This book discusses a number of important themes in comparative
law: legal metaphors and methodology, the movements of legal ideas
and institutions and the mixity they produce, and marriage, an area
of law in which culture - or clashes of legal and public cultures -
may be particularly evident. In a mix of methodological and
empirical investigations divided by these themes, the work offers
expanded analyses and a unique cross-section of materials that is
on the cutting edge of comparative law scholarship. It presents an
innovative approach to legal pluralism, the study of mixed
jurisdictions, and language and the law, with the use of metaphors
not as an illustration but as a core element of comparative
methodology.
While Irish historical writing has long been in thrall to the
perceived sectarian character of the legal system, this collection
is the first to concentrate attention on the actual relationship
that existed between the Irish population and the state under which
they lived from the War of the Two Kings (1689-1691) to the Great
Famine (1845-1849). Particular attention is paid to an
understanding of the legal character of the state and the reach of
the rule of law, with contributors addressing such themes as: how
law was made and put into effect; how ordinary people experienced
the law and social regulations; how Catholics related to the legal
institutions of the Protestant confessional state; and how popular
notions of legitimacy were developed. These themes contribute to a
wider understanding of the nature of the state in the long
eighteenth century and will therefore help to situate the study of
Irish society into the mainstream of English and European social
history.
Debates surrounding the concept of law are not new. For a wide
variety of reasons and in a wide variety of ways, the meaning of
'law' has long been an important part of Western thought, both
within legal scholarship and beyond. The contributors to Concepts
of Law are international experts from the fields of comparative
law, legal philosophy, and the social sciences. Combining
theoretical analyses with case studies, they explore various legal
concepts and contexts from diverse national and disciplinary
perspectives. Legal and normative pluralism is a theme throughout.
Some chapters discuss the development of state law and legal
systems. Others wrestle with law's rhetoric and the potential
utility of alternative vocabularies, e.g., 'governance' and
'governmentality'. Others reveal the rich polyjurality of the
present, from the local to the global. The result is a rich picture
of both present scholarship on laws and norms and the state of
contemporary legal complexity, each crossing traditional
boundaries.
Professional horseman Sean Patrick's now legendary Countdown is the
most clear, thorough, "doable" system of horse training available.
Quite simply, you begin at Lesson Number 33 and count your way down
through the basic exercises-the "primary education"-every horse
needs. And when you get to Lesson 1, you've done it; you've
prepared your horse for advanced work in any number of equestrian
disciplines. You can't get lost along the way. There's no room for
confusion. The happy result? Sean trains you to be a trainer.
Whether your horse is a foal or five, green or educated,
well-started or lacking fundamentals, he will benefit from the
Countdown-a true "foundation" program, serving to prepare him for
the endless variety of activities and "jobs" horses perform today.
From indispensable handling, "sacking-out," and tying exercises, to
how you, the rider, can control the different parts of the horse's
body from the ground and the saddle; from mounting on both the left
and the right to performing flawless flying lead changes, you'll be
amazed at how effective and efficient this program is. In this book
you'll find: - Explanations of the "conditioned response," the Five
Control Points, and how to recognize and use a "give." - Advice for
building the horse's confidence, knowing when to "push" but most
importantly, how to be fair. - Lessons in conscientious use of the
round pen for teaching movement, turning, and inviting the horse
in. - Progressive steps for preparing for first rides and having
them be successes. - Tips for developing the back-up, "whoa," and
seat stops without stress. - Exercises for achieving a correct and
soft collection. Because you are the one teaching your horse, you
also have the opportunity to build your own skill set. Sean
promises that by the end of the Countdown, readers will have a
deeper understanding of how horses learn; an improved ability to
gauge the pressure necessary to communicate with the horse and pace
teaching accordingly; a capacity for recognizing behaviors (both
good and bad); and an intuitive understanding of the root of a
problem and the steps to take to work on it. In essence, he helps
you become self-sufficient and ready to take your horse that next
step, whether along the rail, down the trail, or into the show pen.

The emergence of coal-based fuel economy over the course of the
nineteenth century was one of the most significant features of
America's Industrial Revolution, but the transition from wood to
mineral energy sources was a gradual one that transpired over a
number of decades. The documents in these volumes recreate the
institutional history of the American coal industry in the
nineteenth century - providing a first-hand perspective on the
developments in regard to political economy, business structure and
competition, the rise of formal trade unions, and the creation of a
national coal trade. Although the collection strives to be
wide-ranging in region and theme, the Pennsylvania anthracite coal
trade forms the thematic backbone as it became the most important
American mineral resource to see successful development throughout
the nineteenth century. Consequently it saw unprecedented levels of
intervention by the federal government. The texts for this
collection were selected for their accessibility to modern readers
as well as their relationship to a series of common themes across
the nineteenth century American coal industry - with headnotes and
annotations provided to explain their context and the reasons for
their inclusion. The second volume, following on from the first,
traces the continuation of the anthracite boom and also introduces
new concerns for the coal industry. Overall the period from
1835-1875 saw the American coal trade expand from a hit-or-miss
business dominated by risk-taking proprietary firms to a
well-funded industry that employed the resources of state
governments, large mining corporations and powerful railroads in
order to keep a steady stream of mineral fuel flowing to the
growing industrial and commercial heating markets of the United
States. The transformation generated many conflicts - which are
illustrated by the documents in this volume.

in this set traces the three decades following the American Civil
War, during which time the use of coal for manufacturing,
locomotives and domestic heating helped build a dynamic industrial
economy in the United States. Mineral fuel growth powered the
growth of the nation and by 1885 coal became the single most
important source of American energy. Coal mining spread to nearly
every corner of the nation in the half-century following the civil
war. By the time of the Great Anthracite Strike in 1902, the
American coal industry was a truly national phenomenon. The rise of
large and well-funded mining and railroad corporations, the
national unions, and the inroads by state governments into mine
safety all suggest a significant reshaping had occurred.

1790-1835, the selected documents seek to reconcile the optimism
surrounding the early American coal industry with the difficulties
in actually realising its growth. It presents voices that capture
the optimism and frustration of the Rhode Island and Virginia
colliers, before focusing on the rise of Pennsylvania's anthracite
region - tracing the false-starts and ideological hostility that
accompanied the early coal trade.

sludge of the South China Sea? What heroes would rise and forever
change the course of history? Tread into the deepest and darkest
dimensions of the multiverse, gaze through a kaleidoscope of
fractured realities, and bear witness to the disturbing visions of
World War III from today's greatest minds in science fiction,
fantasy, and horror. Stories by: Larry Correia, Steve Diamond,

This work applies Jacques Derrida's framework of "spectropolitics"
to (post)coloniality in order to investigate the emergence of
indigenous peoples' movements, advances a poststructural approach
to the analysis of liberal politics based upon the historical
sociology of Michel Foucault, and critically engages the
literatures on ethnic politics, critical legal studies, and
multicultural democracy. In addition, two historical case dossiers
(the Mabo v. Queensland decision and its aftermath in Australia;
and the diverse legal strategies of First Nations activism in
Canada following the Delgamuukw v. B.C. decision) focus on the
"strategic space" in which new indigenous political identities are
produced and performed.

Would-be ballerina Sara (Julia Stiles) is forced to abandon her
dancing plans when she leaves her smalltown home and moves to live
with her estranged father in the dangerous South Side of Chicago.
As a white girl in a predominantly black neighbourhood, Sara finds
it a struggle to settle in, but when she meets black fellow-dancer
Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas), she begins to feel much happier. The
two set out together to realise their dreams, but as their
relationship develops it brings forth major opposition from both
their friends and their families, putting their future as a couple
in jeopardy.
Impeachment of witnesses is "an alien, mystifying and obtuse area
of the law" write the authors of MacCarthy on Impeachment. While
there are many books on evidence and trial advocacy, there is very
little written specifically on the law of impeachment. Generally,
impeachment law is found in the law of evidence, however, it
frequently involves different applications of the law of
evidencewhich can be confusing. In MacCarthy on Impeachment, 16
methods of impeachment are discussed: inconsistent statements;
contradictions; motivation; truthfulness; convictions; what the
witness could of done, but did not; capacity; bad acts, crimes, and
wrongs; habit, writing used to refresh memory; an opposing party's
statement; the hearsay defendant; character witnesses; and certain
evidence of sexual behavior by the alleged victim of the defendant.
And for expert witnesses only, two methods of impeachment:
qualifications and curriculum vitae and learned treatises. From the
author of the legal classic, MacCarthy on Cross Examination,
MacCarthy on Impeachment is a groundbreaking work that will become
an indispensable resource for trial attorneys seeking to improve
their skills and better serve their clients.
