British Library Robertson, Janet; 1851. 8 . 10105.d.20.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection
reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a
vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal
field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William
Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as
almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the
day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from

Since the Pikes Peak gold rush in the mid-nineteenth century, women
have gone into the mountains of Colorado to hike, climb, ski,
homestead, botanize, act as guides, practice medicine, and meet a
variety of other challenges, whether for sport or for livelihood.
Janet Robertson recounts their exploits in a lively,
well-illustrated book that measures up to its title, "The
Magnificent Mountain Women." Arlene Blum provides a new
introduction to this edition.
A hike for everyone! Enjoy parts or all of the 469-mile trail
through 7 national forests, 6 wilderness areas, 5 major river
systems, and 8 mountain ranges. It runs from outside of Denver to
Durango in south-western Colorado.
Social workers and allied professionals will find this book to be a
valuable tool, highlighting ways of improving the cultural
sensitivity of disability services and parental and family support.
Combining a wide-ranging survey and in-depth interviews, the
authors build a rich picture of the lives of South Asian families
with a child with severe disabilities and place their experiences
in the wider context of how culture and ethnicity can impact on a
family's experience of disability. The authors offer clear ideas
for practical improvements in: * awareness and mobilisation of
formal support services * parental and extended family acceptance
of the child's disability * availability of support groups and
other informal support * parents' physical and mental health * the
child and family's social life linking their findings to recent
policy initiatives to improve the information and support offered
to all carers. Policy makers, academics and practitioners in
health, social work and education will find the authors give an
invaluable insight into the cultural, religious and language needs
of ethnic minority families coping with disability.
