Foreword (BAR 10)

In it you can read about historical and contemporary issues, from east and west, from software to music, from philosophy to psychology, from Nazi Germany to recent UK defence decision-making. You can also read about several policy issues of concern to scholars and the Academy, including copyright and the decline in the study of modern foreign languages.

I hope you will find the articles in the Review interesting and thought-provoking. I am grateful to the authors and to Elizabeth Ollard, its editor.
