It concerns the fluctuating seal population due to sealing; the Atlantic and global demand for seal fur and oil; the competition between American, British, and Canadian sealers over the territory’s seal stocks; and the attempts by various ruling governments to prioritise domestic sealing, maintain sufficient seal stocks, and continue to make profit.

USA TODAY BESTSELLING BOOK! Mike Majlak was a seventeen-year-old from a loving, middle-class family in Milford, Connecticut, when he got caught up in the opioid epidemic that swept the nation. For close to a decade thereafter, his life was a wasteland of darkness and despair.

In brief, it contains approximately 25,000 entries arranged alphabetically under the names of both brides and grooms, each giving the date of the license and a reference to the precise location of the original record.
The Feedback Process: Engaging Students with Meaningful Comments About their Writing features curriculum and instruction to assist humanities educators with commenting on student drafts. The focus is on students’ non-fiction writing or arguments supported with credible sources. To make a complex process more accessible, this book features strategies for both written and auditory commentary. To make the process more efficient, it includes surveys, feedback models, rubrics, lists of useful comments, and sample student drafts (with commentary). This book draws from classroom research to discuss strategies for managing students’ emotional responses to feedback, as well as instructors using tone and word choice constructively for greater impact on drafts. The Feedback Process ultimately aims to lessen the burden on instructors and educators who comment on a substantial number of papers every semester, with a fresh approach to feedback.
