“History”
Maybe these books werewritten by “professors” or published by a “university”. I would have included a second shot so you can see which “historians” made this category, but the salesgirl told me I wasn’t allowed to take pictures since the store had paid to have the sign designed. True story.

As long as their copyright “lawyers” don’t come and sue me.

Maybe the store is just acknowledging that there is no such thing as history [in a US context]

You do know that North America didn’t just pop into existence when the British arrived, don’t you?

Yes, of course. Long before the British arrived. It was invented by the Vikings, but they didn’t seem to think much of it as they went back home.
