Criminal Justice and Social Reconstruction
This is Volume V of fifteen in the Sociology of Law and Criminology series. Originally published in 1946, readers of the present volume will be aware of the links existing, for instance, between certain chapters of the author’s previous work ‘Social Aspects’, especially those on Business Administration and similar subjects, and the economic sections of the present book; or between the concluding Parts of the latter and of ‘The Dilemma’. A few lectures of a programmatic character delivered at a Summer School of the Fabian Society and at the South Place Ethical Society also feature in this book. It is one of the most important functions of Criminal Justice to play some part in the great task of Education for Citizenship.
Britain and the Islamic World, 1558-1713
Before they had an empire in the East, the British travelled into the Islamic world to pursue trade and to form strategic alliances against the Catholic powers of France and Spain. First-hand encounters with Muslims, Jews, Greek Orthodox, and other religious communities living together under tolerant Islamic rule changed forever the way Britons thought about Islam, just as the goods they imported from Islamic countries changed forever the way they lived. Britain and the Islamic World tells the story of how, for a century and a half, merchants and diplomats travelled from Morocco to Istanbul, from Aleppo to Isfahan, and from Hormuz to Surat, and discovered a world that was more fascinating th...

In this pathbreaking revision, Daniel Richter shows that the United States has a much deeper history than is apparentÑthat far from beginning with a clean slate, it is a nation with multiple pasts that stretch back as far as the Middle Ages, pasts whose legacies continue to shape the present. Exploring a vast range of original sources, Before the Revolution sp...

Credit Nation
How American colonists laid the foundations of American capitalism with an economy built on credit Even before the United States became a country, laws prioritizing access to credit set colonial America apart from the rest of the world. Credit Nation examines how the drive to expand credit shaped property laws and legal institutions in the colonial and founding eras of the republic. In this major new history of early America, Claire Priest describes how the British Parliament departed from the customary ways that English law protected land and inheritance, enacting laws for the colonies that privileged creditors by defining land and slaves as commodities available to satisfy debts.
