Encyclopedia of Philosophy Blue Supplement (Macmillan Reference USA)

This new 5-volume MacMillan set focuses on the substance of American law, the processes that produce its legal principles, and the history of the Supreme Court, from its creation to the present. One of the encyclopedia's distinguishing themes is the examination of case law, the essential texts that form the backbone of legal and pre-legal study in the United States. Overview essays address the history of such topics as citizenship, due process, Native Americans, racism, and contraception, emphasizing the social context of each and the social and political pressures that shaped interpretation. This approach plays directly into the cutting-edge field known as the law and social issues movement, which studies political and non-judicial history, and advocates a law outside the courts approach. Almost 1,100 peer-reviewed articles cover concepts, cases, topics, personalities, institutions, events, and processes. Written in accessible language and supplemented with a glossary, thematic outline, historical documents, illustrations, and indexes this title provides context and ease-of-use to law and pre-law students, professors, legal professionals and general users.

Polar bears live in the Arctic and alligators in swamps, but what about llamas and lemurs, pumas and koalas? Whether it be forest, grassland, desert, or sea, animals are adapted to living in different circumstances. This handsome encyclopedia highlights this fact as it features more than 300 creatures living in 9 of the earth's major habitats, and introduces them in full-color photographs and drawings. Packed with animal facts and feats, this book explores the typical lifestyles, movements, methods of rearing young, feeding habits, predators, and prey of a wide variety of animals. Maps and diagrams show readers where each environment is located and describe its climate. The distribution, size, and scientific name of each animal are also provided.

This successor to Macmillan's "International Encyclopedia of Population" provides expanded, up-to-date coverage of demographic topics both in the core field and in neighboring disciplines.

An encyclopedia of animals, arranged according to their habitats

Spaghetti, gnocchi, tagliatellea, ravioli, vincisgrassi, strascinati ―pasta in its myriad forms has been a staple of the Mediterranean diet longer than bread. This beautiful volume is the first book to provide a complete history of pasta in Italy, telling its long story via the extravagant variety of shapes it takes and the even greater abundance of names by which it is known. Food scholar Oretta Zanini De Vita traveled to every corner of her native Italy, recording oral histories, delving into long-forgotten family cookbooks, and searching obscure archives to produce this rich and uniquely personal compendium of historical and geographical information. For each entry she includes the primary ingredients, preparation techniques, variant names, and the locality where it is made and eaten. Along the way, Zanini De Vita debunks such culinary myths as Marco Polo's supposed role in pasta's story even as she serves up a feast of new information. Encyclopedia of Pasta, illustrated throughout with original drawings by Luciana Marini, will be the standard reference on one of the world's favorite foods for many years to come, engaging and delighting both general readers and food professionals.

This one volume provides information, answers, and research direction for questions of faith and spirituality encompassed in the major world religions.
