Summary

Alexis de Tocqueville was a French nineteenth century political philosopher and historian. His landmark work ‘Democracy in America’ (1840) analyses the improved living standards and social conditions of individuals as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. The treatise won Tocqueville an immediate reputation as an esteemed political scientist. In later years, he turned to the subject of the French Revolution and, after years of research, he published ‘The Old Regime and the Revolution’, exploring French society before the French Revolution, the so-called “Ancien Régime”, while investigating the forces that led to the 1789 Revolution. The book is now generally considered one of the major early historical works on the subject, which expands on Tocqueville’s main theory about the Revolution — the theory of continuity. This eBook presents Tocqueville’s collected (almost complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    The Creole Rebellion tells the suspenseful story of a successful mutiny on board the slave ship Creole. En route for a New Orleans slave-auction block in November 1841, nineteen captives mutinied, killing one man and injuring several others. After taking control of the vessel, mutineer Madison Washington forced the crewmen to sail to the Bahamas. Despite much local hysteria upon their arrival, all of the 135 slaves aboard the ship won their freedom there. 
 
 
 
The revolt significantly fueled and amplified the slave debate within a divided nation that was already hurtling toward a Civil War. While this is a book about the United States confronting the ugly and tumultuous issue of slavery, it is also about the 135 enslaved men and women who were unwilling to take their oppression any longer and rose up to free themselves in a bloody fight. Part history, part adventure, and part legal drama, Bruce Chadwick chronicles the most successful slave revolt in the pages of American history.

    Mythology has always been a reflection of human culture, shaping beliefs, traditions, and the way people understand the world. Across Asia, an incredibly diverse range of myths and legends has developed over thousands of years, creating a rich spiritual tapestry that continues to influence daily life. These myths tell stories of powerful deities who govern the heavens, fearsome demons that bring destruction, and legendary heroes whose deeds inspire generations. Whether found in Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, or Taoist traditions, these stories reveal deep cultural values and offer insights into the forces that ancient civilizations believed controlled their destinies.  
  
Deities and demons in Asian mythology are not merely figures of worship or fear; they serve as representations of human emotions, natural phenomena, and moral lessons. Many gods and spirits embody forces of nature—thunder, wind, fire, and water—while others symbolize virtues such as wisdom, courage, and compassion. Some deities are benevolent protectors, while others test humanity through trials and temptations. Meanwhile, demons and malevolent spirits serve as cautionary figures, reminding people of the consequences of greed, arrogance, or disobedience to the divine order. These myths have been passed down through oral tradition, sacred texts, and artistic expressions, evolving over time yet retaining their core significance.

    In the winter of 1650–51, 150 ragged Scottish prisoners of war arrived at Massachusetts Bay Colony, where they were sold as indentured laborers for twenty to thirty pounds each. Among them was Thomas Doughty, a common foot soldier who had survived the Battle of Dunbar. Doughty was among some 420 Scottish soldiers who were captured during the War of the Three Kingdoms, transported to America, and sold between 1650 and 1651. Their experiences offer a fresh perspective on seventeenth-­century life. 
 
 
 
The Involuntary American: A Scottish Prisoner's Journey to the New World describes Doughty's life as a soldier, prisoner of war, exile, servant, lumberman, miller, and ultimately free landowner. It follows him and his peers through critical events: the apex of the Little Ice Age, the War of the Three Kingdoms, the colonization of New England, the burgeoning transatlantic trade in servants and slaves, King Philip's and King William's wars, and the Salem witch crisis. 
 
 
 
The Involuntary American demonstrates how even indi­viduals of humble circumstances were swept into the mael­strom of the First Global Age. It expands our understanding of immigration to the colonies, colonial servitude, the link­ages and tensions between Europe, Massachusetts Bay, and America's northeastern frontier, and of New England socie­ty in the early colonial period.
