In the Middle Ages, merchants changed the face of Europe as they spent their lives buying and selling goods. Medieval Merchant explores the daily lives of the men and women of the merchant class, where they traveled, how they were educated, how they conducted business, and how their business affairs influenced and improved the lives of average citizens.

From despotic rulers in Europe to revolt and slavery in America to the first rumblings of the Industrial Revolution, the eighteenth century was a time of unrest and intellectual advancement amidst a climate of repression. This anthology covers the century with chapters on philosophers and writers, monarchs and wars, and the growth and struggle for independence of the thirteen British colonies in America.

As early as the 1500s, fur traders from Europe began to arrive in the Subarctic region of North America. These traders were greeted by the many groups of native peoples already living in the region. These native peoples had their own languages, cultures, and methods for hunting and surviving in this land where it snowed 200 days a year. Many native peoples still live throughout the Subarctic. They are working to revive their traditions and languages and preserve the land. Read more about the history and culture of the native peoples of the Subarctic.
