Land, Law and Empire
In this innovative exploration of British rule in India, John Marriott tackles one of the most significant and unanswered questions surrounding the East India Company's success. How and when was an English joint stock company with trading interests in the East Indies transformed into a fully-fledged colonial power with control over large swathes of the Indian subcontinent? The answer, Marriott argues, is to be found much earlier than traditionall…

History
Archaeology
In the mid twentieth century, archaeology came under the spell of theory as Gordon Childe urged his contemporaries seriously to address the matter of explanation. So-called historical archaeology has to our minds offered considerable potential in overcoming artificial barriers between the disciplines, as evidenced, for example, in the recent work on early imperial formation. Most would think that archaeologists deal with the ancient past, that is…
Anthropology
This chapter begins by outlining the differences between anthropology and history before going on to explore the considerable areas of common ground between the two disciplines. The use of ritual in historical studies influenced a whole generation of historiography, especially apparent since the 1960s. In the twentieth century, the relationship between history and anthropology fluctuated and was dependent on developments in each discipline. The c…

Is spurious penicillin allergy a major public health concern only in high-income countries
Inaccurate penicillin allergy labels (PALs) are a major public health problem in high-income countries and has been linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and huge healthcare costs. Data regarding epidemiology of PALs and its potential association with AMR is sparse in low-income countries (LICs), low-middle-income countries (LMICs) and upper-middle-income countries (UMICs). There are no established drug allergy labelling and delabelling pathwa…
The other empire
This is a detailed study of the various ways in which London and India were imaginatively constructed by British observers during the nineteenth century. This process took place within a unified field of knowledge that brought together travel and evangelical accounts to exert a formative influence on the creation of London and India for the domestic reading public. Their distinct narratives, rhetoric and chronologies forged homologies between rep…
Other Empire
So immense an empire
The accumulation of empirical material illustrates a determined attempt to know the Indian landscape and village life in order better to exercise economic and political authority. This chapter highlights the more systematic, centralized, totalizing and abstract bodies of knowledge based on fundamental discourses of race, caste and criminality. Until the late eighteenth century orientalist interests in ancient language and culture had prevailed. W…

Sustaining the Assyrian Army Amount Friends and Enemies in 714 BCE
This study aims to investigate how the Assyrian army functioned and survived while on a campaign in difficult, hostile, mountainous territory by studying the narrative of the campaign led in 714 BCE by Sargon II of Assyria (r. 721–705 BCE) into the northern Zagros mountain range, today the border region between Iraqi-Kurdistan and Iran and beyond. The main focus is on the manner in which the army procures food while cut off from Assyrian supply l…
The East India Company’s London Workers
Margaret Makepeace has made full use of the happy opportunity presented to her to undertake research on an archive held at the place where she works, and about which she has expert knowledge. Thus, in the course of studying for the Ph.D. on which this book is based, she has excavated the vast collection of material accumulated by the East India Company, and now held by the India Office Records at the British Library, to investigate what she right…
What is Online Research
The massive expansion of the internet into every aspect of our lives creates a challenge for social researchers: can they simply transfer their traditional methods and techniques online or do they need to reinvent research methods for the new environment? As online research becomes increasingly prevalent it becomes more important for researchers to have an answer to these questions and an approach to conducting research online. This book is a str…

The Imperial Horizons of British Protestant Missions, 1880–1914
The Imperial Horizons of British Protestant Missions, 1880–1914, ed. Andrew Porter (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdman's Publishing Co., 2003; pp. 250. £32.99). The orthodox belief that British missionary endeavour sustained imperial expansion has in recent years come under critical scrutiny, with the result that we now talk hesitatingly about the putative relationship between ‘the Bible and the flag’. This can but be healthy since it compels us to …
