| Summary/Abstract |
Race. You know it at a glance: he's black; she's white. They're Asian; we're Latino. Racism. I'm better; she's worse. Those people do those kinds of things. We all know it's wrong to make these judgments, but they come faster than thought. Why? Where did those feelings come from? Why are they so powerful?

| Summary/Abstract |
Sugar has left a bloody trail through human history. Cane, not cotton or tobacco drove the Atlantic slave trade and took the lives of countless Africans who toiled on vast sugar plantations under cruel overseers. And yet the very popularity of sugar gave abolitionists in England the one tool that could finally end the slave trade. This book traces the history of sugar from its origins in New Guinea around 7000 B.C. to its use in the 21st century to produce ethanol.

| Summary/Abstract |
John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson that the 'real revolution' took plae in the minds of the people, not just a few select leaders. Following this idea, the author relates American independence with war elephants charging at a crumbling fort in India and even the high stakes of gamblers in Scotland.
Provides a thought-provoking account and a new perspective on how America came into being and is packed with dramatic events and battle scenes, archival prints, engravings, maps and portraits.
