They produced a legal code (which they called the Salic law) at approximately the same time that the Visigoths and Burgundians produced theirs, but the Frankish code is the least Romanized and most Germanic of the three. Unlike Roman law, this code does not emphasize marriage and the family, inheritance, gifts, and contracts; rather, Lex Salica is largely devoted to establishing fixed monetary or other penalties for a wide variety of damaging acts such as "killing women and children," "striking a man on the head so that the brain shows," or "skinning a dead horse without the consent of its owner."

LA was nothing until the dams and aqueducts came in, and even today you’d think they’d have a water shortage. I wanted a first edition copy as a gift for a friend, and the condition of the purchase was excellent. If you're unsure how to ask for testimonials, this book will tell you how to do it. Does it delight my kid? Absolutely. The delay between 2008 and the 2009 release date appears to be related to the need to increase the number of International authors and perspectives, a worthy goal.The book itself is very comprehensive, with five parts covering a wide range of topic areas, including:Part 1: Examples of Projects from Geographic and Industry Applications..
