Summary

Bizarre World Laws explores the peculiar and often illogical legal statutes found across the globe, offering insights into the cultures and histories that shaped them. Going beyond mere amusement, it demonstrates how these unusual laws reflect societal values, historical events, and even political agendas. For instance, some historical laws regulating clothing were originally intended to prevent the spread of disease, showcasing how public health concerns have influenced legal frameworks. The book argues that these seemingly ridiculous laws are artifacts that illuminate the complex interplay between power, culture, and history.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, the book begins with an introduction to the concept of bizarre laws and progresses through exploring laws related to public health, cultural beliefs, and economic activities. By examining these legal anomalies, readers gain a deeper understanding of how societies function, how laws are created and enforced, and how cultural values are embedded in legal frameworks, as well as the influence of cultural norms.

    A smart and empowering book about the simple art of hanging out . . . and of taking back our social lives from the deadening whirl of contemporary life. 
 
 
 
Almost every day it seems that our world becomes more fractured, more digital, and more chaotic. Sheila Liming has the answer: we need to hang out more. 
 
 
 
Starting with the assumption that play is to children as hanging out is to adults, Liming makes a brilliant case for the necessity of unstructured social time as a key element of our cultural vitality. The book asks questions like what is hanging out? why is it important? why do we do it? how do we do it? and examines the various ways we hang out—in groups, online, at parties, at work. 
 
 
 
Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time makes an intelligent case for the importance of this most casual of social structures and shows us how just getting together can be a potent act of resistance all on its own.
