Summary

"Anglo Law Roots" explores the fascinating genesis of English common law, a legal system that has profoundly influenced societies worldwide. It traces the evolution from rudimentary Anglo-Saxon customs to the landmark implementation of Magna Carta, revealing how historical forces shaped the principles of justice and governance we know today.

 
Did you know that Anglo-Saxon law relied heavily on oral tradition and local customs, a stark contrast to the formalized legal procedures introduced by the Normans? The book particularly emphasizes the enduring impact of Magna Carta, a pivotal document that limited royal power and championed individual liberties.

 
The book meticulously examines key historical periods, starting with Anglo-Saxon legal customs, progressing through the transformative Norman Conquest, and culminating in an in-depth analysis of Magna Carta. By examining primary sources and legal commentaries, "Anglo Law Roots" provides a balanced understanding of the interplay between customary practices, royal decrees, and societal demands. This approach offers valuable insights into the origins of concepts like due process and the rule of law, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in legal history, political science, and the foundations of modern legal systems.

    “The Broken Path: Native Tribes and the Tragedy of the Trail of Tears” delves into one of the darkest chapters in American history, documenting the harrowing experiences of Southeastern Native American tribes during the forced relocations known as the Trail of Tears. This book offers a poignant exploration of the devastating consequences of U.S. government policies that sought to remove Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands. Through the lens of selected tribes, whose fates, though varied, were marked by equal suffering, the narrative reveals the inhumane reality of manifest destiny.  
    This doctrine drove the relentless expansion of white settlers across the continent. Despite efforts by Native Americans to resist through legal battles and armed conflict, their struggle was tragically futile against the overwhelming forces of displacement. This powerful account underscores the enduring impact of this tragic era on the Indigenous populations of America.

    North America was not empty nor were its inhabitants savages when Europeans arrived in 1492. Quite the opposite, North America was thickly populated by indigenous people who lived in clean cities, had a thriving economy, and transformed the landscape into bountiful productivity. Forgotten Landscapes reveals the incredible extent to which Native Americans manipulated and shaped their surrounding environs through agricultural practices and urban engineering, resulting in one of the most prosperous civilizations of their time.Well before European contact, North American cities and villages were bound together by an intricate trade network. Today, Spiro Mound in rural Oklahoma is a few piles of dirt, not on the road to anywhere. But at the time of the Mississippian civilization, about a thousand years ago, it was one of the largest cities in the world. With the controlled use of fire, Native Americans had transformed thick forests into open woodlands and expanded the ranges of prairies. Through organized hunting, Natives controlled the populations of prey animals such as passenger pigeons, and when Native populations grew large enough, they developed agriculture including irrigated crops, and even orchards. In this fascinating and overdue book, author Stanley A. Rice shows his audience the Pre-Columbian landscape of America that has been largely forgotten.
