Описание: The US Constitutions, both of 1788 and 1791, contain at Article IV (para 2, Section 3) a clause generally called 'The Fugitive Slave Clause'. This Clause was held to make it legal to both recapture and return 'fugitive slaves' to the states where they had lived or the 'owner', even if he or she resisted. The Clause was held to be constitutionally legal by many legal commentators (as well as Quakers, Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln) despite their considering the clause malign. Norman Coles presents arguments which show that the Clause has at least two (and possibly three) meanings. The Clause may not refer to slaves at all, when it is interpreted in accord with its actual phrasing rather than its intended meaning promoting the wishes of 'owners'. Alvan Stewart, a renowned Abolitionist lawyer, argued that the Clause was inconsistent with that part of the 1791 US Constitution which is Amendment IV, reasoning premised on the definition of 'person', which applied to the two dated Constitutions; and with regard to the Fourth Amendment (1791) where slavery (unless a result of crime and jury trial) was illegal under US law. Stewart's arguments are about Constitutional principles, not the practical consequences of believing the Clause was law. Stewart's reasoning is penetrating; arguments relating to ambiguity and legal jargon are superseded by the logical consequence of the fact that if the Clause is about fugitive slaves, its legality rests on false assumptions. Herein lay the potential to avoid a historical tragedy. In the course of time legal and political champions, in conjunction with a growing number of US States, favoured laws which barred slave-hunting, but in the interim legal inadequacy resulted in the unnecessary continuation of slave-holding. This publication is a fundamental reconsideration of the intertwining of American History and American Constitutional Law.

February in Newfoundland is the longest month of the year.
Another blizzard is threatening to tear a strip off downtown St. John's, while inside The Hazel restaurant a storm system of sex, betrayal, addiction, and hurt is breaking overhead. Iris, a young hostess from around the bay, is forced to pull a double despite resolving to avoid the charming chef and his wealthy restaurateur wife. Just tables over, Damian, a hungover and self-loathing server, is trying to navigate a potential punch-up with a pair of lit customers who remain oblivious to the rising temperature in the dining room. Meanwhile Olive, a young woman far from her northern home, watches it all unfurl from the fast and frozen street. Through rolling blackouts, we glimpse the truth behind the shroud of scathing lies and unrelenting abuse, and discover that resilience proves most enduring in the dead of this winter's tale.
By turns biting, funny, poetic, and heartbreaking, Megan Gail Coles' debut novel rips into the inner lives of a wicked cast of characters, building towards a climax that will shred perceptions and force a reckoning. This is blistering Newfoundland Gothic for the twenty-first century, a wholly original, bracing, and timely portrait of a place in the throes of enormous change, where two women confront the traumas of their past in an attempt to overcome the present and to pick up a future.

Since its publication over fifty years ago, Heavy Weather Sailing has remained the classic of navigating and surviving storms at sea. It is unique in its focus on the lessons learned by seasoned sailors in heavy weather conditions. Nowhere else will you find an opportunity like this to learn from the hard-won experience of others what works and what doesn't in surviving a storm at sea. The stories and their analyses are further augmented by advice- on boat stability and seaworthiness, spars and rigging, heavy-weather preparations and tactics, the use of drogues and sea anchors, meteorology and sea-state predictions, crew fitness for heavy weather, and more. You'll find well-proven methods for surviving bad weather at sea in powerboats and multihulls as well as monohull sailboats. This advice from leading seafarers has been compiled and edited by Peter Bruce, one of the world's most experienced sailors, who has assumed the book's editing from the late Adlard Coles. This edition is completely up to date with changes in sailboat design and gear and with the latest storm-sailing experience. You will find new chapters on seeking shelter in heavy weather, storm sails, helming a rigid inflatable in rough weather, and handling multihulls in a storm. Several new accounts describe unexpected and extraordinarily severe weather on the world's oceans, including a storm experienced by renowned sailing couple Lin and Larry Pardey off the east coast of Australia and another endured in the South Atlantic by Alex Whitworth during his remarkable circumnavigation. Heavy Weather Sailing has long reigned as the ultimate authority on surviving storms at sea for crews of any size, whether racing or cruising. If ever there was a definitive book on the subject, this is it.
