  This book consists of three titles, which are the following: 
    - The Colonial Legacy: Colonialism has been a defining force in shaping the modern world, leaving an indelible mark on political systems, economic structures, and cultural identities. At its core, colonialism is the practice of domination, where one nation establishes control over another, often exploiting its resources and people for economic and political gain. While the phenomenon of colonialism spans centuries, its modern form gained momentum during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, when European powers began venturing across the globe in search of wealth, land, and influence. 
    
    - Imperialism and Its Legacy: The rise of modern imperialism coincided with the emergence of powerful European states, including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Italy, who sought to expand their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These empires often operated on the belief in a hierarchy of races and cultures, with European nations placing themselves at the top, justifying their domination as a benevolent act for the supposed betterment of “lesser” civilizations. 
    - The Age of Imperialism: 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.

  Who Needs College Anymore? -...

  With keen insight, Kathleen deLaski reimagines what higher education might offer and whom it should serve in Who Needs College Anymore? In the wake of declining US university enrollment and widespread crises of confidence in the value of a college degree, deLaski urges a mindset shift regarding the learning routes and credentials that best prepare students for success after high school. 
   
   
   
  The work draws on a decade of design-thinking research from the nonprofit Education Design Lab as well as 150 interviews of educational experts, college and career counselors, teachers, employers, and learners. DeLaski applies human-centered design to higher education reform, engaging the perspective of end users to search for better solutions. She highlights ten top principles based on user feedback and considers how well they are currently being enacted by colleges. 
   
   
   
  In particular, she urges institutions to better attend to the needs of new-majority learners, often described as nontraditional students, including people from low-income backgrounds, people of color, first-generation students, veterans, single mothers, rural students, part-time attendees, and neurodivergent students. She finds ample opportunity for colleges to support learners via alternative pathways to marketable knowledge. This work suggests innovation as a means of evolution.

  The Era of Revolution - 1775-1796

  George Washington, Maximilien de...

  Six speeches about freedom and revolution from the American, French and Irish revolutions.The first two speeches are from the American Revolutionary war (1775-1783). Patrick Henry’s “Give me Liberty or give me death” is recognized even today, two centuries since Henry spoke at the Second Virginia Convention to an audience including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. The speech is credited with providing troops from Virginia for the revolutionary war.In the Newburgh Address, Washington and implores his army to put their faith in him. A mutiny was proposed because Congress has not paid them as promised. Washington needed to make clear to his generals that there was no option to surrender or turn away to unsettled lands, and that he was with them and on their side in the thick of both war and politics.Next is William Wilberforce’s Abolition Speech to the British parliament in 1789, the apex of a campaign that led to slavery being outlawed across the British Empire.Speeches from the French revolution then follow. First, there is the reaction from the aristocracy in England; a valediction from Edmund Burke, an MP in the British Parliament, on the beauty of Marie Antoinette and his sadness at her passing.Four speeches follow by Maximilien de Robespierre, a foundational member of the French Revolution, who laid down the political philosophy of liberty and the moral law over divinity and customary law. The speeches are filled with a passion for direct democracy and the rule of the people, not the elites.The volume ends with a more measured, but no less impassioned, address by the Irish lawyer and statesman John Curran. It was given in Curran’s defence of Archibald Rowan, who was sentenced to transportation to Australia for his treasonous activities fighting for Irish independence. While unsuccessful, this rallying cry for genuine self-determination and free speech captures the heart of the conflicts that defined the era.
