The classical utilitarian legacy of Jeremy Bentham, J. S. Mill,
James Mill, and Henry Sidgwick has often been charged with both
theoretical and practical complicity in the growth of British
imperialism and the emerging racialist discourse of the nineteenth
century. But there has been little scholarly work devoted to
bringing together the conflicting interpretive perspectives on this
legacy and its complex evolution with respect to orientalism and
imperialism. This volume, with contributions by leading scholars in
the field, represents the first attempt to survey the full range of
current scholarly controversy on how the classical utilitarians
conceived of 'race' and the part it played in their ethical and
political programs, particularly with respect to such issues as
slavery and the governance of India. The book both advances our
understanding of the history of utilitarianism and imperialism and
promotes the scholarly debate, clarifying the major points at issue
between those sympathetic to the utilitarian legacy and those
critical of it.

Whether you are thinking of buying your first firearm or purchasing
a new one, buying a firearm as part of your disaster preparedness
plan just really makes good sense right now. If it is your goal is
to protect your family, to provide food for your family, or perhaps
both, a firearm can be an incredible addition to your disaster
preparedness cache. But you do need to understand what it means to
be a firearm owner, to evaluate which firearm might be right for
you, and be aware of other important factors, such as the law and
safety concerns, before you make your purchase. Owning a firearm is
a huge responsibility, and you are taking the right steps by
educating yourself first about the issues to consider. There are
federal, state and local laws that apply. Depending on where you
live and what firearm you purchase, you may have to acquire a
permit. Use this book as a resource guide to help you decide on
your next purchase, and learn how to responsibly care for, train
with, and, most importantly, secure your firearm when not in use.
Whether used for protection or for replenishing your food supply to
keep your family alive and healthy, a firearm is an invaluable tool
that can mean the difference between surviving and thriving in
times of disaster. Firearms are an important part of a preparedness
plan and should be safely integrated into the preparedness
lifestyle. Here are some areas that will be covered in the book:
