Getting a sense of the book's overall argument - and whether or not anti-gay activists can justifiably point to Unwin's work as reason to believe that same-sex marriage threatens our civilisation - would be even better. A full-scale review backed up with quotes from the book itself would be absolutely heavenly.<BR/><BR/>I'll throw up anything you put up in a new post if you like.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044550696250563823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306964.post-5793572987816880702008-08-10T06:53:00.000+10:002008-08-10T06:53:00.000+10:00Hi there - sitting here with a copy of the book ri...Hi there - sitting here with a copy of the book right here on my lap!

Perhaps "human records" and "instance of a society" don't appear on the same page, which means your search would miss it?<BR/><BR/>Hmm...here's a search that succeeds: http://books.google.com/books?id=i0IjAAAAMAAJ&q=%22human+records%22&pgis=1.<BR/><BR/>That's the quote alright.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044550696250563823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306964.post-85728160297934749392008-08-03T20:31:00.000+10:002008-08-03T20:31:00.000+10:00http://books.google.com/books?id=i0IjAAAAMAAJ&...http://books.google.com/books?id=i0IjAAAAMAAJ&q=human+records+instance+of+society&pgis=1#search suggests it doesn't come from this book either.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01213305601817005797noreply@blogger.com
