TL;DR: In the first half of the twentieth century, as a result of administrative action and in particular the establishment of 'Chiefs' Courts' a system of law developed, which although based on customary procedures, introduced many concepts which were quite unknown to the Nuer in the past as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Originally published in 1954 this book was originally designed for administrators but has become a key title for anthropologists. It includes a summary account of the history and social organisation of the Nuer and provides a descriptive analysis of their customary practices concerning homicide, blood-feuds, marriage and divorce and the settlement of disputes by arbitration and the award of compensation. It shows how in the first half of the twentieth century, as a result of administrative action and in particular the establishment of 'Chiefs' Courts' a system of law developed, which although based on customary procedures, introduced many concepts which were quite unknown to the Nuer in the past.

TL;DR: The place of law in the settlement of disputes by the Security Council is a topic which has already occasioned debate as discussed by the authors and many lawyers contend that law plays a minimal role in the work of the Council, and that it operates in a different way from a judicial body such as the International Court of Justice, and frequently ignores the law of nations.
Abstract: The place of law in the settlement of disputes by the Security Council is a topic which has already occasioned debate. Many lawyers contend that law plays a minimal role in the work of the Council. That organ is, they point out, essentially a political body. It operates in a different way from a judicial body such as the International Court of Justice, and frequently ignores the law of nations. Oscar Schachter, writing in this Journal in 1964, has offered another view, pointing to subtle ways in which the influence of law can still make itself felt in the work of the Security Council, by providing a common language, by applying principles to specific cases, and by determining new points of community interest. The purpose of this article is to examine, in the light of recent years, some of the limitations within which this legal endeavor takes place, and to see whether law has any real function in the settlement of disputes.

TL;DR: The clinical features of patients of Greek origin who suffered back or neck Injuries in industrial or traffic accidents were based on a mixture of organic and psychological causes, as well as social disturbances, owing to the particular cultural background of the patients.
Abstract: A group of 82 patients was reviewed. All these patients were of Greek origin and suffered back or neck Injuries in industrial or traffic accidents. In most cases the injuries were relatively mild, yet they produced a large variety of symptoms. The clinical features were to a large extent based on a mixture of organic and psychological causes, as well as social disturbances, owing to the particular cultural background of the patients. Legal proceedings were in general regarded as complicating factors and, at times, adversely influenced prognosis. A settlement of the legal matters, however, had little or no influence on most patients and their symptoms persisted unaltered.

TL;DR: The social, political and economic impact of the decline of the old colonial powers in Africa, India, and the Middle East are still key areas of scholarly research and debate as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The social, political and economic impact of the decline of the old colonial powers in Africa, India and the Middle East are still key areas of scholarly research and debate. Based on careful social observation and empirical research, these titles explore the tension between agriculture and industry in developing economies, and trace the complex political process of independence. Aimed at administrators and academics, these studies are central to Development Studies, and also present the work of renowned anthropologists such as Raymond Firth.

TL;DR: The Civil List compromise of the reign of William III resolved the conflict between the Stuarts and their Parliaments for control of finance, and was an important step in the achievement of political stability within the mixed and balanced constitution as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In a theoretical sense it may be said that the Revolution of 1688–9 established the supremacy of Parliament in the English constitution, but from a practical point of view the result of the Revolution was a –mixed and balanced’ constitution, in which power was shared between Crown and Parliament, and exercised within a framework of law. Although the doctrine of a ‘mixed and balanced’ constitution was an old one, the Revolution made clear the need for Crown and Parliament to work together, and in the reign of William III a new definition of their relationship was achieved. In this process the question of finance was crucial, for Parliament saw in control of finance the most effective instrument to limit the power of the Crown, while the Crown insisted that monarchy could not maintain its proper place in the constitution without some degree of fiscal independence. The outcome was, like most aspects of the Revolution Settlement, a compromise, in which the Crown received an independent income for the Civil List, while Parliament assumed responsibility for the military forces and the debt. The Civil List compromise of the reign of William III resolved the conflict between the Stuarts and their Parliaments for control of finance, and was an important step in the achievement of political stability within the ‘mixed and balanced’ constitution.

TL;DR: The Neolithic settlement of Auvernier on the shores of Lake Neuchltel in Switzerland, first described in 1854 (Keller), is archaeologically dated by imports from the Schnurkeramik civilization as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Neolithic settlement of Auvernier on the shores of Lake Neuchltel in Switzerland, first described in 1854 (Keller), is archaeologically dated by imports from the Schnurkeramik civilization (‘corded’ complex) (JCquier and Strahm, 1965).

TL;DR: This article explored the relationship between social workers and black people in Chicago between 1900 and 1920 and found many similarities between poor blacks and poor immigrants, but they were impressed as well by the unique problems faced by black people because of racial discrimination.
Abstract: This essay explores the relationship between social workers and blacks in Chicago between 1900 and 1920. In a city peopled by some thirty different nationalities, leading social workers discovered many similarities between poor blacks and poor immigrants, but they were impressed as well by the unique problems faced by black people because of racial discrimination. Both the charity and settlement wings of social work sought to discover in these years the place of blacks in a pluralistic society.

TL;DR: The Security Council resolution of November 22, 1967, seems to provide for a satisfactory solution of the Middle East controversy, and it is difficult to see how there can be a satisfactory settlement except on the basis of the principles on which that resolution is based.
Abstract: The Security Council resolution of November 22, 1967, seems to provide for a satisfactory solution of the Middle East controversy, and it is difficult to see how there can be a satisfactory settlement except on the basis of the principles on which that resolution is based. The preamble of that resolution states three fundamental principles.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore strategic perspectives on provisional settlements, in which authoritative action and agreement on a political settlement are set aside and a stress on provisionality rules out "concord" as a basis for peace.
Abstract: International conflicts since World War II have shown a decline in the forms and modalities of beginnings and endings which are characteristic of Western war since the seventeenth century As the custom of declaring war has become apparently obsolete, so the termination of conflicts involves, at best, accord on provisional settlement, in which authoritative action and agreement on a political settlement are set aside A stress on provisionality rules out "concord" as a basis for peace As political strategy, peacekeeping works within a narrow time frame The article explores strategic perspectives on provisional settlements
TL;DR: A recent survey in central Mexico offers a useful perspective from which to view the first part of an ethnohistoric document-the Codice Xolotl-which deals with the same area as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A recent settlement pattern survey in central Mexico offers a useful perspective from which to view the first part of an ethnohistoric document-the Codice Xolotl-which deals with the same area. Regional settlement patterns from the Early Postclassic period seem to correspond most reasonably with events depicted in the Codice. It is suggested that the first part of the Codice Xolotl is most useful to anthropologists when considered within a framework of relevant archaeological information.
TL;DR: This paper showed that although the dialects of the eastern and western bank of the Jordan river are rightly classified as Southern Levantine, there is compelling linguistic evidence that the sedentary varieties spoken in Jordan did not originate from Palestine, but rather from the North, more precisely from Horān, an ancient settlement area of the Levant located between what is now Jordan and Syria.
Abstract: A common belief is that Jordanian Arabic is mostly similar to Palestinian Arabic. It will be shown that although the dialects of the eastern and western bank of the Jordan river are rightly classified as Southern Levantine, there is compelling linguistic evidence that the sedentary varieties spoken in Jordan did not originate from Palestine, but rather from the North, more precisely from Horān, an ancient settlement area of the Levant located between what is now Jordan and Syria.

TL;DR: In this paper, the United States and the CEP States (Chile, Ecuador, and Peru) presented their position to the International Court of Justice for settlement of the North Sea Dispute.
Abstract: of NATURAL SOVEREIGNTY ON THE HIGH SEAS Unprecedented c La.Lrns which expand sovereignty over the high seas pose a continuing thr~at to the public order of the world's oceans. Extreme and frequently vigorously disputed opposing views on such claims are typified by the current positions of the United States and the CEP States (Chile, Ecuador, and Peru). These disputed positions and their relative flexibility can be established and could be presented to the International Court of Justice for settlement. The Court would analyze the facts in light of recent legal opinions: the Court's own January 1969 Judgment in the North Sea Cases would be the most current, related, and authoritative indication of what their jUdgment would be. This judgment would be representative of an international position in disputes involving natural sovereignty on the high seas. This judgment would serve both as a challenge and opportunity for the United States to assume leadership in settlement of future disputes.

TL;DR: Six species of large mammals that lived in the present state of Iowa at the time of settlement by European man were extirpated by the end of the 1800's and presently are extant in the state due to protection and, in the case of the white-tailed deer and beaver, also through reintroduction by the Iowa State Conservation Commission.
Abstract: In a paper entitled "Local Problems in Sciences" that appeared in ie Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science, Osborn (1889:23) wrote as follows: "The species [of mammals in Iowa] now extinct or doomed to extinction by the invading presence of man have need of an historian, and his work can not be begun too soon." Since that time, few attempts have been made to detail the early distribution and relative abundance of Iowan mammals most affected by the presence of the white man, although Swisher (1940) discussed some aspects of extripation and reestablishment of white-tailed deer, Pammel (1930) summarized information on the location of bison remains and Peterson (1940) reported on the wolves, but made no attempt to differentiate between the coyote (or "prairie wolf") and the gray wolf. Six species of large mammals that lived in the present state of Iowa at the time of settlement by European man were extirpated by the end of the 1800's. To my knowledge, no live-taken specimen of any of these six mammals was preservedX although skeletal remains of bison and elk are numerous. Additionally, three other species nearly were extirpated and presently are extant in the state due to protection and, in the case of the white-tailed deer and beaver, also through reintroduction by the Iowa State Conservation Commission. In order to determine the former distribution and relative abundance of these nine species, I have consulted a representative portion of ie historical literature available in the libraries of the Iowa State Departrnent of History and Archives, Des Moines, and Iowa State University. Only clearly authenticated locality records have been included and, when available) the year in which the observation was made. For the commoner species, such as beaver and white-tailed deer, ffie only records listed are those that have aided me in determination of relative abundance during the early period of settlement, or the time of extirpation in various parts of the state.
