When Greece's economic troubles began to threaten the stability of the European Union in 2010, the nation found itself in the center of a whirlwind of international finger-pointing. In the years prior, Greece appeared to be politically secure and economically healthy. Upon its emergence in the center of the European economic maelstrom, however, observers and critics cited a century of economic hurdles, dictatorships, revolutions, and more reasons as to why their current crisis was understandable, if not predictable. The ancient birthplace of democracy and countless artistic, literary, philosophical, and scientific developments had struggled to catch-up to its economically-thriving neighbors in Western Europe for years and quickly became the most seriously economically-troubled European country following a fiscal nosedive beginning in 2008. When the deficit and unemployment skyrocketed, the resulting austerity measures triggered widespread social unrest.

The entire world turned its focus toward the troubled nation, waiting for the possibility of a Greek exit from the European Monetary Union and its potential to unravel the entire Union, with other weaker members heading for the exit as well. The effects of Greece's crisis are also tied up in the global arguments about austerity, with many viewing it as necessary medicine, and still others seeing austerity as an intellectually bankrupt approach to fiscal policy that only further damages weak economies.

In Modern Greece: What Everyone Needs to Know(R), Stathis Kalyvas, an eminent scholar of conflict, Europe, and Greece combines the most up-to-date economic and political-science findings on the current Greek crisis with a discussion of Greece's history. Tracing the nation's development from the early nineteenth century to the present, the informative question-and answer format covers key episodes including the independence movement of the early nineteenth century, the massive ethnic cleansing in Turkey and Greece following World War I, the German occupation in World War II, the following brutal civil war, the conflict with Turkey over Cyprus, the military coup of 1967, democracy at long last, and the country's entry into the European Union.

Written by one of the most brilliant political scientists in the academy, Modern Greece is the go-to resource for understanding both the current crisis and the historical events that brought the country to where it is today.

Great
Bought the 2 pack for myself and my daughter. Haven't heard back from my daughter, but I like the way it makes my skin feel plus the smell is great. I also like that it's homemade and all natural plus will help with psoriasis &/or eczema which my daughter has currently. I would recommend other to try and if I run out, I would buy more again.

Definitely works!
I noticed I was having weird rough patches on my back and thighs but didn't know what they were. So with my next appt to the dermatologist, I found out it was eczema. Ugh. So I started looking at creams and such and stumbled on this bar soap. It works really well. When I shower, I work it into the problem areas and let it sit there with the shower head turned away so it doesn't wash off, and then wash my face, etc. When I'm finished with everything, I wash everything off, after the soap has been on my skin for several minutes. I've noticed a substantial decrease in the bumpy areas on my back and legs. I loooove this soap, and yes, definitely recommend it for people dealing with eczema. But definitely use an exzema skin cream too if you are itching. I wasnt, but started to as well because it also helps to keep the outbreak under control as well.
