Summary

Ridiculous Lawsuits delves into the world of bizarre legal battles, exploring real-life cases that seem too strange to be true. This collection of essays provides insights into the legal system's handling of unusual disputes, revealing how tort law and contract law intersect with human behavior at its most peculiar. The book questions the subjectivity of justice, asking how the legal system navigates claims involving everything from pet custody to hurt feelings.

 
The book examines the potential for abuse within the legal system, highlighting cases where individuals may exploit its mechanisms for personal gain. Each case is meticulously researched, drawing upon court documents and news reports to present an objective account. Ridiculous Lawsuits begins by defining what constitutes a "ridiculous" lawsuit, then moves into thematic chapters focusing on food-related disputes, animal-related cases, and outlandish personal grievances.

 
Ultimately, the book argues that these unusual cases, while seemingly frivolous, offer valuable insights into the human condition and the limits of legal reasoning. Although these lawsuits may appear to be strange, they demonstrate the importance of having a legal system that allows anyone to be heard.

  • Albigensian Crusade and Hussite Wars The: The History of the Catholic Campaigns against Christian Minorities in Europe before the Protestant Reformation - cover

    Albigensian Crusade and Hussite...

    Editors Charles River

    Eastern Christians did not acknowledge the Pope's supremacy, and many Catholics felt that it was lawful for him to declare a crusade to bring schismatics back to the obedience of Rome. German knights fighting the Orthodox Russians at the Battle on the Ice in 1242 believed this, as did the Hungarian prosecutors of the 1235 invasion of Bosnia, which was thinly disguised as a crusade. The Church even extended the object of crusade to believers in communion with Rome, who refused to obey lawful authority. After peasants revolted against the Prince-Archbishop of Bremen in 1204 over tithes and land rights, Pope Gregory IX was persuaded to declare them heretics and proclaim a crusade against them, and when the “heresy” of Catharism began to take root in southeastern France toward the end of the 12th century, both Church and State considered the use of force to extirpate it. 
    If John Wycliffe was the “Morning Star of the Reformation,” Jan Hus was the Guiding Star of the movement. Hus started as a Czech priest, but he quickly became notorious for debating several Church doctrines such as the Eucharist, Church ecclesiology, and many more topics. Today, he is viewed as a predecessor of the Lutherans, but the Church viewed him as a threat, and the Catholics eventually engaged Hus’ followers (known as Hussites) in several battles in the early 15th century. Hus himself was burned at the stake in 1415, but his followers fought on in a series of battles known as the Hussite Wars, and Czechoslovakia’s inhabitants by and large remained Hussite afterward. About 100 years later, Martin Luther would spark the Reformation across the continents. 
    The Albigensian Crusade and Hussite Wars: The History of the Catholic Campaigns against Christian Minorities in Europe before the Protestant Reformation examines the origins of the Cathars and Hussites, the conflicts with Catholicism, and the results of the fighting.

    A prizewinning journalist with a background in neuroscience, Helen Thomson spent years tracking down people who live with the world's most extraordinary neurological disorders—like a man who tried to break his back because his legs no longer felt like his own, and another who believed that he was dead for nine years. Not content to simply read about these cases on paper, Thomson reached out to ten people with these afflictions, and they agreed to tell her their stories. 
    Leaving behind the scans and the clinical histories, Unthinkable ties the first-ever interviews with the people who have these rare conditions together with cutting-edge science. Through these incredible tales, Thomson casts a light on the chaos that the human mind can create. She shows us how these strange conditions hold the keys to unlocking the biggest mysteries of the human brain, and provide a deeper understanding of the human condition itself. 
    Combining careful observation with bold science and vibrant storytelling, Unthinkable takes us on a deep dive into the weirdest corners of our brain, and helps us to see our own creativity, our emotions, and our consciousness more clearly.
