Michilimackinac Island Treaty No.1 (1781)

In May 1781, the Anishinaabeg (Chippewa/Ojibwe) of the Straits of Mackinac region deeded Mackinac Island to the British (see also Upper Canada Land Surrenders). The treaty was recorded both in writing and in wampum. It utilized Anishinaabeg and British legal traditions to confirm the transfer of the island’s ownership to the British Crown. This agreement confirmed British use and occupancy of the island where a new fortification and village were under construction.

Microbiology

Microbiology is the science that studies micro-organisms and viruses. Micro-organisms are too small to be distinguished by the naked eye (ie, less than 0.1 mm in diameter); hence, their discovery and study occurred only after the introduction of adequate microscopes. These organisms have in common a relatively simple cell structure, although different species may differ in some aspects of their structure. Based on structural aspects, particularly those of the nucleus, micro-organisms are divided into two groups, eukaryotes (having a true, membrane-bound nucleus) and prokaryotes (with a primitive nucleus).

Microeconomics

Microeconomics is a field of economics that studies the behaviour of individuals and business firms in allocating scarce resources. In contrast, macroeconomics studies the economy as a whole and looks at issues such as employment, inflation, government deficits and international trade. Like all fields of economics, microeconomic research consists of forming theories and testing those theories using economic data. Microeconomics has a long history that dates back to the very beginning of economics as a discipline. Much of microeconomic theory is premised on the notion of individuals as rational actors aiming to maximize their utility, or their satisfaction with goods and services. More recently, research in behavioural economics has combined insights from economics and psychology to challenge these assumptions.
