Summary

In "Aztec Ruins National Monument, New Mexico," John M. Corbett delves into the rich and complex history of one of the Southwest's most significant archaeological sites. Through meticulous research and evocative prose, Corbett explores the construction, cultural significance, and preservation efforts surrounding the ancient Puebloan site. The book is both a scholarly examination and a vivid narrative, intertwining historical context with the natural beauty of the region, all while employing a literary style that is accessible yet deeply insightful, making it a valuable resource for both academics and casual readers interested in the legacies of indigenous civilizations. John M. Corbett, a noted archaeologist and historian, draws upon his extensive field experience and academic background in anthropology to craft this profound exploration. His passion for preserving cultural heritage, combined with years of research in Native American studies, fuels his commitment to bringing lesser-known historical narratives to light. This contextual foundation enhances the book'Äôs depth, allowing readers to appreciate the intricate relationships between the past and present. I highly recommend "Aztec Ruins National Monument, New Mexico" to anyone interested in archaeology or the rich tapestry of Native American history. Corbett's work not only educates but also invites readers to engage with the monument'Äôs historical landscape, promoting a deeper understanding of the enduring legacy of the Puebloan peoples.

    For many years, Britain tried to impose its own laws on the peoples it conquered, and English common law usually followed the Union Jack. But the common law became less common after Britain emerged from the Seven Years' War as the world's most powerful empire. At that point, imperial policymakers adopted a strategy of legal pluralism: some colonies remained under English law, while others retained much of their previous legal regimes. 
     
     
      
    As legal historian Christian R. Burset argues, determining how much English law a colony received depended on what kind of colony Britain wanted to create. Policymakers thought English law could turn any territory into an anglicized, commercial colony; legal pluralism, in contrast, would ensure a colony's economic and political subordination. Britain's turn to legal pluralism thus reflected the victory of a new vision of empire—authoritarian, extractive, and tolerant—over more assimilationist and egalitarian alternatives. Among other implications, this helps explain American colonists' reverence for the common law: it expressed and preserved their equal status in the empire. This book, the first empire-wide overview of law as an instrument of policy in the eighteenth-century British Empire, offers an imaginative rethinking of the relationship between tolerance and empire.

    A thrilling and vivid work of history, Class War weaves together literature and politics to chart the making and unmaking of social class through revolutionary combat. In a narrative that spans the globe and more than two centuries of history, Mark Steven traces the history of class war from the Haitian Revolution to Black Lives Matter. 
     
     
     
    Surveying the literature of revolution, from the poetry of Shelley and Byron to the novels of Émile Zola and Jack London, exploring the writings of Frantz Fanon, Che Guevara, and Assata Shakur, Class War reveals the interplay between military action and the politics of class, showing how solidarity flourishes in times of conflict. Written with verve and ranging across diverse historical settings, Class War traverses industrial battles, guerrilla insurgencies, and anticolonial resistance, as well as large-scale combat operations waged against capitalism's regimes and its interstate system. 
     
     
     
    In our age of economic crisis, ecological catastrophe, and planetary unrest, Steven tells the stories of those whose actions will help guide future militants toward a revolutionary horizon.
