Ward argues that the Dutch East India Company empire manifested itself through multiple networks that amalgamated spatially and over time into an imperial web whose sovereignty was effectively created and maintained but always partial and contingent. Networks of Empire proposes that early modern empires were comprised of durable networks of trade, administration, settlement, legality, and migration whose regional circuits and territorially and institutionally based nodes of regulatory power operated not only on land and sea but discursively as well. Rights of sovereignty were granted to the Company by the States General in the United Provinces. Company directors in Europe administered the exercise of sovereignty by Company servants in its chartered domain. The empire developed in dynamic response to challenges waged by individuals and other sovereign entities operating within the Indian Ocean grid. By closely examining the Dutch East India Company's network of forced migration this book explains how empires are constituted through the creation, management, contestation, devolution and reconstruction of these multiple and intersecting fields of partial sovereignty.

Card of the Day Tarot: Quick and Easy One-Card Tarot Readings For Love, Work, and Everyday Life

Many people are curious about tarot but feel overwhelmed by learning the meanings of 78 cards. In this cutting-edge book, tarot expert Kerry Ward deciphers nine key cards from the major arcana, to give you the most insightful readings possible.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Each of the nine tarot 'cards' in the book features a guide card that tackles a certain theme. For instance, the Hermit can be used to get to grips with self-enlightenment. The Hermit sits in a cave, which is illuminated by a glowing lantern revealing glittering obsidian crystal-hewed walls, a dark, deep pool at the back of the cave which echoes with running water trickling down somewhere deeper into the mountain. The Hermit's cloak and staff lie at his feet. Once you have read the text and studied the card, the aim is that you pick an object featured on the card illustration that best chimes with you, then turn to the page featuring the object for a deeper reading. On the Hermit card, is it the cloak, or perhaps the deep pool? Or maybe the glowing lantern that has caught your eye?&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The book is an excellent tool for personal guidance and self-development, and is the perfect introduction to tarot for anyone who is curious to learn more.
