Sinopse

The Codex Hammurabi is a monumental work that stands as one of the earliest examples of written law in human history, encapsulating an extensive compilation of legal principles from ancient Mesopotamia. Written in Akkadian, this stone stele epitomizes the stylistic grandeur of Babylonian literature, employing a formal structure that codifies over 280 laws encompassing various aspects of daily life, commerce, and justice. The text reveals the socio-political landscape of 18th century BCE Babylon, offering insights into the values and norms that governed society, while its proclamations illustrate the king's role as a god-given authority upholding order and fairness in his realm. Hammurabi, the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, has been immortalized for his pioneering contributions to law and governance, which likely stemmed from his desire to unify a diverse population under a coherent legal framework. His leadership during a time marked by conflict and migration reflects a profound understanding of the social fabric, motivating his enactment of these laws, which sought to establish equity and deter injustice. The Codex serves not only as a legal document but also as a testament to Hammurabi's vision of civil order. This essential text is highly recommended for anyone interested in legal history, ancient cultures, or the evolution of governance. Its thorough exploration of law, morality, and social contract remains relevant today, inviting readers to reflect on the foundations of justice and societal structure. Engaging with the Codex Hammurabi provides invaluable context for contemporary legal systems and the enduring quest for equitable governance.

    DR. RANDALL W. JONES HAS INVENTED A LOT OF THINGS (he’s named on twenty US patents and patents pending), but he’s still on a quest to create the perfect cancer-detection device. In The Healthcare Disruptor, he discusses how anyone can be an inventor/innovator with the right tools. This book provides inspiration and instruction for entrepreneurs forging their own paths to success. Whether you’re taking on a powerful corporate giant, challenging your industry’s norms, or simply trying to understand how to take your first step in business, Dr. Jones has the answers."Healthcare is in crisis,” he says. “The system is broken." There’s too much emphasis on quantity instead of quality, and too many folks are on the take of big corporations. Major manufacturers and the insurance industry discourage managers from significantly improving their operation and healthcare delivery. But there are ways to change the system.

    ‘Should be required reading for those who care about how society treats our most vulnerable citizens.’ Louise Allen 
    When the system fails the parents, how can it protect the children? 
    Welcome to the secretive world of the Family Court. 
    What's it like to act for a father who has recently overcome his drug problem but risks losing his beloved son to foster care? 
    Or to represent a young mother whose abusive childhood has left her depressed and struggling to cope, to the point where the local authority is seeking to persuade the Family Court to place her small children for adoption? 
    The Family Court makes life-changing decisions about the most vulnerable children in England and Wales behind closed doors. It's an institution tasked with protecting the youngers most at risk, but how often does it make the right decisions? 
    In this hard-hitting account of her work representing parents in care proceedings in the Family Court, child protection lawyer Teresa Thornhill conveys the dilemmas inherent in the job and shows how our under-resourced system of child protection – in both its social work and legal aspects – often fails to provide support that could enable the most vulnerable parents to continue to care for their children. 
    ‘A vivid account of all the terrible things that can happen to children and all the challenges facing lawyers and social workers in our child protection system which is meant to help and protect them but which struggles to do so. It doesn’t have to be this way so what can be done about it?’  – Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE, Formerly President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. 
    ‘This timely book resonated with my experiences as a children’s social worker and probation officer; it’s a refreshingly honest account of our dysfunctional child protection system.’ – Joanna Hughes, former children’s social worker and probation officer. 
    Thornhill's In Harm’s Way is a compelling autobiography that delves into the personal experiences of those entangled in the courts and enforcement system. This non-fiction memoir is a biography of the system itself, highlighting its shortcomings and the urgent need for reform.
