Tate Paulette. In the Land of Ninkasi: A History of Beer in Ancient Mesopotamia
Introducing Mesopotamia as “the world’s first great beer culture” (p. xiv) is a massive undertaking requiring facility in several areas of specialization. Information derived from archaeological sites, cylinder seals, cuneiform tablets, organic residue, and vessels and utensils spanning thousands of years need to be synthesized. Tate Paulette’s book, In the Land of Ninkasi, does just that, but in a colloquial register full of anecdotes and wry, e…
Napoleon’s Empire: European Politics in Global Perspective
Not very long ago commentators on the historiography were celebrating the fact that the Napoleonic empire was at last being approached from a European rather than Francocentric perspective. How much, under the influence of the Atlantic turn and growing interest in global history, the frame of reference has widened since is evident from the volume here under review: Napoleon’s Empire: European Politics in Global Perspective, which developed out of…

The First European Elections? Voting and Imperial State-Building Under Napoleon, 1802–1813
This article establishes the significance of elections held in the annexed departments of the Napoleonic Empire from 1802 to 1813. It thus represents an original, and perhaps surprising, contribution to recent debate on the nature of Napoleonic imperialism, in which attention has shifted from core to periphery, and away from purely military matters. The electoral process under this authoritarian regime has been alternately neglected or derided, e…
Toward an understanding of non-dual mindfulness
The aim of this article is to explore an approach to ‘mindfulness’ that lies outside of the usual Buddhist mainstream. This approach adopts a ‘non-dual’ stance to meditation practice, and based on my limited experience and training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, this non-dual notion of ‘mindfulness’ seems an especially appropriate point of comparison between Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Buddhism. That comparison itself will not …

Napoleon's 'mayoral problem: Aspects of state‐community relations in post-revolutionary France
Overawed by the image of Napoleon's juggernaut state, historians have tended to gloss over a potentially critical weakness in its armoury. For its linkage with rural society it depended largely on 40,000 unpaid mayors, many of whom, according to both contemporaries and historians, were simply not up to the job. In an effort to gain a fresh perspective on the Napoleonic state, this article examines the problem of mayoral personnel in the countrysi…

The politics of institutional reform in Ireland: Lessons of the 1982–87 government
This article considers the experience of recent attempts to reform the Irish public service. It explores the concept of professionalism in public administration and shows that the issue of institutional reform has traditionally been regarded as a technical or managerial rather than a political one in Ireland. It argues that the attempts of the 1982–87 government at institutional reform, whilst sincere, continued this pattern and as such were doom…
Sense of community in l'Arche and in the writings of Jean Vanier
Intentional communities are an extreme effort to create a sense of community and thus highlight the conditions necessary to realize such an aspiration. This article describes l'Arche communities and examines the writings of their founder, Jean Vanier, in an effort to determine what sense of community is as lived at l'Arche. It is suggested that the creation of a sense of community in the larger society demands conditions similar to those at l'Arc…
