Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies. In a new introduction, Colin Palmer assesses the lasting impact of Williams's groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.

Amanda Jane Rush didn't plan to be a New York socialite. But here she was, owner of a beauty and fashion boutique, living in a cute, cozy bachelorette pad in SoHo that was the envy of her friends, and sharing life with her lovable dog. But when an unexpected letter arrives, she is reluctantly summoned back to a place she fought hard to forget, and to the family that she abandoned long ago. She hasn’t seen or talked to her mother, family and friends in a decade. With coaxing from her squad, she returns to Alabama to discover that everything she knew growing up had changed, her family was keeping scandalous secrets, and everything she knew was a total lie. Saraland is a sweeping, sexy, humorous story about friends, family, loss, love and identity, and how one woman's world is completely turned inside out.

Who doesn't love the college life? For free-spirited Marlo Sage Henderson, it would allow him to meet people and have fun far from the watchful gaze of his grandmother. It would also connect him with a headstrong girl that would change his life forever. Love can be a battlefield though, when his free-spirited nature gets the best of him, and he finds himself juggling a series of rollercoaster relationships where the guy gets the girls but he becomes the girls' undoing.While he navigate the challenges he creates for himself in life, ultimately his path is set on a collision course with forces beyond this universe.

For college sophomore Marlo Sage Henderson, living with his grandmother instead of on campus means curfews that he never really follows, chores he always seems to forget and lectures that he simply just ignores. Spring break can't come fast enough. Hanging with his boys, meeting hot co-eds, hitting up clubs and enjoying the sun and sand in Southern California is all he can think about. He'll be far from his church-centered grandmother's watchful eye, so he can do what he wants without worrying about the consequences. But when a chance encounter with a headstrong girl sends his plans veering sideways, he is completely thrown off of his game. Maybe she has what it takes to show Sage what it means to truly be committed to something real. Or maybe he will tear her heart apart. In Sympatheia, everything in the universe in organically connected, and one moment of recklessness can change everything. It can also destroy everyone around you, and create the perfect villain in the one person you never thought could ever hurt you.
