Summary

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.

  • From Hackney With Love - An Intimate History of Gentrification - cover

    From Hackney With Love - An...

    For so many decades, Hackney was the pinnacle of the dynamic multicultural spirit of modern Britain, demonstrated by the borough's vibrant and energetic streets and often controversial political, cultural and socio-economic character. But today, the Hackney that long-standing residents once treasured seems to be disappearing. The borough's diverse working-class communities – who survived the run-down council estates, the overwhelming deprivation and the postcode wars – are increasingly being pushed out by the middle classes who buy up their homes, rename their shops and reshape their neighbourhoods.
    How did Hackney go from being one of the poorest and most uninviting places in the country to being one of the most sought-after locations? In these pages, lifelong resident Richard Yeboah uncovers the borough's lively history, revealing the uncomfortable story of how gentrification has transformed Hackney, for better or for worse.
    Examining some of the most contested issues facing the borough today – including housing and regeneration, politics, class, race, education, youth violence, culture and gender identity – Yeboah amplifies the voices of Hackney's new, existing and former communities and explores the relationship between gentrification and feelings of belonging and loss.
    From Hackney, With Love is both a unique love letter to one of the most vibrant parts of London and a warning that its very existence is in jeopardy.

    A Pity Party Is Still a Party -...

    Most of us try to avoid feeling sad, but in this candid, comical, and deeply-felt book, therapist Chelsea Harvey Garner doesn’t just argue that the future will be brighter if we learn to enjoy the unenjoyable and support each other when the vibes aren’t so good, she also shows us how. 
    What if all the advice we’ve received about “looking on the bright side” is wrong? What if sadness is actually the key to happiness, and can even be . . . fun? Garner is here to make that case. In this feel-good guide to feeling bad, she claims it’s not enough for us to tolerate hard feelings. We need to embrace them. We need to let them show by crying with others. Often. In public. 
    Playful, at times irreverent, but always sincere, Garner is the grown-up Miss Frizzle for the therapy generation. She believes that if we want to build a world where mental health is the norm, we have to lean into connection and count on each other, even—and perhaps especially—at our worst. 
    Through anecdotes about her own hardships and insights gained in her clinical practice, Garner illuminates the power (and embarrassment) of opening up. Featuring solo exercises, group activities, and journal prompts alongside personal essays, she invites us to see emotions in a new light and engage with them in a healthier way. A Pity Party is Still a Party helps us find the silver lining, but only after we’ve played in the rain.
