Unlike other leadership books, How to Choose a Leader makes a shift of perspective, giving the point of view of the leader to the people. This is in itself interesting, since we rarely come across such an attempt to “teach” citizens so systematically.

This essay aims to survey certain key aspects of philhellenism underpinned by the recent and past bibliography on the issue. By exploring the definitions of the related terms, their origins and their various meanings, the paper underscores the notion of “revival” as a central working concept of philhellenic ideas and activities and explores its transformations, acceptances or rejections in Western Europe and in Greece during the period from 1770 to 1870.

The question of cultural relations between the Byzantine East and the Latin West, although not unexplored, is still an open one. Therefore, this book, a collective volume of six studies on various aspects of cultural and artistic interaction between Byzantine and Western European societies from the late twelfth to the late fifteenth century, is welcome.

The engineers who studied in Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and who returned to Greece to work have been seen as bearers of scientific knowledge and the modernising effort. Actually, they were active historical agents contributing with their multiple scientific activities to the process of appropriation of science and technology and industrial modernisation in the specific historical environment. This article aims, through the study of a particular professional group of engineers, the mining engineers, to demonstrate the interaction between scientific and technical professional activities and participation in political and social affairs. For these mining engineers, the technical efficiency and economic growth that industrialisation would bring could not be dissociated from social order and a hierarchical form of social organisation. At the same time, the formation of their professional group, as well as the social organisation that they envisioned, were rooted in gendered and class relations of power.

The title of this volume refers to the course of the Open University entitled Renaissance Art Reconsidered and more particularly to its three course books, which reflect three reference fields in the modern history of art: the method and arduous work of making works of art; the centres of art production, the trade networks and the relations between artists and clients; and the means of viewing art, whether in the context of religious practice, theory or patronage, during the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.

The first half of the twentieth century in Greece was marked by consecutive military and civil conflicts that caused profound territorial, demographic and social changes. The movement of vast numbers of young peasants from rural areas to the capital coincided with the broadening of internal trade, a proliferation of industrial investments and the intense urbanization of Athens and other Greek cities, especially during the interwar period. This article examines education concerning the “art of commerce”, a more flexible type of training in comparison with its strictly technical equivalent; a form of education that was associated with a completely different outlook compared to the traditional apprenticeship guilds of the nineteenth century. In this context, the essay seeks to emphasize the ways in which a professional group, recognized by the state through its own associations, was specifically created and developed and how this group envisaged creating the sole educational opportunity for its own members, those working in the field of retail.

Pendant l’entre-deux-guerres, certaines revues litteraires grecques adoptent une attitude hellenocentriste, tandis que d’autres s’ouvrent au contraire largement a l’etranger. Cette ouverture se manifeste bien sur par la publication d’oeuvres en traduction, mais aussi par un interet grandissant pour les revues etrangeres, et en particulier francaises, qui se marque par l’emprunt d’articles et surtout par la creation de rubriques specialisees. Le but de ce travail est de mettre en lumiere l’existence de relations privilegiees entre revues grecques et revues francaises comme vecteurs de transferts culturels –qu’il s’agisse de la reprise de modeles editoriaux ou de la circulation de textes, d’idees ou meme de collaborateurs–, d’evaluer la part que la traduction prend dans l’etablissement de ces relations et enfin de determiner si on peut ou non parler dans ces cas de “reseau de revues”, comme cela a ete fait dans d’autres contextes europeens.

Abstract: How were maps conceived in the Middle Ages? Using the words “map”, “travel” and “exploration”, historians must be wary of anachronism. Medieval maps, like ours maps, are always materialized thought-objects and are thus interpretations of the world, inevitably variable and subject to criticism; in this respect, “modernity” has neither invented nor changed anything. The article addresses some anachronisms about the role of mappae mundi in mental journeys, their function in maritime travels and their role during the great “discoveries”; it claims that no other pre-modern civilization, except perhaps the Chinese, was ever so imbued with cartographic culture.
