The collection is informed by the rich history of Punch, a publication notorious for its editorial prowess and social satire. Established in 1841, Punch was pivotal in shaping Victorian and Edwardian humor, allowing its contributors—including notable cartoonists—an avenue to express dissent and critique.

For readers interested in the interplay of art, history, and social commentary, "Punch Cartoons of the Great War" is an invaluable resource. It invites reflection on the absurdities of conflict, reminding us that even in the darkest times, humor can provide solace and perspective. Whether you're a scholar of war literature or simply a lover of art and satire, this anthology promises to enrich your understanding of the impact of visual culture in shaping wartime narratives.

    This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
    1: The Greek general and king, Alexander the Great, is a name you might have heard before. Although his historical journey varies greatly from the stories and rumors about him, he did accomplish many victories in Asia and Europe in his conquest to rule the world. 
    In this guide, we will go over his appearance, his character, his many battles, his clever military strategies, and the regions he conquered. His vast empire stretched farther than much else had before his time. But eventually, it became divided, and the throne was being fought over. This was one of the things that shows us how much of a difference he made as a ruler in his empire. 
    2: Undoubtedly, Napoleon, the French revolutionist and emperor has left his mark on European history. His vast empire stretched all over the continent, his unique image and posture have been emulated by many, and his infamous defeat in Russia was a precursor of the defeat Hitler experienced for similar reasons. 
    When we take a time machine to the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, how can we better understand the culture and ideas of those times? How did someone from the relatively tiny island of Corsica become such an iconic figure in history? 
    3: William the First, who was also called William the Conqueror and in some cases William the Bastard, was the first Norman emperor of England, ruling from 1066 till his death in 1087. Around this time, many wars and battles were waged over the kingdom and distribution of territories in Europe. France, the Anglo-Saxons, and Scandinavian troops were engaged in raids, struggles, and battles to claim their lands and gains.

    Made in Manchester: A people’s...

    A rich and vivid history of Britain's second city through the people who made it 
    ‘What Manchester thinks today, England thinks tomorrow.’  
    Long before Manchester gave the world titans of industry, comedy, music and sport, it was the cosmopolitan Roman fort of Mamucium. But it was as the ‘shock city’ of the Industrial Revolution that Manchester really made its mark on the world stage. A place built on hard work and innovation, it is no coincidence that the digital age began here too, with the world’s first stored-program computer, Baby. 
    A city as radical as it is revolutionary, Manchester has always been a political hotbed. The Peterloo Massacre is immortalised in British folklore and the city was a centre for pioneering movements such as Chartism. Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst hailed from here and the city still treasures its wilful independence. 
    Manchester’s spirited individuality has carried through into its artistic output too, bringing the world Anthony Burgess, L.S. Lowry, Jeanette Winterson, Joy Division and Oasis. Mention United or City almost anywhere and you’ll find fans, and opinions. 
    Until now, this magnificent city did not have its definitive history. From the author of the bestselling Northerners, this work of unrivalled authority and breadth tells the story of a changing place and its remarkable people. 
    In this autobiography of a city, Brian Groom delves into the historical and social aspects of Manchester, painting a vivid picture of its evolution from the 19th century to the 21st. The non-fiction work is a testament to the city's popular culture, its influence on Britain and Europe, and its significant contributions to science. 
    For fans of Rick Broadbent (Jessica Ennis), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), Simon Jenkins (The Celts), Andy Burnham (Head North), and Ian Mortimer (Medieval Horizons).

  • The Dunning-Kruger Effect - Why Incompetent Individuals Overestimate Their Abilities - cover

    The Dunning-Kruger Effect - Why...

    The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that leads individuals with limited knowledge or ability in a particular area to overestimate their competence. Named after psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, who first identified this phenomenon in 1999, the effect reveals a paradox in human cognition: the less people know, the more likely they are to believe they know everything. Conversely, experts in a field tend to underestimate their abilities, assuming that others possess the same level of expertise. This bias is not only fascinating from a psychological standpoint but also carries significant implications for personal, professional, and societal development. 
    At the core of the Dunning-Kruger effect is the misjudgment of one’s capabilities, which stems from a lack of metacognitive awareness—the ability to assess one’s own knowledge and skills accurately. Incompetent individuals, lacking the expertise required to recognize their deficiencies, are unable to discern how little they know. This lack of insight leads them to overestimate their abilities and make decisions based on flawed reasoning. As a result, they may unknowingly engage in behaviors that exacerbate their incompetence, further reinforcing their false sense of expertise. 
    One of the most compelling aspects of the Dunning-Kruger effect is its broad applicability across various fields. From everyday social interactions to high-stakes decision-making in professional environments, this cognitive bias affects people at all levels. In the workplace, for example, leaders with limited knowledge in a specific domain may make decisions that negatively impact their teams, while employees with expertise may remain silent or defer to those who appear more confident. In education, students and teachers alike may fall victim to this effect, with the former believing they fully understand a topic despite limited comprehension, and the latter overestimating their teaching efficacy.
