1994LW-31Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1994. Scholarly text examines the two currently dominant traditions- neoconservative utilitarianism and liberal communitarianism- acknowledging the strengths of each and laying the groundwork for a theory to bridge the gap between them. By insisting that community norms must underlie any property regime she expands the horizons of property theory exploring the role of narrative and storytelling in the establishment of these norms. The result is a study that credits the insights of rival views and breaks new ground both substantively in its implications for understanding property and methodologically in its application of the study of narrative to property law. 317 pgs.

E.O. Un volume (12x18 cm) di 53 pagine (per errore l'ultima indicata 55). Brossura muta moderna. Prima edizione di questo raro opuscolo. Venne poi inserito nella raccolta del Custodi (Manca al Kress Italian). -“Se le sole campagne vengono indicate come produttrici e della ricchezza, proprio la conoscenza diretta e profonda della situazione locale detta all'A. accenti originali e osservazioni realistiche e pertinenti, in particolare per quei che riguarda la sua polemica contro la grande proprietà ed i suoi vincoli giuridici di maggiorascato o manomorta. Essa si estendeva allora nel Mantovano su oltre un terzo della superficie e proprio nelle zone più fertili: la concentrazione delle maggiori ricchezze del paese nelle mani di poche famiglie gli appare un ostacolo insuperabile per la circolazione del denaro e per gli investimenti di capitale capaci di promuovere l'economia agricola...” (Corrado Vivanti, DBI, 1961)

Minor Shadowing To Endpapers Otherwise Fine In Fine Dj. Signed By Ginsberg On The First Free Endpaper. Morris Ginsberg Fba 1889 - 1970 Was A British Sociologist Who Played A Key Role In The Development Of The Discipline. He Served As Editor Of The Sociological Review In The 1930S And Later Became The Founding Chairman Of The British Sociological Association In 1951 And Its First President 1955-1957. He Was President Of The Aristotelian Society From 1942 To 1943 And Helped Draft The Unesco 1950 Statement Titled The Race Question. In 1921 He Was Reappointed Assistant At The London School Of Economics And Full Lecturer In 1923. A Year Later He Was Appointed To The Readership In Sociology Being Supported By Recommendations From Bronislaw Malinowski And C.G. Seligman As Well As Dawes Hicks From University College London. He Published The Psychology Of Society In 1921 And By 1964 It Had Reached Its Ninth Edition And Had Been Translated Into Many Languages Ranging From Spanish To Japanese. In 1930 He Succeeded Hobhouse To The Martin White Professorship Of Sociology At The London School Of Economics. His Sociology Written In 1934 Was Described By The Guardian In Their Obituary As "Probably The Best Introduction To The Subject Ever Written". Some Of The Major Themes Of His Work Were Concerned With: 1. The Social Responsibility Of Sociologists Which He Saw As Part Of The More General Problem Of The Ethics Of Knowledge. He Believed That There Was An Urgent Need To Undertake Fuller Investigation Of The Relations Between Questions Of Fact And Questions Of Value - Particularly In The Face Of Relativistic Views That Maintain That Social Conflicts Have Their Origin In Fundamental Differences Of Moral Outlook. 2. The Second Main Theme Is The Question Of What He Called "Reason And Unreason" In Human Nature And Society. He Criticised The Traditional View Widely Propagated From Aristotle Through Hume To Bertrand Russell That The Main Functions Of Reason In Human Affairs Lie In The Clarification Systematisation And Control Of Impulse And Feeling And The Discovery Of Means To Their Fulfilment. He Contended That Reason And Feeling Should Not Be Held To Be In Opposition Or Reason As The Slave Of The Passions But That Reason Could Play A Significant Role In Motivating Action And Directing Feeling And Conation. 3. He Was Inevitably Also Concerned With The Nature Of Justice And Its Relationship To Equality And The Associated Question Of Law As An Increasingly Important Agent Of Social Change And Reform. 4. Another Pervading Theme In His Work Was The Advocacy Of The Liberal Disposition Of Mind As A Desideratum. He Opposed This To Fanaticism Impulsiveness 'Totalitarianism'. He Was For Sanity Coolness Reflection And Restraint In Judgment. <br/> <br/> London School of Economics and Political Science hardcover

First edition, 4to (285 x 220 mm), xvi, 244pp., with half-title, 9 folding engraved plates, the Lawes stamp at head of title, orig. boards scuffed, cloth reback, uncut. William Amos (c.1745?1825), Lincolnshire farmer and Agriculturalist writer. Amos's interest in new agricultural practices led him to undertake a series of crop trials from 1783 onwards, and these convinced him of the superiority of seed-drilling over the traditional broadcast method of sowing. As early as 1787 he was developing his own version of a drill-plough and he announced plans in that year for a book describing it; but his employer's death in 1788 and his subsequent move to Brothertoft in Lincolnshire as bailiff to Major John Cartwright (political reformer) delayed this project. While acting as bailiff and later as estate steward to Cartwright, Amos conducted further trials on his own farm as well as Cartwright's. Cartwright combined an active political career with a keen interest in agricultural improvement, and the collaboration between the two men over a period of fifteen years or so proved beneficial to both. It also brought Amos into contact with their close neighbour Sir Joseph Banks, who later described Amos as 'an honest man and an ingenious one', and with the agriculturist Arthur Young, who visited Cartwright's farm, saw some of Amos's inventions and remained in correspondence with him, obtaining a number of submissions from Amos for publication in his Annals of Agriculture. It was during this period of his life that Amos published his two books, The Theory and Practice of the Drill Husbandry and Minutes in Agriculture. (Wikipedia).

First edition, [6], 255, [1]pp., 4 large folding engraved plates of various different ploughs, contemporary tree calf, rebacked, label, a good copy. James Small, agriculturist and plough maker, was born at Upsettlington in the parish of Ladykirk, Berwickshire. He served an apprenticeship with a carpenter and plough maker at Hutton, Berwickshire, and about 1758 he went to Yorkshire to work for a Mr Robertson, maker of wagons and carriages at Doncaster. He returned to Scotland in 1763 and started to experiment with ploughs to establish which worked with the least draught. He enjoyed patronage from several leaders of Scottish society. Henry Home, Lord Kames, encouraged him in the publication of his treatise. Sir John Sinclair, a leader of progressive agricultural opinion in Scotland, was another champion of Small and his work. Small did not forget his first investor, Renton, who in 1784 became the dedicatee of his "Treatise of Ploughs and Wheel-Carriages." The book made Small the first to set out the scientific principles of plough design in print, building upon and clarifying the work of previous thinkers on the subject as well as expressing his own theories. This treatise was the standard text on plough design for fifty years. Rothamsted, p.136; Not in Perkins; Fussell II, pp.98-9.
