Sinopsis

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.

    To educate means to draw forth (Latin, educare: to lead, to bring up); the teacher must draw forth, but, also, must meet the new individual at her or his own level. But what does the teacher draw forth from the child? Is the teacher like the sun that draws forth the plants? Children do grow up, but at the same time, they come down. What if one is teaching one's own children? 
    There are as many possible approaches to teaching children at home, that is, "homeschooling", as there are homes and families who choose to take up this individualized approach to education. Catherine Read chose to model her School-at-Home on the curriculum used in Waldorf schools. 
    This book is the story of her journey as the primary teacher of her two daughters through the Waldorf curriculum from early childhood through high school grade eleven: what she did, when she did it, and why. 
    Along the way, this flexible, artistic, challenging, and ultimately rewarding approach to education comes into focus. Inspiring and instructional, the account of her years as both parent and teacher will be a boon to anyone thinking of founding their own School-at-Home.

    Olive Yang was a widely mythologized genderqueer lesbian opium-pioneer in the 1950s heyday of the Golden Triangle. After escaping an arranged marriage with a noble cousin, Olive felt that she had no choice but to lead a life of banditry with an anti-communist rebel army supported by the CIA. As her smuggling empire grew, she became so powerful and infamous that novelists were inspired to write about her evil ruthlessness and beauty. Yet, Olive’s real life and identity remained a mystery to many. Opium Queen is a journey to uncover the true story behind the propaganda and legends. Declassified intelligence documents portray Olive as a critical operator in one of the most important fronts of the clandestine Cold War against China. Through extensive interviews with the Yang family, Olive emerges as a complex anti-hero, searching for a way to live as an open homosexual in an era when such a lifestyle was considered deeply shameful in Burma. The great military alliances that facilitate narcotics traffic in Myanmar today are Olive’s lasting legacy in the Golden Triangle, as is the disenfranchisement of the people of Kokang. Through the story of Olive’s formidable life, Opium Queen examines historic events that underpinned critical diplomatic relationships between the U.S., Myanmar, and China and were at the root of Myanmar’s current political crisis.

    A re-examination of the infamous 2001 North Carolina “Staircase murder” through the outrageous theory that an owl was the killer—and not Michael Peterson. 
     
    On December 9, 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her Durham, North Carolina, home. Her scalp was laced with deep incisions, and her blood was strewn from outside to inside the house. 
     
    The sinister truth of that night turned her murder into North Carolina’s most enigmatic criminal case, capturing media attention across the globe. 
     
    Police zeroed in on Kathleen’s husband, Michael Peterson, and charged him with murder. But was it the truth? 
     
    A neighbor, Larry Pollard, came up with an alternative “killer.” He claimed an owl attacked Kathleen outside her house. He said it sliced her scalp with its fierce talons and caused her to run inside, collapsing at the stairwell, and bleeding to death. 
     
    When the media heard about his theory, Larry was mocked. And Michael was convicted. Now, twenty years later, author Tiddy Smith explores Pollard’s theory and questions whether law enforcement ignored, or even hid, evidence to convict Michael Peterson. And was an owl, in fact, the real killer? In Death by Talons, Tiddy Smith gives insight into the “Staircase” and the conspiracy behind the Michael Peterson trial.
