THE HAPSBURGS PART 2: CROSS AND CRESCENT (VHS) 1998. 53 min. sd. color. #63800 Under Charles V, the Hapsburgs reached their zenith. However, the religious and military forces set in motion during the latter part of the 16th century changed Europe - and the Hapsburg empire - forever. The Reformation, assisted by the printing press, dissolved Catholic hegemony in Europe and led to pan-European warfare employing large numbers of mercenaries. This program examines the political, religious, and class conflicts that precipitated the Thirty Years' War and the resultant flux in Hapsburg fortunes through contemporary accounts and histories. The advance of the Ottoman army to the very gates of Vienna during the Austro-Turkish War and their ensuing defeat also presents the external threats that led to the establishment of modern Europe's boundaries.

Her father's death in 1740 without a male heir led to the dynastic conflict between the Hapsburgs and Hollenzollerns. Although Frederick the Great was the very embodiment of the Enlightenment - advised by Voltaire, establisher of public education, and grantor of equality to all citizens before the law - he refused to recognize Maria Theresa as ruler. Even though she retained her grip on the throne, it took the Seven Years' War to firmly and finally establish Maria Theresa's benevolent rule, which lasted for 40 years. She was succeeded by her son, Joseph II.

In examining the revolution of 1848, the program shows the resulting policy of security over liberty and preservation rather than renewal. The nation that emerged from this period remained the keystone of an empire - until the assassination in 1914 of the last Hapsburg heir triggered a world war. reserve this book

They narrowly survive one of history's greatest cataclysms, and then, for the first time they begin to experiment with raft building which brings extraordinary consequences. Within a relatively brief time - 20,000 years - modern humans spread out across the island continent of Australia. But if the journey began in Africa 200,000-300,000 years ago, why did it take so long for evidence of human culture to appear?

THE HUMANE SPECIES: LESSONS FROM AFRICA (VHS) 2001. ca 60 min. sd. color. #64020 Dr. Bruce Roberts, MSUM Anthropology professor, presented this lecture on Thursday, March 22, 2001. For many Americans, the word Africa conjures images of widespread starvation, recurring drought, endless civil war, and the AIDS epidemic. While such circumstances occur, nonetheless they constitute nearly the entirety of what the western media cares to address concerning the African continent. In the process, the everyday lives of most Africans are disregarded and their voices remain muted. In an attempt to partially compensate for overly negative public conceptions of Africa, this lecture seeks to advance an alternative perspective, one based upon countless Africans, some well-known, others not so celebrated. In carrying out their pursuits these individuals labor against monumental odds, often facing great risks. It is in these courageous acts of charity, goodwill, and forgiveness that Africa holds multiple lessons in humanity for all members of our species.
