The essays in this volume present the view that such collective actions as riots, protests, strikes and rebellions are coherent, if often unsuccessful attempts by working class people to defend or advance well-defined interests. Using as examples a series of case studies from 18th, 19th and 20th century Europe, the contributors present a new perspective on worker reactions to the strategies of the elite. '...the book and its argument are interesting, and the explicitness with which all the authors set up and investigate their hypotheses makes this an excellent collection for use on historical methods courses.' -- Urban History Yearbook 1983

This book contextualizes the use of terror as part of wider movements of political contention, demonstrating that terroristic innovation occurs as part of wider historical processes rather than in a vacuum. Drawing on evolutionary theory, this study explains how terroristic groups innovate upon, transform, and abandon techniques of political violence in order to advance their causes against the state. The book further traces the processes through which the use of aircraft as weapons of destruction developed, from the first instances of aircraft hijacking in 1930s Peru, through Palestinian terrorism in the 1960s and 1970s, up to its adoption by al-Qaeda in the 1990s and leading to the 9/11 attack in 2001. This examination provides an essential focus on the techniques through which terror is achieved, offering a novel understanding of the mechanisms of political violence and the implications of counterterrorism on the evolution of terrorism

Paths to the City presents a study of migration from rural areas to the industrializing city of Nimes in the 19th century. With unusual technical skill, Moch is able to reconstruct the lives of migrants in their villages and in the cities. She is able to separate them into separate streams of migrations; trace the work, marriage, and child-bearing patterns of migrants back to their rural roots; and compare migrants with people who did not move. She is also able to augment the demographic patterns she outlines with portraits of what happened to real individual people.
