Sinopse

Lawsuit Absurdities examines seemingly bizarre legal cases to reveal deeper societal values and evolving legal standards. The book investigates disputes ranging from personal injury claims against corporations to pet custody battles, offering insights into how the legal system adapts to modern challenges. Did you know that some lawsuits against fast-food chains argue corporate accountability for obesity? Or that courts are increasingly grappling with the legal status of pets, moving beyond considering them mere property? The book explores the tension between individual responsibility and corporate accountability in personal injury lawsuits, highlighting the shift from "buyer beware" to an expectation of greater corporate responsibility. It also traces the changing role of pets in society, influencing legal decisions about their welfare. By analyzing these "frivolous lawsuits," the book provides a framework for understanding the historical context of tort law and contract law and emphasizes the complexities of applying established legal frameworks to contemporary problems. 

 
The book begins by defining "frivolous" lawsuits before diving into personal injury cases and pet custody disputes. It uses court documents, legal briefs, and social science research to support its analysis. Ultimately, Lawsuit Absurdities encourages a nuanced understanding of the legal process and its impact on public policy, individual behavior, and perceptions of justice.

    An unprecedented look at secret documents showing the deliberate nature of the Armenian genocideIntroducing new evidence from more than 600 secret Ottoman documents, this book demonstrates in unprecedented detail that the Armenian Genocide and the expulsion of Greeks from the late Ottoman Empire resulted from an official effort to rid the empire of its Christian subjects. Presenting these previously inaccessible documents along with expert context and analysis, Taner Akçam's most authoritative work to date goes deep inside the bureaucratic machinery of Ottoman Turkey to show how a dying empire embraced genocide and ethnic cleansing.Although the deportation and killing of Armenians was internationally condemned in 1915 as a "crime against humanity and civilization," the Ottoman government initiated a policy of denial that is still maintained by the Turkish Republic. The case for Turkey's "official history" rests on documents from the Ottoman imperial archives, to which access has been heavily restricted until recently. It is this very source that Akçam now uses to overturn the official narrative.The documents presented here attest to a late-Ottoman policy of Turkification, the goal of which was no less than the radical demographic transformation of Anatolia. To that end, about one-third of Anatolia's 15 million people were displaced, deported, expelled, or massacred, destroying the ethno-religious diversity of an ancient cultural crossroads of East and West, and paving the way for the Turkish Republic.By uncovering the central roles played by demographic engineering and assimilation in the Armenian Genocide, this book will fundamentally change how this crime is understood and show that physical destruction is not the only aspect of the genocidal process.
