imperial expansion

They cover a range from the late 19th century (for example 1867–71 and treaty-port eras up to 1900) through multiple 20th-century periods, including the 1920s and the 1940s–1960s.

Several examine technological and scientific dimensions — for example, one analyzes radio use for censorship and propaganda, while others trace the diffusion of scientific and environmental research from colonial settings to Britain and the US.

These are academic titles intended for adult or university-level readers; most listings indicate a suggested readership of around 22 years and up.

They intersect political science, multiple strands of history, and architectural studies.

Search results also include game expansions, for example a character miniatures expansion and a board-game expansion that adds factions, home worlds, tiles, and new dice mechanics.

Several books focus on individuals and networks — for example, how consular wives forged and sustained presence in treaty-port China and how local encounters and networks shaped imperial identity.
