Paperback. Condition: New. Illustrating Empire tells the history of the British Empire through the ephemeral images used to promote, record, and celebrate its development. The narrative is told through more than 200 striking and original images accompanied by illuminating story captions which unlock the history and meaning behind the illustrations. Following a general introduction which provides an overarching discussion of Empire and its many facets, the book is structured around eight major themes associated with the British Empire and Britain's encounter with non-Europeans: emigration and settlement; imperial authority; exploration and knowledge; trade and commerce; travel and communications; popular culture; exhibitions and jubilees; and politics. Each chapter opens with an introduction which sets the overall context for the visual narrative to follow. The book examines the significance of a range of media in purveying ideas about empire and the non-European world. It also provides a clear summary of scholarly debates regarding the significance of empire in terms of British culture. This book represents a significant contribution to the literature on culture and empire, and will be an engaging and useful source for scholars as well as students and general readers.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the moral philosophies of the 18th and 19th centuries, arguing that they constitute opposing paradigms where the individual's relationship with society is concerned. It is maintained that the 18th century enlightenment thinkers, responding to Hobbes' claim that the natural state of man was characterized by isolated, selfish individuals, sought to counter his egoism by emphasizing the social and cooperative aspects of human nature. Accordingly, this book traces the progression from 18th century individualistic theories to 19th century organic conceptions of society, highlighting along the way the efforts made to reconcile self-interest and social welfare, and emphasizing the influence of evolutionary ethics in the shift towards prioritizing the social organism over the individual. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
