  This book bundle contains the following 3 titles: 
  - Mercantilism Explained: Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
  - Communism vs. Capitalism: An economic system refers to the structure and methods a society uses to produce, distribute, and consume goods and services. It defines how resources are allocated, how wealth is distributed, and how economic decisions are made. Different societies have developed various economic systems over time, influenced by their unique historical, cultural, and political contexts. Among these systems, capitalism and communism are two of the most prominent and contrasting economic ideologies that have shaped the global landscape. 
  - Economic Impacts of Imperialism: Cultural and ideological factors also played a role in shaping imperialism. The belief in the superiority of certain civilizations over others justified the conquest and subjugation of indigenous peoples. Religion was another motivator, with missionary efforts often accompanying territorial expansion. Christianity, in particular, became a tool for legitimizing imperial control, as colonizing powers framed their endeavors as missions to civilize and convert native populations.

  The Problems of Philosophy is a 1912 book by Bertrand Russell, in which the author attempts to create a brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. Focusing on problems he believes will provoke positive and constructive discussion, Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics: If it is uncertain that external objects exist, how can we then have knowledge of them but by probability. There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects simply because of sense data.

  In this joyous and inventive rereading of the beloved children’s book Harold and the Purple Crayon, the author of How We Change (And Ten Reasons Why We Don’t) celebrates our inherent “sacred originality” and establishes a new framework for self-reliance. 
  In 1955, Crockett Johnson introduced one of the world’s most beloved and enduring young adventurers, Harold and his purple crayon. Today, we need Harold and his penchant for creative solutions more than ever. In Purple Crayons, Ross Ellenhorn looks to Johnson’s classic for insights and answers that can help us understand our current condition and point the way towards solutions for healing. Purple Crayons tells a story about America then and now, about living one’s life as art; about the powers that block us from doing so, about the pull and perils of conformity; about serious play and too much seriousness, about what it means to feel alive inside and what deadens our existence. It’s also about 1955 in America, all that lay before and—presciently—all that lay ahead, as each of us struggles to draw meaningful and resilient existences on the blank pages—the future yet unlived—of our lives. 
  This delightful, provocative adventure is a gift of kindness and love that encourages us and gives us hope. As he traces Harold’s journey, Ellenhorn offers insights into our “sacred originality”—the idea that each of our unique inner lives are worth nurturing and protecting, and the perseverance, courage, connection, and community necessary to sustain them. Engaging, thoughtful, wise—Purple Crayons transcends the current divides separating us, reminding us that our fulfillment rests on tapping into what is original about ourselves, finding ways to express our originality, and understanding that doing so is rooted in who we are as Americans.

  Edith’s maid, Annie, while otherwise excellent in carrying out her duties, is ill tempered and disrespectful, so Dr. Damian Thatch has Edith bring her to him for a consultation. His suggested cure for such behavior in a maid is spanking and birching, which he demonstrates to his enthusiastic stepsister. 
  Edith takes particular delight in the control she has over Annie when she strips her maid for punishment, but she soon realizes that she wants more. Rather than simply punish her maid, Edith wants to take her as a man might. But the only female body she has ever touched has been her own, and what if Annie resists such treatment from her mistress? 
  Annie senses the sadistic urges developing in her mistress and is afraid that Edith will be severe in delivering punishments. She appeals to Damian for a medical solution to help control her behavior, but a maid cannot afford the services of a London physician. Damian, however, tells her of an alternative form of treatment that a mistress might perform on her maid, setting up Edith's first-time lesbian encounter with Annie bound and spread on Damian's consulting couch. 
  This is an adult only work of Victorian erotica fiction involving bondage, spanking, buggering, sadism, masochism, BDSM, and first-time lesbianism

  Step into the madcap medieval world of A Comic History of England, Book IV, where Gilbert Abbott à Beckett turns the tumultuous era of Henry IV to Richard III into a sidesplitting spectacle! From bumbling nobles to scheming kings, this uproarious volume skewers the Wars of the Roses, royal blunders, and the rise of the Tudors. It also explores Joan of Arc, and the truly astonishing Jacqueline of Hainault, a woman far more impressive than any English monarch. 
  Whether it’s Henry VI’s hapless reign, Edward IV’s dramatic escapades, or Richard III’s infamous legacy, à Beckett proves that history’s darkest dramas are also its funniest.  
  Perfect for fans of satire, history lovers with a sense of humor, or anyone who enjoys seeing pompous monarchs taken down a peg, this standalone volume delivers laughter alongside the Lancasters and Yorks, as they fight over the the princes in the tower and  theendless succession of pretenders to the throne, while also pretending to the throne of France once England was in hand. 
  After all, why should history be serious when it’s this absurd?
