What comes next for a former leader in a democracy – a Prime Minister or a President obliged to leave office because they have lost an election, come to the end of their constitutionally-fixed term, fallen ill, lost the backing of their party, or (more rarely) chosen to call it a day and voluntarily step down? Covering the USA, Britain, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Israel, this book analyses the role, experience and political influence of former leaders in Western democratic states. The book's comparative approach highlights factors of variation and coincidence between the single-country cases, which look at countries of different sizes and weights in the world; with a variety of constitutional, governmental and party systems and differing national cultures and contexts. Among the issues discussed in the collection are: whether there are broad historical phases and trends across the case studies; whether expectations of post-office rewards and activities affect leaders' behaviour in office and willingness to leave; how far political system variables as opposed to individual variables shape or determine the nature of post-office careers; how far differences in post-office roles are related to party differences, manner of exit from office, length of tenure, relations with successors, perceived success or failure in office, age and health factors; and how far former leaders learn from and copy the example of other former leaders.

Les archives Ben Gourion contiennent un document d'une importance exceptionnelle pour l'histoire du 20e siècle. En effet, de 1915 à 1972 (la partie antérieure ayant brûlé dans un incendie), David Ben Gourion a tenu un journal, jour après jour, tout en conservant, en parallèle, les lettres qu'il recevait du monde entier et même les copies-carbone des lettres que lui-même envoyait. Le journal, tel qu'il est conservé, compte 20 000 pages en hébreu. La partie qui nous concerne couvre cinq cahiers manuscrits petit format d'une cinquantaine de pages chacun. La période est cruciale : il s'agit de la naissance de l'Etat d'Israël, autour de sa proclamation en 1948. L'ouvrage sera constitué du journal lui-même, entre l'hiver 1947, date de la résolution 181 de l'ONU prévoyant la partition de la Palestine en trois états, dont un état juif, et le printemps 1949 et la fin de la guerre que cette partition déclenche, sans s'interdire de citer des extraits antérieurs ou postérieurs permettant de mieux comprendre les conditions de la création de l'Etat d'Israël. S'ajouteront des documents complémentaires tels que comptes rendus de réunions ministérielles, correspondances et photographies.

Published in the mid 1980s, the highly successful first edition of this title investigated the mathematical underpinnings of computer encryption, a discipline drawing heavily on the factorization of large numbers into primes. The book served a broad audience of researchers, students, practitioners of cryptography, and non-scientific readers with a mathematical inclination, treating four fundamental problems: the number of primes below a given limit, the approximate number of primes, the recognition of primes, and the factorization of large numbers. The second edition of the work, released in the mid 1990s, expanded significantly upon the original book, including important advances in computational prime number theory and factorization, as well as revised and updated tables. With explicit algorithms and computer programs, the author illustrated applications while attempting to discuss many classically important results along with more modern discoveries. Although it has been over a decade since the publication of this second edition, the theory it contained remains still highly relevant, and the particular cryptosystem it addressed (RSA public-key) is ubiquitous. Therefore, in addition to providing a historical perspective on many of the issues in modern prime number theory and data encryption, this soft cover version—which reproduces the second edition exactly as it originally appeared—offers affordable access to a great deal of valuable information. Highly readable for a wide variety of mathematicians, students of applied number theory, and others, this modern classic will be of interest to anyone involved in the study of number theory and cryptography. Reviews: Here is an outstanding technical monograph on recursive number theory and its numerous automated techniques. It successfully passes a critical milestone not allowed to many books, viz., a second edition... All in all, this handy volume continues to be an attractive combination of number-theoretic precision, practicality, and theory with a rich blend of computer science.  —Zentralblatt MATH The book...is an enthusiastic introduction to some of the ideas concerned with primes and factorization. It should be of interest to anyone who would like to learn about the use of computers in number theory. —Mathematical Reviews.
