Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

Product Description
New Faces of the Fur Trade is a collection of fifteen essaysselected from the Seventh North American Fur Trade Conference held inHalifax, Nova Scotia, in 1995.These articles question thetraditional focus of fur trade literature and suggest that there arericher, more diverse narratives to be constructed and new ways to lookat the fur trade.Many focus on subjects and themes that either havebeen formerly overlooked or have been introduced and then neglected.Fur trade studies have been criticized for remaining outside thecurrent mainstream of historiography, in particular for paying scantattention to the rich insights to be found in approaches adopted forthe fields of social and gender history.This volume redresses someof those omissions. ...

Fur Trade History is Flourishing!!
This book presents the latest scholarship on a wide variety of topics in the lively field of fur trade history. By making available many of the best papers presented at the Halifaxconference, this book brings to a broad audience the research of scholars young and old who have studied several important aspects of what may fairly be described as one of the fundamental themes in early North American history. Topics range from biographies to economic, social, and cultural history. This book demonstrates that the field is alive and well, and that fur trade history can certainly offer important materials for students and teachers of American or Canadian history. ... Read more

This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society.

coping well in an underrated field
Having been interested in the theory and application of coping with emotion in sport I found this publication excellent. Some chapters were a little theoretical. Of more interest to me were the chapters where authors spoke about applying these techniques in real life sporting scenarios. I found it very informative and the quality of most chapters was useful to my studies and my sporting experience. ... Read more
