This chapter discusses the drama and tension of the accession, and the history of the Union of the Crowns in the lifetime of James. James VI was proclaimed King of England when Elizabeth died. It was ruthlessly silent about James' Anglo-Scottish ancestry. But what James VI had inherited from his Stuart ancestors, most notably James IV and the even more effective James V, was a lofty vision of the diplomatic importance of the King of Scots and his ability to have an impact on other European countries. In 1603, the brutal fact was that the Scots and the English disliked one another intensely. The theme of Anglo-Scottish hostility is briefly outlined. The Union of 1603 did have a profound impact on his style of kingship. It was also noted that the dearth of Tudor heirs contributed to the absolute problem of finding different kings for England and Scotland. When celebrating the fourth centenary of that momentous event, the toast was certainly to King James.

We don't know where humanity is going. It's challenging to keep up with the rapid advancements in science and technology. In real life, both true and fictional 'truths' play important roles. Huxley's utopian/dystopian novel Brave New World (BNW) depicts a possible future for humanity through his description of a society organized and controlled through the use of science. A contemporary history book, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow (HD), also discusses the potential of humanity facing extinction in the future. This discussion employs HD to shed light on BNW, using Marxist and New Historicist arguments. Its goals are to analyze the irony in the works, the threat to invention and creativity, oligarchy and hedonism, the name allusions in the works, and the future prospect of engeneered homo sapiens as eternal working classes. The research discovered that both books are based on humanism, but humans are not treated as they should, that the lower castes in BNW cannot become innovative and creative because they are engineered, that the small oligarchy (the Alphas) maintains its power by providing pleasures for the lower castes so as to forget that they are being controlled.

This study’s aim is to analyze the discursive construction of Brazil in the chronicle of Pero Gândavo, História da Província Santa Cruz que Vulgarmente Chamamos Brasil (1576) and in the travel collection of Richard Hakluyt, The Principal Navigations, Voyages and Trafqques of the English Nation (1589-1600). Printed books played a crucial role during the sixteenth century once the editors built a history of the new-found lands in accordance with their reigns’ economic and ideological interests. For Gândavo, the chronicle assured the Portuguese possession over Brazil whereas for Richard Hakluyt, the travel collection denied Iberians’ kings sovereignty over the New World and extolled the English maritime enterprise in the Americas, especially in the lands not effectively colonized by the Iberians. We suggest that the printed book was a stage in which the European countries struggled for the riches of Americas.

New Challenges

This concluding chapter explains that as viruses like human immunodeficiency virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome, Zika, and West Nile evolve and emerge, humans are faced with new challenges. Simultaneously, perceptions about new infections and new plagues continue to change. What can and should be done? One must now consider the possible return of smallpox and its use as a weapon of bioterrorism. Meanwhile, even as the march to contain measles and poliomyelitis viruses continues at an impressive pace, bumps and setbacks have been encountered along the way, especially with measles having recurred in 2019 at the time of writing this book. Ultimately, the history of viruses, plagues, and people is an account of the world and the events that shape it. In the end, the splendor of human history is not in wars won, dynasties formed, or financial empires built but in improvement of the human condition. The obliteration of diseases that impinge on people’s health is a regal yardstick of civilization’s success, and those who accomplish that task will be among the true navigators of a brave new world.

The study examined the development of ideas of the limits of the Ukrainian people settling in connection with the compilation of ethnographical maps of Austrian and Russian monarchies since the 20s of XIX century. The views of researchers who have studied this question in different periods are analyzed. For the first time, the Ukrainian ethnic territory was reflected in printed form in 1477 in Bologna edition of C. Ptolemy’s “Geography”. The map was prepared by the chalcography method with a minor reworking of N. German. Since then this map was included to all of 57 editions of this “Geography” until 1730. Changes in the boundaries of the settling of the Ukrainian nation were tracked based on a detailed study and analysis of cartographic sources, summarizing the results of ethnographic, historical and geographical research of Ukrainian ethnic territory. Regular censuses of the population were introduced in the early XIX century in many European countries and ethnographic research connected with the Ukrainian national revival was significantly intensified. It created the objective preconditions for the beginning of ethnic mapping in the 1820s. It was possible to map the composition of the population in detail, individually by settlements and to determine the absolute and relative part of a separate nationality in a certain territory. Basic cartographic works reflected the ethnic Ukrainian territory were chronologically depicted. A description of many ethnic maps was made. The history of the ethnographic mapping of the territory of the settling of Ukrainians was chronologically analyzed based on the processing a significant number of maps and literature sources. Key words: ethnographic research, map, Ukrainian lands, ethnos.

AbstractEpidemics and pandemics have happened throughout the history of mankind. Before the end of the 20th century, scientific progress successfully eradicated several of the pathogens. While no one has to be afraid of smallpox anymore, there are some new pathogens that have never caused human disease before. Coronaviruses are a family of enveloped RNA viruses. In the 21st century, three of them have caused serious pandemics, including severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2002 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in 2012. In 2019 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives and continues to rage.

In the checkered history of Africology, from early colonial endeavorsto the brave new world of postcolonialist dissections, few scholarselicited the excitement and adoration that Professor Ali Al-Amin Mazrui(1933-2014) did. On the very continent that he studied so intensely, libraries,educational centers, and roads have been named for him posthumouslyin recognition of his manifold contributions. And yet, althoughrare by the standards of academic aloofness, the adulation of his defenderswas matched by the abrasive disdain and aberrant hostility ofhis detractors, some of whom were undoubtedly driven by intellectualor political opposition to his underlying project of reviving non-westernconsciousness during an era so marked by the supposed universalismof western finance, culture, and militarism.To be certain, though, Mazrui was not fazed by such criticism orchallenge; instead, it would appear that he rather thrived on controversy,relishing each emergent opportunity to provide correctives to the receivedwisdom. Indeed, when writing, Mazrui was often schooling. Hisdeliberately provocative pronouncements, in prose and speech, wouldquestion and rattle, but always make, in demonstrative (rather than didactic)terms, poignant points about errors perceptual and praxeological.In so doing, Mazrui – clearly inspired by the finesse of his Oxforddoctoral training – was not shy to adopt riveting rhetorical devices:irony, hyperbole, and simile abounded. Such devices, however, did notobscure the structured ways, even if implicit, through which his analysisunfolded. When he took the time, he would reason as well as argue inclear schemata by employing binaries, triads, dichotomies, and juxtapositions.His eye for detail was as pronounced as his mastery of history:microhistory could give way to longue durée in a paragraph, thelocal and the global would intertwine, and the ideational and the ...

Abstract The history of the domestication of cotton is very complex and is not known exactly. Cotton has been found during archaeological research at sites in both the old and new world, independently, indicating that the crop had been grown and domesticated with the fibres converted into fabric, using the earliest forms of combs, spindles and primitive looms. Information on the history of cotton cultivation and manufacture of cotton textiles in various Asian and European countries are also presented.
