Straws in the Wind: Medieval Urban Environmental Law-The Case of Northern Italy

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Zupko and Laures have written a unique account of the environmental history of medieval Italian towns. The authors examine the law codes of towns in northern and central Italy in order to learn what individual citizens wanted their town and its environment to be. Straws in the Wind demonstrates that medieval legislators had a vision of what the ideal urban quality of life should be and that they enacted laws designed to shape the city environment in accordance with this ideal. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
