This book provides a historical and socio-legal investigation into the prevalence of litigation arising from cursing and interpersonal hostility in the under-explored region of Northwest England during a period of acute socio-economic crisis in the seventeenth century. Contributing to the scholarship of magic and witchcraft, it shows the complex circumstances of the world of healing and harming using customary knowledge such as magic and folk medicine as it is variously presented in the documents of the legal system. While primary sources such as pamphlets have usefully informed numerous witchcraft studies, this book establishes popular belief derived from the depositions, interrogatories and various other manuscripts of the manorial, ecclesiastical and secular courts positioned within a micro historical early modern context.

Easy Clarinet Duets Below the Break is a collection of 10 duets which I have written especially for young students who have not yet ventured over the break. This collection would be very useful for teachers who are looking for something fun to do at the end of a lesson, and they could be performed at an end of term concert or a school assembly. As a teacher, I found that there were very few clarinet duet books that didn't get too difficult too quickly, and the ones that were easy were just a bit boring for the students. This collection aims to fill that niche and there is something for everyone in there, without being difficult or overwhelming.The contents include:1. Marigold2. Summer Moment3. Sparkle4. Ghost Train5. Weekend Winner6. Philosophy7. Class8. Meditation9. Cloudy Lemonade10. Shady SubwayThere is a wide variety of styles included in this collection, and each duet focuses on a different technique, from staccato and legato to dynamics and syncopation. These duets should provide a fun break from exam materiel, while still providing an educational element.
