More specifically, he examines the development and spread of voluntary associations in Loir-et-Cher, on the southwestern margin of the Paris Basin. He focuses on associations aimed at reducing risk and uncertainty (mainly livestock insurance associations, mutual aid societies, and volunteer fire brigades), and on associations intended to provide agricultural protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939405529376,"sku":"NEW0521602718","price":62.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/fraternity-among-the-french-peasantry-sociability-and-voluntary-associations-in-the-loire-valley-1815-1914-cambridge-studies-in-historical-geography-series-number-28-0521602718","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
