        It’s all about changing the way people see the world, especially Europe, here at The Europeans. A big part of how we do that is through photographs. I am sure you’ve enjoyed the images we’ve posted over the years but I also know that some of you long to hold these images in your hands.

      • Taking the bull by the horns in Spain
        07/22/09
        In many ways, from banking to social benefits Europe is light years ahead of America. It seems like Europeans are also warming to the idea of electronic books and more importantly European publishers, unlike their American counterparts, are taking the bull by the horns when it comes to eBooks.

        07/21/09
        The E.U. Constitution is dead. Long live the E.U. Constitution. We learn more from Der Spiegel.

        07/15/09
        Protesting in Europe is a time honored tradition. Some young people see hurling paving stones at “the man” as a rite of passage. In the eyes of many no event more symbolizes global capitalist oppression than the G-8 summit, held this year in Italy. But for some reason the protestors have not booked

      • Seperate and Unequal
        07/13/09
        The global economic crisis is being deeply felt throughout Western Europe. Despite generally having a world class social safety net unemployment in some countries is nearing 20%, straining the system.

        How we treat those who transgress our laws is in interesting indication of what the values of a society are.

        07/03/09
        France is known for its rich cultural legacy one that is perhaps best or at least most famously manifested in its food. To visit France is to eat well, trust me, I know! But who are these people who fill the American fast food restaurants in Paris? Certainly not Americans by and large. We learn more

        07/01/09
        The year is half over. The solstice was also a few days ago and now I have spent more time outside of Europe this year than inside it.
