Synopsis

Unusual Laws Explained explores the peculiar world of antiquated legislation still in effect today, offering insights into the historical and political forces that shaped them. These seemingly bizarre laws, such as restrictions on wearing camouflage or peculiar economic regulations, provide a unique lens through which to understand evolving social norms and the complexities of legal systems across the globe. By examining these historical laws, the book reveals how specific events and cultural beliefs have shaped legal frameworks, often with lasting consequences.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction to legal history and then exploring laws related to public order, economic regulations, and morality. For instance, seemingly odd restrictions on personal freedoms or religious practices reflect the ongoing tension between individual liberty and societal control.

 
The book argues that these legal oddities are valuable artifacts illuminating societal development, prompting critical thinking about the necessity and reform of laws in modern society. Through a global perspective, Unusual Laws Explained avoids legal jargon and presents legal history in an accessible manner, using historical records and expert opinions to support its claims. This approach makes the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, politics, or the stranger side of legal history, encouraging a deeper understanding of legal reform and social justice.

    UPROAR! - Satire Scandal and...

    **A brilliant new history of Georgian Britain through the eyes of the artists who immortalised it, by one of the UK's most exciting young historians**
    
    'Alice Loxton is the star of her generation ... the next big thing in history' Dan Snow
    
    London, 1772: a young artist called Thomas Rowlandson is making his way through the grimy backstreets of the capital, on his way to begin his studies at the Royal Academy Schools. Within a few years, James Gillray and Isaac Cruikshank would join him in Piccadilly, turning satire into an artform, taking on the British establishment, and forever changing the way we view power.
    
    Set against a backdrop of royal madness, political intrigue, the birth of modern celebrity, French revolution, American independence and the Napoleonic Wars, UPROAR! follows the satirists as they lampoon those in power, from the Prince Regent to Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Their prints and illustrations deconstruct the political and social landscape with surreal and razor-sharp wit, as the three men vie with each other to create the most iconic images of the day.
    UPROAR! fizzes with energy on every page. Alice Loxton writes with verve and energy, never failing to convince in her thesis that Gillray and his gang profoundly altered British humour, setting the stage for everything from Gilbert and Sullivan to Private Eye and Spitting Image today. This is a book that will cause readers to reappraise everything they think they know about genteel Georgian London, and see it for what it was - a time of UPROAR!

    State of the Union 1987

    The 1987 State of the Union Address delivered January 27, 1987, in the 200th anniversary year of the U.S. Constitution, notes dramatic improvements in the inflation rate, interest rates, housing starts, and the unemployment rate. Reagan regrets the Iran-Contra controversy and promises to get to the bottom of it and take whatever action is called for. 
    Though the Soviets transferred $75 billion in weapons to client-states like Syria, Vietnam, Cuba, Libya, Angola, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Nicaragua, the Congress cut administration requests for security assistance and defense. There “is no surer way to lose freedom than to lose our resolve.” As President Truman said: “International communism seeks to crush and undermine and destroy the independence of the Americas. We cannot let that happen here.” 
    Our Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI, “is the most positive and promising defense program we have undertaken. It's the path, for both sides, to a safer future -- a system that defends human life instead of threatening it.” 
    We support free trade and “expanding peaceful commerce across the world.” We remain opposed as ever to protectionism…” 
    The “federal deficit is outrageous.” We need “a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced budget”. We need “a line-item veto so we can carve out the boondoggles and pork…” “We have deficits because big government spends too much.” 
    The U.S. Constitution “grew out of the most fundamental inspiration of our existence: that we are here to serve Him by living free -- that living free releases in us the noblest of impulses and the best of our abilities; that we would use these gifts for good and generous purposes and would secure them not just for ourselves and for our children but for all mankind.”
