Description:
Chicago: Laird & Lee Publishers, 1890. Translated from the 52nd French Edition. Hardcover. pp. 283, [6]. 12mo., measuring 7.25" x 5". Plain black, pebbled cloth over boards. Black-and-white illustrated frontispiece depicting a scene from the novel. Remarkably well-preserved in consideration of its age, the extremities show only a very light touch of edgewear to the tips, pages lightly age-toned but remain entirely without blemish. Overall, very good+. Scarce in commerce, our offering being the only extant copy at time of cataloguing of this iteration. Originally published in French as, "La Faute de l'Abbé Mouret", in 1875, our offering is a particularly early American printing of this, the fifth volume, in Zola's twenty-volume series commonly known as "Les Rougon-Macquart" or "Histoire naturelle et sociale d'une famille sous le Second Empire". This English translation was most likely based upon Vizetelly & Co.'s 1886 printing (the translator remains unknown, See OCLC Ciration #1536033).

This book discusses the need for professionals working in forestry and conservation to understand the context of Aboriginal participation in resource management. It also addresses the importance of considering traditional knowledge and traditional land use and examines the development of co-management initiatives and joint ventures between government, forestry companies, and Aboriginal communities."

The court also declared the statute in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and thus unconstitutional.

"One of the darkest events in Canadian history is replete with the drama of war, politics and untold human suffering. Starting in 1755, 10,000 people of French ancestry were expelled from their homes along Canada's east coast by a tyrannical British governor with the complicity of American sympathizers. While some Acadians returned home to try to evade capture and forge a living, others made their way to the Spanish colony of Louisiana, where they farmed and fished and began the vibrant "Cajun" culture that is renowned around the world. Award-winning author Dean Jobb has written a dramatic and compelling account of "Le grand derangement" -- the event that was immortalized in Longfellow's famous poem "Evangeline." Jobb brings a cast of characters to life so vividly that the reader is immediately captured by their stories. The richness of… Read More
