Balkan Wars(1st Edition) Habsburg Croatia, Ottoman Bosnia, and Venetian Dalmatia, 1499-1617 by JamesD. Tracy Hardcover, 456 Pages, Published 2016 by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers ISBN-13: 978-1-4422-1358-6, ISBN: 1-4422-1358-2
"Distinguished scholar James D. Tracy shows how the Ottoman advance across Europe stalled in the western Balkans, where three great powers confronted one another in three adjoining provinces: Habsburg Croatia, Ottoman Bosnia, and Venetian Dalmatia. Until about 1580, Bosnia was a platform for Ottoman expansion, and Croatia steadily lost territory, while Venice focused on protecting the Dalmatian harbors vital for its trade with the Ottoma ..."

"From this Frederick C. Lane went on to create his influential concept of protection
costs. As noted, his work is important in the history of economic history, for it
reintroduced political factors into the agenda for economic historians. The
concept of protection costs is a powerful and important one for a discussion of the
Mediterranean city-states and their trade policies, and Steensgaard has shown
how useful it is to analyze the ..."
Emperor Charles V, Impresario of War(1st Edition) Campaign Strategy, International Finance, and Domestic Politics by JamesD. Tracy Paperback, 362 Pages, Published 2010 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-14766-8, ISBN: 0-521-14766-2
"This book examines the three dimensions of European warfare, based on the campaigns of Emperor Charles V (1500-1558). Charles's role as commander-in-chief is evaluated by measuring his strategic aims. The process by which bankers took control of the finances of the Habsburg lands becomes clear from an examination of the source of the money to pay for Charles's campaigns. Finally, a comparison of the realms that provided most of Charle ..."
City Walls(1st Edition) The Urban Enceinte in Global Perspective (Studies in Comparative Early Modern History) by JamesD. Tracy, Cambridge University Press Paperback, 720 Pages, Published 2009 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-12415-7, ISBN: 0-521-12415-8
"The essays presented in this volume describe a phenomenon so widespread in human time and space that its importance is easily overlooked. City walls shaped the history of warfare; the mobilization of manpower and resources needed to build them favored some kinds of polities over others; and their massive strength, appropriately ornamented, created a visual language of authority. Chapters by historians and art historians explore how se ..."
The Rise of Merchant Empires(1st Edition) Long Distance Trade in the Early Modern World 1350-1750 (Studies in Comparative Early Modern History) by JamesD. Tracy Paperback, 464 Pages, Published 1993 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-45735-4, ISBN: 0-521-45735-1
"European dominance of the shipping lanes in the early modern period was a prelude to the great age of European imperial power in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yet in the present age we can see that the pre-imperial age was in fact more an 'age of partnership' or an 'age of competition' when the West and Asia vied on even terms. The essays in this volume examine, on a global basis, the many different trading empires from ..."
"Under what conditions were limited forms of self-government possible in medieval and early modern Europe? While many historians have sought an answer by investigating the development of parliamentary institutions in emerging national monarchies and the wider autonomy enjoyed by various city-states within their own borders, James D. Tracy concentrates instead on a relatively neglected phenomenon at an intermediate level of political orga ..."

"The essays presented in this volume, first published in 2000, describe a phenomenon so widespread in human time and space that its importance is easily overlooked. City walls shaped the history of warfare; the mobilisation of manpower and resources needed to build them favoured some kinds of polities over others; and their massive strength, appropriately ornamented, created a visual language of authority.

"Volume 2 of this superb two-volume set looks largely at religious and ecclesiastical topics, leading up to and following the Reformation. Other topics include new patterns of Christian life, the Reformation as it applied to the family and the sexes, the witch panic, and confessional Europe."

"Europe's Reformations establishes a new standard for historians of the early modern era. In recent decades, Reformation scholars have dismantled brick by brick the idea that the Middle Ages came to an abrupt end in 1517, with Martin Luther's Ninety-five Theses. Prominent historian James D. Tracy is the first scholar to effectively synthesize this new understanding of the profound continuities between medieval Catholic Europe and the mul ..."

Direct Action(1st Edition) Radical Pacifism from the Union Eight to the Chicago Seven by JamesD. Tracy Paperback, 212 Pages, Published 1996 by University Of Chicago Press ISBN-13: 978-0-226-81130-7, ISBN: 0-226-81130-1
"Direct Action tells the story of how a small group of "radical pacifists"—nonviolent activists such as David Dellinger, Staughton Lynd, A.J. Muste, and Bayard Rustin—played a major role in the rebirth of American radicalism and social protest in the 1950s and 1960s. Coming together in the camps and prisons where conscientious objectors were placed during World War II, radical pacifists developed an experimental protest style that emphas ..."
