Essays in the History of Canadian Law, Volume XII
Drawing on engaging case studies, Essays in the History of Canadian Law brings the law to life. The contributors to this collection provide rich historical and social context for each case, unravelling the process of legal decision-making and explaining the impact of the law on the people involved in legal disputes. Examining the law not simply as legislation and institutions, but as discourse, practice, symbols, rhetoric, and language, the book’s chapters show the law as both oppressive and constraining and as a point of contention and means of resistance. This collection presents new approaches and concerns, as well as re-examinations of existing themes with new evidence and modes of sto...
Lawrence Grassi
Lawrence Grassi was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. A working-class man of humble Italian origins who worked as a labourer and a coal miner for most of his life, Grassi had a deep passion for the Rocky Mountains. He was famous in the region for his commitment as a guide, a mountain climber, and a builder of greatly admired hiking trails. Today, in or near Canmore, his name graces a mountain, two lakes, and a school, and he is commemorated at Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park. In Lawrence Grassi: From Piedmont to the Rocky Mountains, Elio Costa and Gabriele Scardellato uncover the deeply private man behind this legend, from his birth in the small Italian village of Falmenta to his long and inspirational career in Canada. Using previously unexamined family letters and extensive information on Grassi's cohort of Italian immigrants, the authors reconstruct his personal and professional life, correcting myths and connecting his story to the long history of Italian immigration to Canada. The definitive biography of this Canadian mountain hero, Lawrence Grassi will be essential reading for those interested in the history of immigration, sport, and the Rocky Mountains.

Colombo e altri navigatori
Attento agli sviluppi della storiografia internazionale sull’età delle scoperte e delle esplorazioni, Codignola rilegge alcuni testi fondamentali di tale periodo. Proprio perché unici, egli mostra come tali testi siano spesso letti in modo acritico, come si trattasse di un’“enciclopedia della conoscenza”. Con una prospettiva critica certamente inusuale, lo storico genovese rilegge il diario di bordo della prima navigazione di Cristoforo Colombo, il resoconto del viaggio americano di Giovanni da Verrazzano, il manoscritto della pretesa spedizione di Samuel de Champlain alle Antille, nonché la corrispondenza originale di Laurens van Heemskerk relativa ai suoi progetti di esplorazion...
