hungry (or thirsty) will only make you ratty. In the long-term, it could play havoc with your body's blood sugar levels, leading to erratic moods and lightheadedness.# Try to make everyone happy: Trying to accommodate everyone else at the expense of your own needs is a big no-no. Firstly, it's almost impossible to make all of the people happy all of the time, and, secondly, it usually means you're ignoring the things that make you happy. Learn how to say 'no', without feeling guilty.# Self-medicate: You wouldn't be the first person to respond to stress by smoking or drinking more... . Or even using drugs to help calm you down. They might make you feel better at the time, but relying on an outside substance to help you cope will not only make you less efficient – it could lead to long-term dependency.# Blame other people: Sure, the people around you contribute to your stress levels. But, ultimately, it's your own reactions to the people and situations you encounter that make you stressed. You need to take responsibility for this, and realise you are the only person who can change things. Got any other tips to add? Share them below.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ancien Regime,
Charles Vasey (London, England) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent summary of 150 years of history from which one may then proceed to suspend more focussed histories. Tim Blanning has elected to go all Fernand Braudel on us and although the book is about the pursuit of glory he insists on taking us through the supports upon which this aristocratic tradition lies or lay before getting to the icing. The base of all wealth - the peasant is therefore given his proper place in the first section of the book. There then follows a review of power in these societies and of the role of religion. I found the latter particularly effective. Finally, for those of you who enjoy court armour and periwigs we get to an excellent summary of what is in practice the rise and fall of France. Here by using a macro view one can see many trends that are less easy to grasp when dealing with an individual Louis.
One comes away aware of how easily it could have been different. If Vienna had fallen to the Turks, if the French had stayed out of the American War, and if Prussia had lost Silesia. The Ancien Regime can in less skilled hands seem a sterile period before the excesses of nationalism; here we see it differently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Took my breath away,
Didier (Ghent, Belgium) - See all my reviews
Before having read this book, I was largely ignorant about this period (1648 - 1815) in European history. Now, having read Tim Blanning's amazing book, I think that on the one hand I not only know a lot more but, on the other hand, remain conscious that I've barely scratched the surface (the suggested reading-list in itself covers some 11 pages, in small typescript) .
Contrary to what the title might seem to indicate, this book is about ever so much more than royalty and monarchs in the pursuit of glory. There's that too of course, but - as the titles to the four parts indicate - it's about life in all its aspects between 1648 and 1815:
- Part one: Life and death
- Part two: Power
- Part three: Religion and culture
- Part four: War and peace
In all, the book offers 677 pages (not counting the preface, suggested reading-list or index) densely packed with an amazing overview of virtually every major aspect of life in those days. This is no easy reading, but the rewards for making the effort to read this book with the attention and concentration it fully deserves are definitely worthwhile. What is also very refreshing is the fact that at times Blanning is not afraid to a) indicate that for some topics he can only give a short overview and b) freely admit that in some topics he's not a specialist.
Perhaps the best praise I can offer is that this book gave me an appetite to rush out to the bookstore and stock up on more to read about this fascinating period.

5.0 out of 5 stars historian's ambivalence...mostly,
Tiro (Stranded in Iowa) - See all my reviews
The existing reviews give a good sense for what this book covers and I would like to try to add a bit beyond what has been said. I am not a historian, just a general reader. (But the book was pitched to general readers, so I think I can have a say).
First, Mr. Blanning has clearly "been there, done that, and got the t-shirt to prove it" when it comes to his subject matter. He is the master of the choice example, which could only be achieved through extensive travel, terrific language skills, and years of thinking and teaching. He is positively interesting, and pulls the reader in. Would love to have dinner with this guy, my treat.
Second, like many great historians, Blanning is attracted to ambivalence. In the concluding chapter he is quite explicit: there are two narratives that can be maintained about this period, a progressive one and a pessimistic one. Actually, one would be very hard pressed to purely progressive or purely pessimistic - it's up to each person to mix the two according to taste and all sorts of mixes are plausible given the evidence. Maybe a more interesting way to put it is that this period of history is not one of pure progress by any means. Strikes me as realistic.
One of his favorite sources of ambivalence is whether "x" is a revolution or an evolution. As in industrial, commercial, communications, and so on. He seems to fall in the evolutionary camp but I found him hazy in his commitment - he strikes me as more "evolution with punctuated equilibrium." Again, realistic. Bottom-line: his ambivalences make him an interesting thinker.
In truth, I came close to giving him 4 stars, however, for several reasons. First: the material at the end of the book - the concluding chapter--would have been more helpful at the beginning of the book. Not a big deal. Second, he should have defined some limits to his subject matter. This becomes very apparent in Section 4: War and Peace. At several points he acknowledges that he is attempting summaries in a few pages that would normally take several volumes. Not a good idea. Section 4 is for the reader with a hardcore interest in war and a solid knowledge base - not me, and I was always feeling lost.
Finally, I wonder if he did the Church right. He is not a fiery anti-cleric, but he seems to have little ambivalence about religion and churches (as seen most directly in chapter 7), and so tends to lose his effectiveness. Is the story of religion during this period just one of accumulation of wealth, misuse of power, and so on? At one point he writes that perhaps most bishops were well-educated, pious, diligent and effective administrators (p. 370), but the outburst goes nowhere.
If Blanning has an Achille's heel, I think it is that on the issue of religion--which was such a central force in the lives of people in this period--he cannot really sustain any ambivalence. We learn how long it took people to walk places but nothing of their interior lives as Christian people or the centrality of the local parish to community life. I am reminded of the old peasant lady who houses a communist official in the Georgian film "Repentance." As the official eats one her cakes--shaped like a church--and brags about a road that will be built, she snarls "What good is a road if it does not lead to a church?" I suspect most of the people who are Mr. Blanning's subject matter would agree with that sentiment, but in this book we learn mostly about the road.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking. 6 stars.,
Basileus (UK / NL) - See all my reviews
"Pursuit of Glory" by Tim Blanning is an exciting grand tour of Europe between 1648 (the Treaty of Münster) and 1815 (the end of Napoleon). It provides a breathtaking overview of the period, describing vividly how Europe transformed itself to a modern society by analyzing the underlying economic, political, military, religious, scientific and cultural developments.
By structuring the chapters by topic rather than chronologically, layer upon layer of wonderful tapestry emerges. The result is a fascinating view of an era that is nowadays largely overlooked. Every page is packed with relevant information, great one-liners, relating quotes and providing good analysis. The pace and style is both appealing and lucid. Topics covered filled many a blind spot in my knowledge. The last chapter, where Blanning addresses the difficulties of interpreting the period is splendid and depending on your perspective, one can draw completely different conclusions about the direction Europe and the world were heading for now.
Rather than repeat what has already been written in some of the excellent reviews below I will simply say that I immensely enjoyed this masterwork from page one and that it ranks high in my top 10 favourite history books.

5.0 out of 5 stars verweile doch, du bist so schön,
S. Matthews "Sean Matthews" (Mainz, Germany) - See all my reviews
The period from the peace of Westphalia to the Congress of Vienna has the virtue for the high-end popular historian of being close enough in time and culture to be relevant, while also being distant enough to be contemplated more or less for pleasure. It also has the further advantage, for the commercially ambitious author, that the personal was very much the political - vast impersonal historical forces can't even begin to account for the likes of Catherine the Great, Louis XIV, or Frederick the Great.
The somewhat austere Prof. T.C.W. Blanning has revised himself as just plain Tim (registering this little bit of image modification, I could not help thinking of the Tim the Sorcerer character from Monty Python's Holy Grail - sorry) to write this. And this is a very much a Tim, rather than a Prof. T.C.W. sort of book: it manages to be relaxed, entertaining and learned, and to cover a lot of ground without losing - or at least any more than necessary - focus. And yes, the first chapter, on travel and communications, is as good as everyone says it is.
I do wonder if Tim is aiming just a smidgen higher than he should have. Casual jokes about cultural theory which contrast Hegelian aircraft carriers with positivist fishing fleets are very funny for a small audience (more Clarendon than Allen-Lane sized, I would have thought), but maybe a bit exclusionary - I wonder what people outside that audience think. Similarly, I was outrageously flattered at the large intersection between my library and his (said intersection being documented mostly as casual, and un-bibed, allusions in the text). Again, I'm not sure what the larger audience might make of this.
Anyway, an excellent, entertaining book, and I definitely agree with another reviewer who thought that Tim Blanning must be great at a dinner party (and also, maybe more importantly, as a thesis supervisor). In fact, given that he appears to have written his dissertation on Mainz, if he ever is back in town, and drops me a line, I would be delighted to offer a glass of riesling.

4.0 out of 5 stars I now know a lot more things, but not necessarily in the logical order,
This was a really well written and entertaining book. However, the author presupposes a lot of prior knowledge which I sadly lacked, making some of the material a bit challenging - probably not the best choice of read for the inexperienced but I have learned a great deal from reading it. There is a good chance that I'll do so again.
I was a bit disappointed by the balance of the content. I felt there is a disproportionate ammount of text devoted to the social history of the period and too little on the meaty political and military events, e.g the wars of the French revolution. I also thought that given that the book does not flow in strict chronological order then it would have really benefited from the inclusion of a simple summary chapter or timeline - something I think newbies to this period of European history would find very useful. That said, I still highly recommend it to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Europe 1648-1815,
S Wood (Scotland) - See all my reviews
Tim Blanning may not be personally in pursuit of glory, but judging by the back page blurb he has achieved a good deal of it. The man at the Sunday Telegraph read it with his "jaw permanently dropped in admiration" - at the Sunday Times it was "let the nations rejoice . . . a truly glorious book" - "Sparkling" intoned the Guardian. Appetite whetted with all this praise I plunged into the book. Alas, between the hype and reality there is a gulf.
"The Pursuit of Glory" starts off reasonably well. Part one covers what might be labelled the Socio-Economic sphere, though without enough discussion of the economic side of it for my taste. The section that contemplates whether an industrial revolution happened in Britain or not, never seemed to get its teeth into the subject, and I felt that Blannings judgement was pre-ordained; he doesn't seem a great fan of revolutions, whether they're Industrial, English (1640's and 50's) or French (1790's).
The second part "Power" is a tolerable discussion of "Rulers and their Elites" and "Reform and Revolution" especially if you are up to coping with a regular bombardment of names from the various Royals and their noble (or otherwise) flunkies. This brings us to the third part, "Religion and Culture" and I presume this is where the claim that the book is "provocative" is rooted. I certainly felt seriously provoked while reading a thirty-page chapter on hunting including statistics of the kills of various notables of the era. The book ends with a hundred and fifty pages of warfare.
One thing that I found surprising is that Blanning only incidentally mentions Europes over-seas Empires. Why on earth have thirty-pages on hunting (followed by forty-pages on elite architecture) and not deal with the Imperial issue in anything like a systematic manner? Given that this is a crucial factor in the period's history at the European and Global level, this has to be marked down as a serious omission. Another source of irritation was the register Blanning writes in: essentially conservative, complacent and well pleased with itself.
"The Pursuit of Power" is a book that left me under whelmed and without any feeling that I had gained any great knowledge or insight into the age. Not the nicest of feelings after slogging through 677 pages in search of an understanding of European history during an important era. Not one that I'd recommend.

It took me a while to get through this book but i enjoyed it all the way through. i don't there is another book out there that will give you a more complete picture of early modern europe. this book also stands well apart from others by going into far more detail then others might be. it doesn't follow they usual lines of just talking about kings and warfare but gos into every little detail on the lives of people all through 1648 to 1815. the improvement in communications by better roads, the new postal system, religion, the enlightenment, the industrial revolution, the mindset of people and basically a whole look at a changing society that left the medieval world and entered the modern era. an utterly fascinating book filled with so much information that there is never a dull moment. my favorite part by far being the chapter on the enlightenment as it was enthralling to read as old superstitions and ignorance gave way to reason and logic, witches no longer burned but there accusers now finding themselves in the locks, an explosion in the amount of books being published and the amount of common people now reading and great writers, composers and painters now becoming public figures who are adored by there people. this was truly an age of change.
4.0 out of 5 stars European Politics,
An excellent introduction to the period.

5.0 out of 5 stars history as it should be,
Jesper Schnipper (Denmark) - See all my reviews
this is a book with a sweeping subject both geographically and timevise,
but it manages to give the reader a remarkably detailed sense of its subject while being both an easy read and interesting.
for everybody but an expert this will greatly enhance your understanding of how it all fits together.
And how geography, culture, technology and history interacted in this time and place to lay the foundation of the modern world
