Download or read book Inheritance Matters written by Suzanne Lenon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a compelling case for placing the social and legal practices of inheritance centre stage to make sense of fundamental questions of our time. Drawing on historical, literary, sociological, and legal analysis, this rich collection of original, interdisciplinary and international contributions demonstrates how inheritance is and has always been about far more than the set of legal processes for the distribution of wealth and property upon death. The contributions range from exploring the intractable tensions underlying family disputes and the legal and political debates about taxation, to revisiting literary plots in the past and presenting a contemporary artistic challenge of heirship. With an introduction that presents a critical mapping of the field of inheritance studies, this collection reveals the complexity of ideas about 'passing on', 'legacies', and 'heirlooms'; troubles some of the enduring consequences of 'charitable bequests', 'family money', and 'estate planning; and, deepens our understanding of the intimate and political practices of inheritance.
Download or read book Libertys Folly Polish Lithuan written by Jerzy Tadeusz Lukavski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the closing years of the 18th century, the old Polish state paid the price of over 100 years of ungovernability in political extinction. Between 1772 and 1795 an area of Eastern Europe larger than France was divided among Russia, Prussia and Austria. At the very time that monarchial absolutism seemed to be collapsing in Western Europe, the dismemberment of the Polish "noble democracy" affirmed absolutism's triumph in the East. Bringing together Polish scholarship previously inaccessible to English-speaking readers, the author examines the economy, the society and the institutional structure of early modern Poland and analyzes her loss of national sovereignty in the light of Poland's lack of political centralization and dynastic strength. Not only does this book illuminate a much neglected area of European history, and assist those trying to make sense of Poland's heritage, it also provides much comparative material for students of early modern history in general. Furthermore no reader could fail to be struck by the parallels in the problematic relationship between Poland and Russia in the 18th century and today.
Download or read book Liberty Inherited Commemorative Edition written by John H and published by . This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all familiar with the Boston Massacre, Bunker Hill, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. But what about The Glorious Revolution and the Declaration of Rights? Both of these events are just as much a part of American history as those listed above, yet the vast majority of Americans are completely unfamiliar with them and the impact they had on the formation of this nation (and the modern world). For it was The Glorious Revolution of 1688 that provided the moral justifications the colonists used in their struggle in 1776. Furthermore, it was The Declaration of Rights of 1689 that first guaranteed in writing the rights of all "freeborn Englishmen"; rights that are today taken for granted as being 'universal human rights. In fact, the Glorious Revolution and its aftermath were so profound that famed British historian David Starkey remarked that they invented "perhaps modernity itself." To commemorate the 325th anniversary of the Glorious Revolution, John Hancock is reconnecting Americans with this essential, yet forgotten, part of their history. The commemorative edition of his bestselling book Liberty Inherited details the world changing events that occurred in England in 1688 and 1689. Events that not only created modern England, but also made the American Revolution of 1776 possible. Thus ushering in a new form of government that would make Britain and the United States of America the predominate nations of the modern age. 30% New and Updated Material 2 Bonus Chapters Including: 1. A Summary View of the Rights of Englishmen in British America by Thomas Jefferson (1774) 2. The Rights of Englishmen by William Young (1793)

Download or read book Empire of Liberty written by Gordon S. Wood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, two New York Times bestsellers, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. Now, in the newest volume in the series, one of America's most esteemed historians, Gordon S. Wood, offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic, ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national government to the end of the War of 1812. As Wood reveals, the period was marked by tumultuous change in all aspects of American life--in politics, society, economy, and culture. The men who founded the new government had high hopes for the future, but few of their hopes and dreams worked out quite as they expected. They hated political parties but parties nonetheless emerged. Some wanted the United States to become a great fiscal-military state like those of Britain and France; others wanted the country to remain a rural agricultural state very different from the European states. Instead, by 1815 the United States became something neither group anticipated. Many leaders expected American culture to flourish and surpass that of Europe; instead it became popularized and vulgarized. The leaders also hope to see the end of slavery; instead, despite the release of many slaves and the end of slavery in the North, slavery was stronger in 1815 than it had been in 1789. Many wanted to avoid entanglements with Europe, but instead the country became involved in Europe's wars and ended up waging another war with the former mother country. Still, with a new generation emerging by 1815, most Americans were confident and optimistic about the future of their country. Named a New York Times Notable Book, Empire of Liberty offers a marvelous account of this pivotal era when America took its first unsteady steps as a new and rapidly expanding nation.
