The book covers critical diplomatic maneuvers, particularly the meetings with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which were instrumental in securing international agreement on German unity. Horst Teltschik was a professor at the Technische Universität München (TUM), where he taught political science and international relations.

In this wide-ranging and stimulating book, a leading authority on the history of medicine and science presents convincing evidence that Dutch commerce, not religion, inspired the rise of science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Harold J. Cook scrutinizes a wealth of historical documents relating to the study of medicine and natural history in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe, Brazil, South Africa, and Asia during this era, and his conclusions are fresh and exciting. He uncovers direct links between the rise of trade and commerce in the Dutch Empire and the flourishing of scientific investigation.
