The State lease in Queensland is a unique creature. In the hands of Public Land Administrators it is an influential land management tool. To the casual observer it is not all that different to a lease as commonly understood. But appearances can be deceiving. In recent times the State Lease has been examined in the context of native title, most notably in the decision of the High Court in Wik Peoples v Queensland (1996) 187 CLR 1. Its importance in Queensland, however, goes beyond that. This book examines the origins of the State lease and explains its significant role in terms of land management policy and the land tenure system in Queensland. As well, comparisons are made with general law leases thus giving the reader a highly practical understanding of the ways in which rights given by State leases operate and are to be interpreted. Importantly, the reader will gain an insight into the distinct legal problems that State leases give rise to. This book is written for those who deal with or who are interested in the law relating to State leases, including lawyers, governments and academics. Although the text is limited to a consideration of State leases in Queensland, the book will also be of use to those who deal with State leases in other Australian jurisdictions.

Stroll into Mantorville, and you get the sense that it is a place where you could comfortably live forever. Ghosts seem to feel the same way, and this excursion into the stories of their activity keeps pace with the feverish bustle buried in the towns heritage. From ruined breweries to opera house mummies, Christopher Larsen takes the measure of one of Minnesotas most historic and haunted places. The tale of his investigations might not rob Mantorville of its charm, but when you walk into a gift shop that was once a funeral parlor, you might be a little more susceptible to a shiver.
Christopher Morley (1890-1957) was an American journalist, novelist, essayist and poet. He went to New College, Oxford University for three years on a Rhodes Scholarship, studying modern history. He moved to Philadelphia where he got his start as a newspaper reporter and then columnist for various publications. In 1920, he returned to New York City and took a job writing the column The Bowling Green for the New York Evening Post. He was one of the founders and long-time contributing editor of the Saturday Review of Literature. Out of enthusiasm for the Sherlock Holmes stories, he became the founder of the Baker Street Irregulars and wrote the introduction to the standard omnibus edition of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Author of more than 100 books of essays, poetry, and novels, he is probably best known as the author of Kitty Foyle (1939), which was made into an Academy Award-winning movie. His works include Parnassus on Wheels (1917), Shandygaff (1918), The Haunted Bookshop (1919), Where the Blue Begins (1922), Thunder on the Left (1925), The Trojan Horse (1937), and The Old Mandarin (1947).

Let's have a parade" is the phrase that begins a beloved American tradition, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 1924, employees of the R. H. Macy and Company store in Herald Square, many of whom were immigrants and first-generation Americans, chose to give thanks for their good fortune in a manner reminiscent of the festive parades held in their native countries. The excitement and praise from crowds lining the route that first year led Macy's to issue an immediate proclamation: the parade would become a tradition. Before the parade's first decade passed, Macy's welcomed the huge and spectacular helium character balloons that became its goodwill ambassadors. Since then, the parade has become a world-famous treasure. Through rare and historic images, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade offers readers a chance to reminisce, explore, and delight in eighty years of this thoroughly American celebration.
