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.

    Mental health has become the principal concern as adolescents struggle with a host of issues. This book provides psychotherapists with a clear theoretical understanding and practical application for navigating the increasingly complex adolescent experience as young people adjust and respond to the present day world. 
     
     
     
    Starrs presents a contemporary understanding of adolescence, identifying three principal character styles and offering experience near descriptions of the modern day adolescent. The author demonstrates how each configuration style in adolescence elicits a predictable response in parents and examines the challenges and dilemmas facing parents in today's world, highlighting the patterns and pitfalls which often render parental interventions ineffective. Developmentally attuned parenting strategies are outlined, pertaining to each configuration style. The in depth analysis of adolescent process and parental response has implications for the therapeutic encounter. Intervention focuses both on one- to-one work with the adolescent and parental involvement. The complexity of working with adolescents and parents who demonstrate psychological entrenchment is also outlined. 
     
     
     
    This highly listenable, original, and exceptional contribution is suitable for psychotherapists, allied professionals, and parents alike.

    Government and market failures spur many citizens to practical action today. Around the globe people form renewable energy cooperatives, provide support for marginalized populations, and deliver alternative justice and care services. What motivates citizens to begin such practical problem-solving? How do they engage others? What knowledge do they generate? How do they interact with state and market actors? What risks and opportunities do they hold for contemporary democracy? 
     
     
     
    To answer these questions, Dzur and Hendriks develop the concept of citizens' governance space to delineate these efforts from contentious social movements, formal civic associations, and local community organizations. Drawing on cases from around the globe, the authors examine how citizens do functional policy work, develop and disrupt knowledge, and selectively partner with governments and corporations. They reveal complexities and risks posed by citizens' governance spaces while also showing how they offer a distinct form of democratic participation centered on practical efforts and outcomes. 
     
     
     
    Democracy in Action provides a new lens for recognizing and understanding the more practical ways that citizens contribute to governance and democracy.
