Sinossi

Absurd Everyday Laws explores the strange and often humorous regulations still in existence today, offering insights into legal history, social control, and the evolution of social norms. It's more than just a list of oddities; it reveals how seemingly nonsensical laws reflect the values and anxieties of past societies, influencing our lives even now. For instance, the book examines how laws governing everything from food and drink to personal conduct originated, and why some, like prohibitions on Sunday alcohol sales, persist.

 
The book approaches its subject by first introducing the concept of absurd laws and their origins, from historical context to unintended legislative consequences. It then delves into themed chapters focusing on laws related to areas such as food, transportation, and public behavior, providing historical context for each.

 
Finally, Absurd Everyday Laws analyzes the implications of these laws, examining their roles in society, the legal challenges they present, and arguments for and against their repeal, ultimately offering a framework for evaluating laws in a changing world, making it valuable for those interested in social science or politics.

    Not too many people realize that the story of Dracula was based on a really sadistic ruler in Romania. Vlad the Impaler, or Vlad the Third, was a merciless despot who tried to make an example out of his opponents by impaling them and displaying them in public. He also enjoyed bathing in dead people’s blood and did some other gross, inhumane things. He was the terror of Eastern Europe for many years. 
    What made this tyrant so effective at warfare, so vicious in his raids, and so brutal when he captured enemies? 
    How was his relationship with the Pope in Rome? 
    Which other conquerors were fighting him at the time? 
    Why was there so much friction with the Ottoman Empire? 
    Learn about this, as well as his background, his marriage, his death, and his legacy. Find out why vampire stories have been derived from this dictator, and why he has been listed as one of the evilest people in history.

    This book delves into the spiritual virtues that anchor and guide us toward a deeper connection with the divine. By embracing Faith, Trust in God, and Reverence, we develop a strong spiritual foundation that nurtures our relationship with God and fosters a life filled with devotion, peace, and purpose. These virtues are central to cultivating a life of spiritual commitment, love, and dedication. 
    Faith is the cornerstone of spiritual devotion. This section emphasizes the importance of believing in something greater than ourselves, even when faced with doubt or uncertainty. Faith in God allows us to see beyond the immediate challenges and trust that His plan for us is purposeful. It nurtures hope, provides guidance, and fosters resilience in the face of adversity. With faith, we find strength in moments of weakness and clarity in times of confusion. 
    Trust in God goes hand in hand with faith but focuses more specifically on surrendering our worries and uncertainties to God. This section explores how trust in God allows us to relinquish control and fully rely on His wisdom and timing. Trusting in God means believing that He is always with us, guiding our path, and providing the grace we need, even in moments of doubt or hardship. It nurtures a profound sense of peace and security, knowing that God’s love and guidance are unwavering. 
    Reverence involves a deep respect and awe for the divine. This part highlights the importance of showing honor, humility, and deep admiration for God's holiness. Reverence calls us to approach life with a sense of sacredness, recognizing the presence of the divine in all aspects of creation. It encourages us to live in a way that reflects our reverence for God, through acts of kindness, gratitude, and devotion. Reverence strengthens our spiritual connection and inspires us to live a life that honors the divine in all things.

    Stop worrying about taking notes, losing track of what you've learned or working out what to learn next. This course guides you through the Mandarin language step by step. Each new question adds a tiny building block to what you already know rather than introducing entirely new sentences and telling you to memorize them. Instead you can intuitively build up an understanding of the language through incremental logical steps.Each word introduced is repeated throughout the course using a spaced repetition system. That means first at roughly 10 seconds, then 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5, 10, 20, 40, 1 hour etc until it becomes become fixed in your mind. Sentences throughout the course deliberately make use of vocabulary you learned earlier, so words are naturally revised without a deliberate focus on doing so.Grammar, tones and pronunciation are all taught but never drilled. Instead they are incorporated into each question.

    Oliver's well-researched biography of Mansa Musa reads like an exotic tale of gold, glory, and adventure. During his long reign as Mali's emperor, Mansa Musa led his empire into its Golden Age; presided over a spectacular, 60,000 person, 9,000 mile pilgrimage; founded a university in Timbuktu; and helped revolutionize architecture across the Sudan. Oliver does not allow Musa's story to get bogged down in detail by seamlessly weaving a lot of history into his narrative and by supplying curious readers with an extensive description. 
    Many of the African ancestors of today's African-Americans came from West Africa. From 700 -- 1600 A. D., one after the other, three great, black, commercial empires dominated West Africa. They were powerful, prosperous, complex, stable -- and large. At its height, the Empire of Mali was the size of all of Western Europe.
