The quest for knowledge during a period of uncertainty may lead a new generation of students to the importance of places and populations, rather than ideology, as the basis for national security policy. Colin Gray has observed that in international affairs "Geography defines the players (which are territorially organized states, or would like to be), frequently defines the stakes for which the players contend, and always defines the terms in which they measure security relative to others."[1] The articles in this issue on NATO, particularly "The Geopolitics of NATO Enlargement" by John Hillen and Michael P. Noonan, add substance to Gray's insights. In 1996 the National Defense University released a reprint of the 1942 edition of Halford J. Mackinder's classic

Professor History
Millersville University Background to the Age of Discovery: One cannot begin to understand Christopher Columbus without understanding the world into which he was born. The 15 th century was a dynamic century, a century of change. There were many historical events throughout Western Europe that impacted society profoundly. Directly affecting the future explorer much closer to home, however, were three momentous events in and around the Mediterranean:
1) the Conquest of Ceuta in North Africa by the Portuguese in 1415
2) the Fall of Constantinople to the Muslim Turks in 1453, and
3) the defeat of Muslim Granada by the Christian Spaniards in 1492. All three events were driven by the centuries-long conflict between the Christians and the Muslims. Ceuta:
High on the pantheon of names of important figures of the Age of Discovery is Henry the Navigator's. He is considered by many historians to have provided not only the inspiration for the Age but much of the practical knowledge accumulated over decades of trial and error in developing ocean-going ships, sails, and navigational aids, some even borrowed from the Arabs. The Caravel, which came to be identified with this period of exploration, was a product of his assiduous search for a better ocean-going vessel. Henry contributed significantly to the psychology of discovery and helped to whet the appetite of those who were daring enough to venture out in search of riches.
