Think about how many people's futures have been jeopardized by a
temporary lack of judgment. Presidents, congressmen and the guy
next door have all had to deal with mistakes from their past.
Drugs, pictures, money, and many other things can all catch up with
us. This book shows us just how easy life's mistakes are to make
and how we can watch out for them. Staying close to God and His
rules can give us a head start in being vigilant and watchful for
life's pitfalls.
Whale oil lit the cities and greased the machines of the Industrial
Revolution. In light of its importance, competition between whalers
was high. Far from courts and law enforcement, competing crews of
American whalers not known for their gentility and armed with
harpoons tended to resolve disputes at sea over ownership of
whales. Left to settle arguments on their own, whalemen created
norms and customs to decide ownership of whales pursued by multiple
crews. The Law of the Whale Hunt provides an innovative examination
of how property law was created in the absence of formal legal
institutions regulating the American whaling industry in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Using depositions, court
testimony, logbooks, and other previously unused primary sources,
Robert Deal tells an exciting story of American whalers hunting in
waters from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific and the Sea of
Okhotsk.
