  The Burma Wars - 1824-1886

  Between 1824 and 1885 Britain and Burma fought in three deadly struggles. 
   
   
   
  The first was the longest and most expensive war in British Indian history, the second was criticized at the time as being caused by gunboat diplomacy, and the third led to the removal of Burma's Konbaung dynasty and the incorporation of Burma into the British Raj. 
   
   
   
  These wars were fraught with military blunders and incompetence. 
   
   
   
  Why did the tensions arise initially and how did the first battles begin? How were Burmese forces able to resist the powerful armaments of their opponents for so long? And what were the implications of this controversial war for the British? 
   
   
   
  The Burma Wars: 1824–1886 uses a vast assortment of contemporary sources to build up a vivid picture of the clashes, highlighting the courage and perseverance of the men who fought for both sides in difficult conditions. 
   
   
   
  The Times described Bruce's books as "well researched, with a keen eye for historical detail." 
   
   
   
  The Burma Wars: 1824–1886 is a brilliant account of one of the conflicts that led to the formation of the British Empire. It is part of the series Conflicts of Empire, which also includes Retreat from Kabul and Six Battles for India.

  The Sociology of Education - How...

  Fred Grandsen

  Education is more than just a means of acquiring knowledge; it is a fundamental institution that shapes societies, influences social structures, and reinforces cultural norms. From a sociological perspective, education is not only about individual development but also about the reproduction of societal values, the maintenance of social order, and the facilitation of social mobility. By analyzing education through a sociological lens, we can better understand its role in shaping human interactions, economic opportunities, and power dynamics within a society. 
  Sociologists view education as both a social institution and a socializing agent. It transmits knowledge, skills, and values that prepare individuals to participate in society. However, education is not a neutral entity. The way it is structured, the content it delivers, and the access it provides can reinforce existing inequalities or serve as a tool for social change. Theories within the sociology of education, such as functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism, offer different perspectives on how education operates in society. 
  Functionalists argue that education serves a critical role in maintaining social cohesion. It provides individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute to the economy while also instilling shared values that create a sense of unity. From this perspective, schools function as meritocratic institutions, rewarding effort and ability regardless of social background. However, critics argue that this perspective overlooks the ways in which education can reproduce social inequalities.

  Mansa Musa and The Empire of...

  Oliver's well-researched biography of Mansa Musa echoes the style of an exotic tale of gold, glory, and adventure. During his long reign as Mali's emperor, Mansa Musa led his empire into its Golden Age; presided over a spectacular, 60,000 person, 9,000 mile pilgrimage; founded a university in Timbuktu; and helped revolutionize architecture across the Sudan.Many of the African ancestors of today's African-Americans came from West Africa. From 700 -- 1600 A. D., one after the other, three great, black, commercial empires dominated West Africa. They were powerful, prosperous, complex, stable -- and large. At its height, the Empire of Mali was the size of all of Western Europe.Well-crafted and fast paced, Oliver's book did not only clearly portray Mansa Musa's triumphs and dilemmas, but also the lives of the people of medieval Mali.
