Giving Voice to Reality
This article explores how Michael Trebilcock's multidimensional and pragmatic approach to the governance issues arising from limited liability in corporate law and the problems of assigning the task of protecting corporate employees to private contracting have widespread application in many areas where parties’ relationships are not confined to a single isolated transaction, including employment-based pension plans. Observations about the potenti…
The Bonding Effects of Directors’ Statutory Wage Liability
Canadian corporate directors are personally liable to the corporation's employees for unpaid wages. The dominant rationale is the protection of vulnerable employees. A proposal under consideration to exonerate directors from this liability responds to claims that directors of financially troubled corporations resign prematurely, lessening the realized value potential of the firm. Scholars have also argued that a “liability chill” causes directors…
Interstadial Conifer Wood from Northern Maine
Conifer wood, probably spruce ( Picea sp.), of middle Wisconsinan age (29,200 ± 500 yr B.P.) was recovered from late-glacial lake sediments from Upper South Branch Pond, Maine. If the wood was derived from a local source, deglaciation of part of northern New England is suggested for this time. The occurrence also has implications for understanding the problem associated with radiocarbon dating of bulk lake sediment containing small amounts of org…
The Contemporary Distribution of Pollen in Eastern North America
By mapping and summarizing 478 pollen counts from surface samples at 406 locations in eastern North America, this study documents the relationships between the distributions of pollen and vegetation on a continental scale. The most common pollen types in this region are pine, birch, oak, and spruce. Maps showing isopercentage contours or isopolls for 13 important pollen types reflect the general N-S zonation of the vegetation. The maps and tabula…
Vegetation and Associated Environments during the past 14,000 years near Moulton Pond, Maine
Pollen influx and percentage diagrams were prepared from an 11.4 m core from Moulton Pond, Maine. The pond basin was deglaciated about 14,000 y. a., after which it was located on an island in a sea of subarctic character until about 12,400 y. a. when the surrounding area emerged from the sea. The terrestrial vegetation was tundra until about 10,000 y. a. A change in the tundra vegetation is synchronous with the emergence from the sea, but synchro…
