    During the 17th century, the Netherlands, despite having only 1.5 million people in 1600, became a global maritime and trading power. By contrast, France at the time had 20 million people, Spain had 8 million, and England had 5 million. Nevertheless, Amsterdam became one of the most important urban centers in the world and the location of the world’s first stock market, and Dutch merchant ships and pirates plied the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. The Dutch acquired colonies in the East Indies, where they seized control of the spice trade from the Portuguese, and in the West Indies, they acquired a number of islands from the Spanish (several of which are still Dutch today). They became the only Westerners who were allowed to trade with Shogunate Japan from a small island next to Nagasaki, and they settled the town that ultimately became New York City. Naturally, all of this imperialism generated enormous amounts of wealth that flowed into the Netherlands. 
	Naturally, not everybody welcomed the Europeans, and some of the fiercest opposition came from the Sultanate of Aceh. Aceh is now a part of Indonesia, but the people have stubbornly maintained a unique sense of self-identity based on a quite distinct and separate history. Once a major political and military power in the Indian Ocean, its power gradually declined over a period of several centuries, but Aceh successfully maintained its independence until 1873, when the Dutch invaded. The war between the Dutch and the Acehnese was the longest and bloodiest of the many Dutch military campaigns in Indonesia. Even after the Dutch technically subdued them, insurgency campaigns would last well into the 20th century, and sporadic fighting was still ongoing as the Japanese pushed across the Pacific in the 1930s and 1940s.

    A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms 
A GENERATION OF AMERICAN HISTORIOGRAPHY by William A. Dunning. Professor of History at Columbia University. Published in the Annual Report of the American Historical Association THE YEAR 1917. 
A nice overview of book trends and the histories/historians in the decades (a generation) prior to 1900, when most historians were male and white, of course … but not all. 
Note: This book is “read as written.” It was published in 1889. It is in the public domain. 
William A. Dunning (1857–1922) received his Ph.D. from Columbia in 1885 and continued to teach there. His most enduring work was in the field of European intellectual history, particularly the three-volume History of Political Theories, Ancient and Medieval (1902). However, he is also noted for his writings and the students he directed in the history the Reconstruction in the United States. In works like Reconstruction, Political and Economic, 1865–1877 he helped to ratify the unification of North and South on principles of white supremacy.

    When I think of my hell days, I think of crime scenes. Familiar sites, made uncanny with violence. 
 
In the fluorescent tedium of a call centre in 2018, acclaimed novelist Laura Elizabeth Woollett finds herself meticulously plotting her own death. Until her period arrives, and equilibrium with it. After years of dismissing these monthly turns, she’s diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Then, at 33, she falls pregnant and experiences a reprieve — but will it last? 
 
Through case studies, interviews, extensive medical research, forays into history, true crime, and algorithmic rabbit-holes, Woollett looks beyond herself to assemble a chorus of PMDD sufferers, along with dedicated scientists and clinicians. Navigating the impossible terrain between a potentially fatal disorder and treatments that can be almost as dangerous, Hell Days is a testament to the precarity and dignity of life as a periodically suicidal person in an often-brutal world.
