The Wisconsin Pine Lands of Cornell University: A Study in Land Policy and Absentee Ownership
ISBN: 9780801477638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A provision of the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 allowed Cornell University to acquire 500,000 acres of valuable timberland in northern Wisconsin.

While the university was guarding its rights as a trustee of this estate, dealing with the supervisors and tax collectors of several counties, and negotiating with lumbermen, it did not escape criticism for its role as an absentee landlord. As Paul Wallace Gates details in The Wisconsin...

Capital and Corporal Punishment in Anglo-Saxon England
ISBN: 9781843839187 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Anglo-Saxon authorities often punished lawbreakers with harsh corporal penalties, such as execution, mutilation and imprisonment. Despite their severity, however, these penalties were not arbitrary exercises of power. Rather, they were informed by nuanced philosophies of punishment which sought to resolve conflict, keep the peace and enforce Christian morality.

Contributors trouble simple definitions of identity and period, exploring how medieval authors looked to earlier periods of history to define social identities and...
