Historical Dictionary of Switzerland Hardback
by Leo Schelbert
Part of the Historical Dictionaries of Europe series
Hardback
Description
Switzerland's exceptional scenic beauty of valleys, lakes, and mountains, its central location on international trade routes, and its world famous banking system are just a few elements that have contributed to its rise in the global market.
It consists of twenty-six member states, called cantons and it's actively engaged in the maintenance of peace among nations.
The history of the Swiss Confederation is as rich and varied as its culture and people. This updated second edition of Historical Dictionary of Switzerland features the nation's multicultural and democratic traditions and institutions, its complex history, and its people's involvement in past and present world affairs.
This is done through a list of abbreviations and acronyms, a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, maps, a bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions, as well as significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects.
This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone who wants to know more about Switzerland.
