Representing new approaches to the study of the family and historical demography, this collection of essays analyzes the relationships of demographic processes in different population groups to household structure and family organization, and their implications for family behavior. Emphasizing dynamic rather than structural factors, the essays thus move beyond earlier studies of family history. Essays by the editors, Richard Easterlin, George Alter, Gretchen Condran, and Stanley Engerman focus on patterns of fertility in relation to urban and industrial development, economic opportunity and the availability of land, and race and ethnic origin. The remaining essays, by Laurence Glasco, Howard Chudacoff, and John Modell, deal with family organization over time as affected by such factors as the practice of boarding, the role of kin, family budgeting strategy, and migration. The authors not only challenge the prevailing assumption that rapid urbanization is responsible for the decline in the fertility rate; they also contend that, contrary to the prevailing theories of social change, the emergence of nuclear households was not a consequence of industrialization.Originally published in 1978.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

The 19th century Georgian print media present unique, so far unexamined materials and may be of remarkable interest for researchers thanks to the following: a.Georgian print journalism originated shortly after the European; b. It was distinguished by broad coverage, readability and relevance of issues covered; c. It provides interesting evidence for the history of journalism as well as for world history; d. It cites reputed foreign periodicals, thereby reflecting the perspectives of its contemporary international print media. This paper aims to reveal how and to what extent the 19th century Greece was reflected in the Georgian print media. The question deserves close attention as even against the marvelous millennial history, 19th century Greek political life attracts attention by its dynamic character: The Greek uprising and the liberation from a four hundred year yoke, the accompanying struggle for territories and the related processes, attempts to address problems, formation of a new national discourse, national self-identification and so on. It is interesting to find out how print media in Russian Tsarism-dominated Georgia responded to it, to what extent the Georgian reader was informed about the events unfolding on the territory of its historical partner and how the Georgian population evaluated these events, whether Georgian journalists were biased or objective and how they obtained material. No less important is to scrutinize the 19th century coverage of events from modern journalistic and historical perspectives.

This article analyses 19th-century publications which dealt with the social and cultural aspects of psychiatric disorders in different parts of the world. Systematic reviews were conducted of three German medical journals, one Russian medical journal, and a relevant monograph. All these archives were published in the 19th century. Our work highlights the fact that long before Kraepelin, several, mostly forgotten, publications had already discussed cultural aspects, social conditions, the influence of religion, the influence of climate, and also "race" as a trigger or amplifier of psychiatric diseases. These publications also reflect racist notions of the colonial period.

In this article I will attempt to present how some western historianswho deal with the Balkan past perceived Macedonia as it wasduring the last century of the Ottoman rule. The focus of this paper willbe on how 19th century Ottoman Macedonia is represented in the generalhistory books on the Balkans written in the west. In writing this paperI made use of those works that have been, up to now, most widelyused by the historians, as well as the ordinary people, who like and appreciatehistorical literature. The main accent in this article is stressedon several issues namely - the territory, the population, political history,economical and social life. In this instance I made use of booksdealing with the history of the Balkans published after WWII, i.e., afterthe creation of the modern Macedonian state. One should bear in mindthat Macedonia was not authors primary focus of research and writing,and for this reason the mistakes that appear, and which we all makewhen we write, are understandable, but not acceptable. We must notethat, despite all the criticism that might be directed at them, they havemade an honest attempt, to their best of their knowledge and ability, toportray the situation in Ottoman Macedonia in the 19th century, payingattention not to favor any one side.Key words: OTTOMAN MACEDONIA, TERRITORY, MRO,POPULATION, HISTORY

No century in modern European history has built monuments with more enthusiasm than the 19th. Of the hundreds of monuments erected, those which sprang from a nation-wide initiative and addressed themselves to a nation, rather than part of a nation, we may call national monuments. Nelson's Column in London or the Arc de Triomphe in Paris are obvious examples. In Germany the 19th century witnessed a veritable flood of monuments, many of which rank as national monuments. These reflected and contributed to a developing sense of national identity and the search for national unity; they also documen
