Transatlantic Obligations: Creating the Bonds of Family in Conquest-Era Peru and Spain
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 28.47 $The sixteenth-century changes wrought by expansion of Spanish empire into Peru shaped the ways of being a family in colonial Peru. Even as migration, race mixture, and transculturation took place, family members fulfilled obligations to one another by adapting custom to a changing world. Family began to shift when, from the moment of their arrival in 1532, Spaniards were joined with elite indigenous women in political marriage-like alliances. Almost immediately, a generation of mestizos was born that challenged the hierarchies of colonial society. In response, the Spanish Crown began to promote the marriage of these men and the travel of Spanish women to Peru to promote good customs and even serve as surrogate parents. Other reactions came from wives in Spain who, abandoned by husbands, sought assistance to fulfill family duties. For indigenous families, the pressures of colonialism prompted migration to cities. By mid-century, the increase of Spanish migration to Peru changed the social landscape, but did not halt mixed-race marriages. The book posits that late sixteenth-century cities, specifically Lima and Arequipa, were host to indigenous and Spanish families but also to numerous 'blended' families borne of a process of mestizaje. In its final chapter, the legacies for the next generation reveal how Spanish fathers sometimes challenged law with custom and sentiment to establish inheritance plans for their children. By tracing family obligations connecting Peru and Spain through dowries, bequests, legal powers, and letters, Transatlantic Obligations presents a powerful call to rethink sixteenth-century definitions of family.

Theory of Political Obligation : Membership, Commitment, and the Bonds of Society
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 98.03 $Margaret Gilbert offers an incisive new approach to a classic problem of political philosophy: when and why should I do what the law tells me to do? Do I have special obligations to conform to the laws of my own country and if so, why? In what sense, if any, must I fight in wars in which my country is engaged, if ordered to do so, or suffer the penalty for law breaking--including the death penalty? Gilbert's accessible book offers a provocative and compelling case in favor of citizens' obligations to the state, while examining how these can be squared with self-interest and other competing considerations.

A Theory of Political Obligation: Membership, Commitment, and the Bonds of Society
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 40.63 $Margaret Gilbert offers an incisive new approach to a classic problem of political philosophy: when and why should I do what the laws of my country tell me to do? Beginning with carefully argued accounts of social groups in general and political societies in particular, the author argues that in central, standard senses of the relevant terms membership in a political society in and of itself obligates one to support that society's political institutions. The obligations in question are not moral requirements derived from general moral principles, as is often supposed, but a matter of one's participation in a special kind of commitment: joint commitment. An agreement is sufficient but not necessary to generate such a commitment. Gilbert uses the phrase 'plural subject' to refer to all of those who are jointly committed in some way. She therefore labels the theory offered in this book the plural subject theory of political obligation. The author concentrates on the exposition of this theory, carefully explaining how and in what sense joint commitments obligate. She also explores a classic theory of political obligation--actual contract theory--according to which one is obligated to conform to the laws of one's country because one agreed to do so. She offers a new interpretation of this theory in light of a theory of plural subject theory of agreements. She argues that actual contract theory has more merit than has been thought, though the more general plural subject theory is to be preferred. She compares and contrasts plural subject theory with identification theory, relationship theory, and the theory of fair play. She brings it to bear on some classic situations of crisis, and, in the concluding chapter, suggests a number of avenues for related empirical and moral inquiry. Clearly and compellingly written, A Theory of Political Obligation will be essential reading for political philosophers and theorists.

The Bond of The Millennium: The Days of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 20.91 $The first time Pierce Brosnan went to the cinema, aged 11, he watched a James Bond film. At the age of 27, he married a James Bond girl. He had the chance of playing James Bond himself at the age of 33 but lost the role due to contractual obligations. He was 41 when he was formally announced as the fifth actor to play James Bond on June 8, 1994, playing the role for a decade in four productions and three original video games. One could say that it was written that at some point of his life Brosnan would play Ian Fleming’s secret agent, and this happened during a particular time where the world was going through many cultural, technological and political changes. This book offers an in-depth look to the era that took the franchise to new heights from the 1990s to the first years of the new millennium, remarking the importance that Pierce Brosnan’s portrayal of James Bond has had to guarantee the continued success of 007 into the 21st century.

Win-Win: An Insider's Guide to School Bonds
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 24.46 $California has more than 1,000 school and community college (K-14) districts. When they need to build, repair or equip their campuses, these districts must ask voters to approve the issuance of general obligation (GO) bonds and raise property tax rates – a big ask. In this third edition of Win-Win: An Insider’s Guide to School Bonds, Dale Scott, a leading financial advisor for California public schools and community colleges, demystifies the complex, often-challenging process that gives step-by-step insights into developing, structuring and selling GO bonds. This updated and expanded edition includes a new section on financing teacher-staff housing with GO Bonds. The bold and innovative financing idea, believed to be the first of its kind, allows school districts and community colleges to attract and retain teachers and staff. The transaction was the winner of The Bond Buyer’s 2018 Small Issuer Deal of the Year. Drawing on three decades of work as an advisor to school and community college districts, Dale, a financial advisor, campaign manager and former Wall Street investment banker, walks readers through each step of the bond issuance process, answering the many questions he’s been asked over the years. Hard-hitting, detailed and humorous, Win-Win explores why voters approve some bond measures and reject others, explains how bond deals are put together, and offers tips on selecting the right team of professionals and avoiding scandals like those that have plagued poorly structured GO bond efforts. Written for district administrators, school board members, campaign volunteers, taxpayer organizations and concerned citizens, Win-Win is an upbeat guide on the complex processes of California school bonds, showing that when executed correctly, the teamwork needed to pass a school bond can have a transformative effect on both schools and people’s sense of their role in the community.

Chosen Pride
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 23.37 $L'Ange: Book Three Jon Slade finally met his mate, but instead of it being the happiest day of his life, it became the saddest when wolf shifter Kelvin MacCurdy chose his obligations over their fated bond, leaving Jon to pick up the pieces of his shattered dreams. Lucky for him, Roman Howell, his boss and the owner of L’Ange, saw promise in the forlorn lion and put him to work so he wouldn’t have time to sit around and lick his wounds while he waited for his wounded spirit to heal. Then the wolves make an official visit to L’Ange, and Jon finds out Kelvin’s pining for him is taking its toll on his position as the king’s champion. Though Kelvin’s training and the expectations of others steer him toward an intended mate, Jon has an unbreakable hold on his heart, and it’s no longer possible for Kelvin to keep himself from where he truly belongs. But the conclave brings more than Kelvin to the château. It also brings a challenge to jackal alpha Quade Danas, a threat that Quade and Roman, Arman and Linus, and Jon and Kelvin may have to fight in order to keep L’Ange’s family intact. Jon never wanted to lead a pride, but the loyalty and devotion to one is ingrained in him. Kelvin was raised to punish anyone who questioned his king, but the calling to protect others runs through his veins just as deeply. To come out on the other side of the battle together, Jon and Kelvin will have to hold the darkness of solitary pride and broken hearts at bay―and find strength in belonging to something bigger than themselves.
