Sinossi

Asteroid Impact explores the Earth-shattering event that led to the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, forever altering life on our planet. This book examines the geological and paleontological evidence surrounding the asteroid impact that occurred roughly 66 million years ago. The book highlights how the discovery of iridium anomalies and shocked quartz were initial key pieces of evidence that supported the asteroid impact theory. It also shows how this single event drastically altered the environment, leading to widespread species extinction and influencing the course of evolution.

 
The book progresses by first establishing a historical context, followed by an examination of physical evidence, including the Chicxulub crater and impact debris. It then synthesizes data from various scientific disciplines, such as Earth sciences and planetary science, to provide a comprehensive overview. The book explains how the Chicxulub impact served as the primary catalyst for the extinction event, causing long-lasting changes in Earth's biodiversity and geological structures.

Slavery and the Law: The History...

Editors Charles River

Ultimately, while the institution of slavery existed, the principle of protecting individual property rights prevailed, alongside a necessary acknowledgment that slaves were property first and sentient human beings second. It also required a great deal of careful drafting and verbal contortions to construct the Constitution for the young republic that supported those principles of freedom and equality while at the same time facilitating the perpetuation of the “peculiar institution.” 
	It was not until 1865, with the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment, the instrument that abolished slavery, that any overt mention of slavery found its way into the Constitution. Before that, direct reference was always carefully avoided, although, at the same time, unmistakably alluded to. The document is filled with provisions specific to slavery, protecting and codifying it on a federal level, without anywhere making direct or overt mention of it. By 1788, when the Constitution of the United States was formally adopted, slavery had been a fact of life in the colonies for 169 years, since the first recorded arrival of black Africans in Virginia in 1619. At that time, around the institution, had evolved a system of laws that were derived in the main from English common law. The irony here is that the regime of English common law was at its root hostile to the principle of human bondage, had no tradition of slavery to call upon, and was desirous on the whole to avoid making any overt judgment or pronouncement on the matter. It, therefore, fell to colonial lawmakers to resolve that essential contradiction between treating Africans as either people or property or both. This tension remained in play throughout the era of slavery in English-speaking America until the matter was finally resolved by the outcome of the American Civil War.
