Originally published in 1974, this study offers valuable
perspectives on the status and roles of women in Stuart England and
in the newly settled colonies of North America, particularly
Massachusetts and Virginia. Incorporating both new research on the
subject, and the findings of other scholars on demographic and
social history, the author examines the effects of sex ratios,
economic opportunities, Puritanism and frontier conditions on the
emancipation of American women in comparison with their English
counterparts. He discusses the effects of these major differences
on women's roles in courtship, marriage and the family,
educational, legal and civic opportunities. In the final chapter,
he compares the moral climate of the two cultures in the latter
part of the seventeenth century.

Mining haul roads are a critical component of surface mining
infrastructure and the performance of these roads has a direct
impact on operational efficiency, costs and safety. A significant
proportion of a mine's cost is associated with material haulage and
well-designed and managed roads contribute directly to reductions
in cycle times, fuel burn, tyre costs and overall cost per tonne
hauled and critically, underpin a safe transport system. The first
comprehensive treatise on mining haul road design, construction,
operation and management, Mining Haul Roads - Theory and Practice
presents an authoritative compendium of worldwide experience and
state-of-the-art practices developed and applied over the last 25
years by the three authors, over three continents and many of the
world's leading surface mining operations. In this book, the
authors: Introduce the four design components of an integrated
design methodology for mining haul roads - geometric (including
drainage), structural, functional and maintenance management
Illustrate how mine planning constraints inform road design
requirements Develop the analytical framework for each of the
design components from their theoretical basis, and using typical
mine-site applications, illustrate how site-specific design
guidelines are developed, together with their practical
implementation Summarise the key road safety and geometric design
considerations specific to mining haul roads Specify the
mechanistic structural design approach unique to ultra-heavy wheel
loading associated with OTR mine trucks Describe the selection,
application and management of the road wearing course material,
together with its rehabilitation, including the use of palliatives
Develop road and operating cost models for estimating total
road-user costs, based on road rolling resistance measurement and
modelling techniques Illustrate the approach of costing a mining
road construction project based on the design methodologies
previously introduced List and describe future trends in mine
haulage system development, how mining haul road design will evolve
to meet these new system challenges and how the increasing
availability of data is used to manage road performance and
ultimately provide 24x7 trafficability. Mining Haul Roads - Theory
and Practice is a complete practical reference for mining
operations, contractors and mine planners alike, as well as civil
engineering practitioners and consulting engineers. It will also be
invaluable in other fields of transportation infrastructure
provision and for those seeking to learn and apply the
state-of-the-art in mining haul roads. "This book is the most
definitive treatise on mining haul roads ever written [...] There
has never been a text that addresses the many facets of mining haul
roads on such a scope [...]" From the Foreword by Jim Humphrey,
Professional Engineer, Autonomous haulage systems developer and
Distinguished Member of the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and
Exploration.

In this radical reinterpretation, Mr. Thompson argues that
Melville, seeking to disguise his agonized conviction of the
cruelty and malice of God, consistently satirized Christian
doctrine. He endeavors to show that Melville resorted to literary
deceptions that could simultaneously hoodwink and satirize the
point of view of his orthodox readers. This bold challenge to the
conventional interpretation of Melville is brilliantly presented
and fully supported by external and internal evidence in such a way
as to reveal a sinister intent in all of the major narratives from
Typee through Billy Budd. Originally published in 1952. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Established in 1630, Watertown was among the original six towns of
Massachusetts. Its early history was marked by frequent disputes, a
penchant for questioning authority, and an atmosphere of tension
and discord. In recounting the story of Watertown's formative
years, Roger Thompson examines how the community managed to avoid
descending into anarchy. He also explores the ways in which English
settlers preserved their habits of behavior in a new-world
environment, even as they were obliged to innovate and embrace
change. Thompson describes Watertown's early government, its
relations with Native Americans and neighboring communities, its
religious and economic affairs, and the day-to-day experiences of
its people. Conflict occurred over a wide variety of issues: land
allocation, administrative accountability, religious orthodoxy and
exclusivity, generational and gender differences, livestock and
fencing, haves and have-nots. Thompson brings these disputes to
life through a series of vivid case studies drawn from the
unpublished Middlesex County Court Records. Among others, we meet
John Sawin, who despite his best efforts at subterfuge was
convicted of stealing and selling a neighbor's horse; Susanna
Woodward, whose pregnancy resulted in a fiercely contested
paternity case; and Edward Sanders, whose punishment for child
abuse was both a whipping and a ruling that when in public he must
"wear a rope round his neck openly to be seen hanging down two
feet." Throughout the book, the same themes reappear: continuity
and change, the persistent conflicts of the first two generations,
and the countervailing forces of communal cohesion.
