David W. Ellwood's Books

With the end of the Cold War and the prospect of a federal Europe ever closer, this book is a timely reassessment of the processes by which western Europe was reborn out of the devastation and despair of 1945. Concentrating on the first postwar decade and making rich use of the latest research findings, David Ellwood gives a detailed account of the practicalities of reconstruction - how it was done, what it cost, who paid for it, and what those involved hoped for, expected and actually received.

From the 1930s to the 50s in Italy commercial cultural products were transformed by new reproductive technologies and ways of marketing and distribution, and the appetite for radio, films, music and magazines boomed. This book uses new evidence to explore possible continuities between the uses of mass culture before and after World War II.

An ambitious, original book describing a century of Europe coping with America: its inventions, personalities, films, armies, business, and politics. These decades reveal how much emotional energy Europeans invested in finding their own ways to reconcile tradition and modernity under the pressure of the ever-evolving American challenge.

Politics and Government in California is a comprehensive account of the organization and function of California state and local governments. Focusing on how state and local governments can most effectively address the challenges facing California today, the Sixteenth Edition is thoroughly updated to include the most recent data and events.

Published in conjunction with a New-York Historical Society exhibition, this photo-filled, pocket-size guidebook by a New York Times senior writer covers 1,079 houses of worship in New York City.
