  A fresh look at the American Revolution as a major global event At the time of the American Revolution (1765–83), the British Empire had colonies in India, Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific, Canada, Ireland, and Gibraltar. The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world in 1776. What of the loyal half? Why did some of Britain's subjects feel so aggrieved that they wanted to establish a new system of government, while others did not rebel? In this authoritative history, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy show that understanding the long-term causes of the American Revolution requires a global view. As much as it was an event in the history of the United States, the American Revolution was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. By looking beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution and considering colonies that did not rebel—Quebec, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, India, the British Caribbean, Senegal, and Ireland—Burnard and O'Shaughnessy go beyond the republican, liberal, and democratic aspects of the emerging American nation, providing a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution.

  From Alchemy to Illusions: A Journey Through the History of Magic takes readers on an enchanting voyage, tracing the impact of magic on civilization. From ancient shamanic practices to today’s theatrical illusions, this book reveals how magic has influenced culture, religion, science, and imagination for millennia. 
  Magic has long connected the mundane with the mystical, and in From Alchemy to Illusions, readers discover its role across societies. In Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, magic was a divine tool for healing and transformation. Medieval Europe saw a clash between magic and Christianity, while the Renaissance revived alchemy, astrology, and Hermeticism, blending magic with early scientific thought. 
  The book explores magic's role in religious rituals, from shamanism to Sufism and Kabbalah, each using magic as a bridge to the divine. It also delves into witch hunts and inquisitions that sought to suppress practices viewed as heretical.

  Why Did That Happen? - Aristotle...

  Why Did That Happen? Aristotle Has Four Answers and None of Them Are Helpful is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly educational crash course in Aristotelian philosophy—specifically his theory of causality, aka why things happen according to a man who thought everything, including acorns and chairs, had a spiritual destiny. 
  In this delightfully vicious breakdown of Aristotle’s metaphysics, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) drags you through the Four Causes—material, formal, efficient, and final—with all the reverence of a philosopher who’s had enough. Whether it’s trees yearning to be trees, tables having identity crises, or humans trying to find meaning while simultaneously sabotaging themselves, this book dissects Aristotle’s ancient framework with modern sarcasm and a side of existential dread. 
  Inside, you’ll get: 
  A roast of Aristotle’s greatest hits: substance, essence, and metaphysical overkill 
  Why your coffee mug apparently has purpose and moral character 
  How causality shows up in nature, ethics, AI, and your inability to commit 
  A final cause that dares to ask if you have one (spoiler: Aristotle thinks you should) 
  And a walk through the philosophical ruins of teleology, where purpose and pretension meet 
  Perfect for philosophy students, intellectual masochists, or anyone who’s ever asked “Why did that happen?” and gotten four wildly overcomplicated answers in response. 
  This is not your professor’s Aristotle. This is Aristotle, but make it bearable

  The Age of Imperialism - How...

  Imperialism, as a historical phenomenon, represents the policy or practice by which nations extend their influence and dominance over other territories. This expansion can occur through direct conquest, economic control, political manipulation, or cultural influence. The roots of imperialism stretch back to ancient empires such as Rome, Persia, and China, but the modern era of imperialism, often referred to as the “Age of Imperialism,” emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This period was characterized by unprecedented territorial acquisitions, fueled by technological advances, economic ambitions, and shifting global power dynamics. 
  At its core, imperialism was driven by a combination of motives that included economic gain, political power, and a belief in cultural superiority. Industrialization played a pivotal role in shaping these ambitions, as European powers sought raw materials to fuel their growing industries and markets to sell their manufactured goods. The technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution, such as steamships, railways, and advanced weaponry, gave European nations a significant edge in their quest to dominate foreign lands. 
  Political and military motivations also underpinned the imperialist agenda. Nations viewed overseas colonies as symbols of prestige and power, integral to maintaining their position in a competitive global hierarchy. Strategic locations were secured to control vital trade routes, ensuring access to global markets and protecting national interests. This race for dominance often led to conflicts among colonial powers, as each sought to outmaneuver the other in gaining influence over untapped regions.
