A Masterful Geographical and Historical Work 5 out of 5 stars.

In researching sources for information on Malta for a forthcoming excursion after the Universala Kongreso de Esperanto next year, I came across Tom Eccardt's "Secrets of the Seven Smallest States of Europe." I not only found everything I needed to know about Malta, but was fascinated by his treatment of the other six small states. This is an excellently researched work, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in geography or history.

Editorial Review:

This unique book examines the history, culture and inner workings of the seven smallest independent countries in Europe. These are among the oldest lands in Europe, despite their diversity, they have much in common. Most have relatively high per capita incomes and life expectancies, and relatively low unemployment. This narrative first presents the many unique issues that confront small countries, including maintaining their independence, economic viability, native languages, and forms of government. 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 histories contain cultural information on subjects including the arts, gastronomy and popular tourist sites.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It is a good combination of historical background, short artist bio's and photographs. The book gives you a good feel for the design and style of the glass produced between the 1930's and 1970's. Beautiful color plates of the individual pieces.

The Liechtenstein Collections 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The Director of the Liechtenstein Collections has given a succinct history of the family and collections. Beautifully illustrated with many of the great masterpieces from this Princely collection. As art books go it sells at a modest price as well.

Editorial Review:

With the opening of the Liechtenstein Museum in Vienna, an incomparable private collection of artworks from six centuries returns to its original home. Masterful paintings, sculptures, and furniture are displayed in the Liechtenstein Palace, famous for its Baroque architecture and sumptuous gardens. A visit to the museum is a journey through time from the Baroque to the Biedcrmeier eras.

Editorial Review:

Liechtenstein--an Alpine curiosity? A haven for financial criminals? Or a success story in modern Europe? This book examines the reality behind the clichés. Liechtenstein's history has been dramatic and precarious. Several times it was in danger of vanishing from the map, most recently in 1939 when local Nazis tried to seize power and swallow the Principality into the Third Reich. Liechtenstein has a tiny population, no natural resources and the image of a less-than-serious fairy-tale kingdom with dubious banking laws which have often proved the bane of international tax authorities. But since the 1940s Liechtenstein has actually transformed itself into one of the most advanced hi-technology countries in Europe. This fascinating book charts the story of one of the world's most unlikely countries, revealing a strategy which its rulers and elite have used through the centuries to ensure its survival.
