Very dry for the interest subject
The book was edited in 1994 and does not reflect the latest changes in the law, especially European one (including Eastern Europe).In addition it is very dry.The best part of the book is the history of law development and description of judicial system in France, Germany and England. But thats it! Only West European law is reviewed; nothing about Islamic law, law of African countries (I would like to have brief description at least); the description of Russian law is laughable,no insight.

Bottom line, if you have a choice DO NOT buy it or buy a used one... ... Read more

Product Description
Hiking backwards in time.

Southern Ontario's sedimentary deposits hold the fascinating story of our planet's last half billion years. Most of the surface rock in Southern Ontario is limestone, dolostone or marble. Consequently, geologic history is readily visible in its distinctive layers -- if you know where to look.

Explore ancient seabeds. See evidence of violent, catastrophic floods. Witness the effects of glaciers that scoured the continent. Discover signs of droughts that lasted thousands of years.

No matter what your age or skill level, Rockwatching is an entertaining and informative guide that shows you can go back in time.

Rockwatching features fascinating locations that can be explored in a single afternoon. Visit the formidable cliffs above Georgian Bay, their enormous broken potholes gaping like fierce jaws. Or, on the opposite side of the Bruce Peninsula, stroll through the dunes of Dorcas Bay, where strange, red-veined pitcher plants lurk among the bog reeds and many species of orchid make their home.

Other trips include: - Rockwood - Mt. Nemo - Belfountain - Ball's Falls - Queenston Heights - Moira - Lion's Head - Bobcaygeon - Marmora - Little Bluff - Inglis Falls - Devil's Glen - Limehouse - Maitland Trail.

Rockwatching provides maps and directions to each feature as well as safety tips and valuable hiking advice. ... Read more
