Law and Society in England 1750-1950

By: William Cornish,Stephen Banks,Charles Mitchell,Paul Mitchell,Rebecca Probert

Law and Society in England 1750–1950 is an indispensable text for those wishing to study English legal history and to understand the foundations of the modern British state. In this new updated edition the authors explore the complex relationship between legal and social change. They consider the ways in which those in power themselves imagined and initiated reform and the ways in which they were obliged to respond to demands for change from outside the legal and political classes. What emerges is a lively and critical account of the evolution of modern rights and expectations, and an engaging study of the formation of contemporary social, administrative and legal institutions and ideas, and the road that was travelled to create them. The book is divided into eight chapters: Institutions and Ideas; Land; Commerce and Industry; Labour Relations; The Family; Poverty and Education; Accidents; and Crime. This extensively referenced analysis of modern social and legal history will be invaluable to students and teachers of English law, political science, and social history.

The Phonological Enterprise

By: Mark Hale,Charles Reiss

This book scrutinizes recent work in phonological theory from the perspective of Chomskyan generative linguistics and argues that progress in the field depends on taking seriously the idea that phonology is best studied as a mental computational system derived from an innate base, phonological Universal Grammar. Two simple problems of phonological analysis provide a frame for a variety of topics throughout the book. The competence-performance distinction and markedness theory are both addressed in some detail, especially with reference to phonological acquisition. Several aspects of Optimality Theory, including the use of Output-Output Correspondence, functionalist argumentation and dependence on typological justification are critiqued. The authors draw on their expertise in historical linguistics to argue that diachronic evidence is often mis-used to bolster phonological arguments, and they present a vision of the proper use of such evidence. Issues of general interest for cognitive scientists, such as whether categories are discrete and whether mental computation is probabilistic are also addressed. The book ends with concrete proposals to guide future phonological research. The breadth and depth of the discussion, ranging from details of current analyses to the philosophical underpinnings of linguistic science, is presented in a direct style with as little recourse to technical language as possible.

Swordmen of Vistar

By: Charles Nuetzel

A tale of heroism and high adventure in the grand tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard! Cast into the ocean by wind gods, Thoris of Rota and Illa, Princess of Haldolen, start out on an adventure that takes them to the Island of the Man-eaters and ultimately into the clutches of the Swordmen of Vistar. There, they must fight alongside the wizard Xalla and his daughter in an effort to gain their freedom and a chance to return to their homeland. Thoris will taunt death, magic, and the dangers of the Swordmen's domain to protect his beautiful princess! In this edition of Swordmen of Vistar, Mr. Nuetzel has added a previously unpublished epilog. In doing so, the saga of Thoris of 30,000 B.C. comes to its final conclusion.
