	How the Irish Saved Civilization : The Untold Story of Ireland's Heroic Role @ CenturyOne Bookstore
		The untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe.
		In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved front the classical age of Rome to the medieval era.
		Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars" — and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians.

		story of the Fort based offshore radio stations, Radio’s Sutch, City, Tower, Invicta, KING, 390, Essex, BBMS and the story of Sealand.
		This is the story of the offshore stations based on former wartime defence forts in the British Thames estuary.
		These radio stations were not in fact "pirates", nor were they illegal, they simply broadcast from ships and marine structures outside of their target countries territorial borders.

	Generation Exodus
		That is the story of Generation Exodus, a story never told before but a story that finally fills a gap in the history of the Jewish people.
		German Jews were insulted in synagogues and ridiculed in recreational settings because of their accents, their mannerisms and their poverty.
		German Jews could not sit on a park bench unless they were willing to sit on a few yellow benches reserved for them.

	European eel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The life history of the eels is one of the most fascinating stories in oceanography, still enigmatic: Eel story.
		Since the 1970s the numbers of eels reaching Europe is thought to have declined by around 90% (possibly even 98%).
		They are generally believed to spawn in the Sargasso Sea and the larvae (Leptocephalus) migrate towards Europe in a three-year-long migration.

	Ummera Smoked Silver Eel
		The Eels spend some eight years feeding in the rich rivers and loughs of Europe.
		After three years adrift, the lava changes to an elver and is then able to swim along the currents, washed to the rivers and lakes of Europe by the Gulf Stream.
		When they reach maturity, the eels congregate on the bottom of their river and forming a writhing ball, they change from being brown river eels to silvery black eels, ready to re-enter the environment of their youth.

	Those In Italy Greet You
		Writer Frank Bruni says Europe "seems more and more like a series of tourist-trod monuments to Christianity's past." For example, in France only one in 20 people bothers to go to church anymore; in the U.S., that ratio is one in three.
		Bruni notes other indications of the diminishing influence of Christianity in Europe, such as the removal of crosses from the walls of public schools throughout Western Europe -- and the fact that many congregations have been forced to either shut down or combine operations, or make do with part-time or imported pastors.
		In writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy suggested that it might be time for the U.S. to start adopting a more European view of what constitutes right and wrong.

	greg.org: Behind the scenes with The Road to Europe director, Christoffer Guldbrandsen: a greg.org exclusive
		Hearing a story on the wide-ranging political turmoil which followed The Road to Europe, a documentary on the Danish prime minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, I wanted to know more; but the reports I found still left me unsatisfied.
		To get the still-untold story of how The Road to Europe was made, I contacted the film's 32-year old director, Christoffer Guldbrandsen, at DK, the Danish public broadcaster.
		Deutsche-Welle, The Economist, even NPR's On the Media, referred to the documentary as "reality TV," a term which belittles both the film's message and impact and which ignores the history and context of "fly-on-the-wall" filmmaking.

	Middle East Side Story
		It would be the Middle East equivalent of what happened in Eastern Europe when the Soviet Union finally sank to its knees, took one last breath and crumbled.
		The song I have in mind is his "Something's Coming" from "West Side Story," which, with Stephen Sondheim's lyrics conveying a sense of anxious anticipation--"Could it be?
		This is emphatically not Eastern Europe, where in some cases democracies were restored, not created out of whole cloth, and where draconian population shifts had largely eliminated the region's version of tribalism.

	Encyclopædia Britannica's Guide to Normandy 1944
		Encyclopædia Britannica tells the story of the Normandy Invasion through the spoken recollections of veterans who fought it, the newsreels that brought the news home, and the written words of historians who have dedicated years to studying the great campaign.
		On June 6, 1944, a date known ever since as D-Day, a mighty armada crossed a narrow strip of sea from England to Normandy, France, and cracked the Nazi grip on western Europe.

	EXODUS TO BERLIN - Print Version
		EXODUS TO BERLIN is not only a powerful story of hope and struggle for people fleeing persecution today, it is also a tale of transformation of the soul of a city whose very name is synonymous with mass murder and guilt, but is now being born again in the light of public and private compassion.
		Exodus to Berlin tells the story of these new Berliners, those who help them and those who hate them.
		EXODUS TO BERLIN --researched, reported, produced, directed and photographed by two award winning American broadcasters and authors--is an uncompromising investigative documentary examination of the people involved in Berlin's new role as provider of sanctuary to the Jewish people.

	Short story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Short stories have their origins in the prose anecdote, a swiftly-sketched situation that comes rapidly to its point, with parallels in oral story-telling traditions.
		The short story has also come to embrace forms of non-fiction such as travel writing, prose poetry and postmodern variants of fiction and non-fiction such as ficto-criticism or new journalism.
		Both of these books are composed of individual short stories (which range from farce or humorous anecdotes to well-crafted literary fictions) set within a larger narrative story (a frame story), although the frame tale device was not adopted by all writers.

		Boston.com / News / Science / Europe's eel population collapsing
		Eel live in fresh water for 15 to 20 years, then, turning from yellowish green to silver, swim far out into the Atlantic Ocean and are believed to spawn somewhere in the vast kelp bed of the Sargasso Sea.
		As glass eel dwindle, their price has tripled to $325 per pound in the past three years, inspiring aggressive poachers like the one who robbed Dekker a year ago of the batch he had caught for research.

	Prehistoric Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In any case, the date of 1800/1700 BCE can be considered typical for the start of this stage in Europe in general, although some scholars claim earlier dates for the introduction of bronze (this may be caused by the slim barrier between copper and bronze, an alloy of the former).
		With the Magdalenian culture, Paleolithic development in Europe reaches its peak and this is reflected in the amazing art, owing to the previous traditions: basically paintings in the West and sculpture in Central Europe.
		The dates are general for the whole of Europe, and the Aegean area is already fully in the Bronze Age.

	SIMON PHILO, "GETTING DUMBER AND DUMBER:MTV'S GLOBAL FOOTPRINT
		MTV Europe's project mirrors the "Rock the Vote" campaign by its sister company in America during the 1992 presidential elections, which played a key part in mobilising much of the youth vote in favour of Bill Clinton ("Delors to go on MTV", 1994: 2).
		Responding in some might say true hegemonic fashion, MTV Europe in the 90s has shown itself to be decidedly more conscious of difference, fearful of losing its audience share and with it advertising revenues to a number of new music video stations that have sprung up across the continent.
		To add insult to injury, the big broadcasting success story in India has been a Hindi language channel called Zee TV, which is beamed earthwards from the same satellite as Murdoch's Star TV and had by 1995 captured an impressive 11% audience share to Star's paltry 2%.

	Les Sylphides
		Marie Taglioni's ethereal performance as the Sylphide catapulted her to stardom throughout Europe and helped launch the Romantic era in all the arts, with its undercurrent of yearning for the unattainable and its fascination with otherworldly themes and rarefied emotions.
		Sometimes confused with Les Sylphides, but actually a completely different ballet, is La Sylphide, an 1832 story ballet originally choreographed by Philippe Taglioni and first presented at the Theater of the Royal Academy of Music in Paris.
		Fokine deliberately set out to evoke the poetry and artistry of the great ballets of the Romantic era - possibly as a rebuke to his choreographic contemporaries, many of whom were churning out emotionally empty ballets that served mostly as showcases for flashy feats of technique.

	The Observer Comment Will Hutton: How Osama won Europe the space race
		While Europe was making these epic advances last week in space, the EU story which the Eurosceptic British media chose to report concerned regulations over the size of leeks.
		That Europe is the only force in the world that can supply disinterestedly what the US can no longer be relied to do thus went ignored.
		The US would like to kill Galileo, but with Europe having its own rocket launching facilities in French Guyana, its own Ariane rocket and positioning technology more advanced than America's (European atomic clocks in the Galileo system can position to within 45 centimetres compared to GPS's 100 metres), the EU has sovereignty over its choices.

		Under Loft Story's rules, five women and six men, all in their 20s and telegenic, have agreed to live in the loft for 10 weeks, filmed round-the-clock by 26 cameras — even in the shower.
		For Loft Story, an average 5.2 million viewers — 80% between ages 15 and 25 — watch the daily 20-minute segment on an average evening, according to the network ratings system.

	Gameplanet - Reviews - Vagrant Story
		Though the game oozes the polish expected from a Japanese-made title, Vagrant Story is actually set in medieval Europe.
		Their latest offering, Vagrant Story, is so different from their previous efforts, and yet in many ways is the work of pure genius.
		The NPCs in Vagrant Story do not play second fiddle to Riot, as each are just as important in the story line as the main character himself.

	Welcome to Carolina Ballet, Robert Weiss, Artistic Director
		The story of bride-to-be Swanhilda and her conceited intended Franz, though set in central Europe two centuries ago, has contemporary appeal in its depiction of lovers' spats and jealousies.
		"Coppelia" employs all the usual elements of the full-length story ballet.
		Franz's attraction to the life-size mechanical doll Coppelia and Swanhilda's subsequent trick in pretending to be the object of his new affection are the stuff of fairy tales, yet the timeless vagaries of young love are easily recognized.

	The Third Great Race War: The Moors Invade Europe
		The story of this seven hundred year long race war is without doubt one of the most arduous ever fought by the Whites in defense of their continent.
		This mixing process in Spain was, as in Greece and Rome, not as complete as in the regions of North Africa or the Middle East, and large numbers of Whites remained intact on the European side of the Mediterranean.
		Ten years later, in 732, they launched what was to be their final bid to overcome all of Western Europe when a massive army under the command of the Moorish governor of Spain, Abd arRahman, began laying waste to large parts of Frankish and Gothic France.
