Sinossi

"Ancient Law" explores the historical origins of modern legal systems by examining the legal codes, court systems, and concepts of justice in ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It argues that fundamental legal principles such as fairness and the rule of law, often taken for granted today, have roots in these early societies. The book uniquely compares different ancient legal systems, revealing common themes and divergent approaches, and providing a broader understanding of legal evolution.

 
The book traces the evolution of legal principles from rudimentary retribution to more sophisticated justice notions and examines the development of legal institutions from informal dispute resolutions to formalized court systems. For instance, the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest known legal codes, reveals much about ancient societal values and punishments.

 
Understanding the social, political, and economic contexts of these ancient laws is crucial, as it sheds light on the assumptions embedded within our current legal structures. The approach taken in "Ancient Law" is academic, utilizing both primary and secondary sources to ensure a comprehensive analysis.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with an introduction to basic concepts such as offenses and punishments, moving to the evolution of court systems, and concluding with an analysis of the lasting influence of ancient law on modern legal systems. This historical and political exploration is intended for those interested in legal history or political science.

    Book 2 of 3: Hardy has a hot lead that could finally provide him with answers to his questions. Together with Madeline, Frank, Dimitrij and Esra, he takes the dangerous journey and finds new allies in Harry and his community. But Hardy's fight against the creature has left traces that are becoming more and more obvious and seem inexplicable. After a brutal attack on Madeline, the community is surprisingly attacked by undead. With an old locomotive, they cross the vast steppes of Russia and repeatedly get into dicey situations. Shortly before Moscow, a ruthless and well-organized group appears in an attack helicopter, who only want one thing - Hardy. Using Madeline and Frank as leverage, Hardy complies with every request from Castor, a sick psychopath. Hardy meets would-be philanthropist Lydia, who resides in a well-protected mansion and apparently knows more about him than he does. Over dinner, the situation between the parties escalates and Hardy finds himself in a seemingly hopeless situation. Meanwhile, a horde of undead makes its way to the supposedly safe estate. The chaos is pre-programmed. Denny N. Dwight's cliché-laden declaration of love to the horror and action films of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s enters its second round. Again, he makes use of numerous quotes and allusions from films of these eras. In addition, the author brings up many topics that have been making the rounds among conspiracy theorists for years.

    A spellbinding exploration of the human capacity to imagine the future  
     
    Our ability to think about the future is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. In The Invention of Tomorrow, cognitive scientists Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw, and Adam Bulley argue that its emergence transformed humans from unremarkable primates to creatures that hold the destiny of the planet in their hands.  
     
    Drawing on their own cutting-edge research, the authors break down the science of foresight, showing us where it comes from, how it works, and how it made our world. Journeying through biology, psychology, history, and culture, they show that thinking ahead is at the heart of human nature—even if we often get it terribly wrong. Incisive and expansive, The Invention of Tomorrow offers a fresh perspective on the human tale that shows how our species clawed its way to control the future.

    The Sport and Prey of Capitalists

    Why are we selling off the impressive public enterprises we often battled as a nation to create? 
     
    In the early 1900s, thousands of Canadians battled wealthy interests, winning control of Niagara Falls and creating a public power company. Another popular movement succeeded in creating Canada’s public broadcasting system to counter American dominance of the airwaves. And a Canadian doctor established a publicly owned laboratory that saved countless lives by producing affordable medications, contributing to medical breakthroughs and helping to eradicate smallpox throughout the world. 
     
    But in recent decades, we have allowed our inspiring public enterprises to be privatized and our vital public programs downsized, leaving us increasingly dominated by the forces of private greed that rule the marketplace. 
     
    In The Sport and Prey of Capitalists, Linda McQuaig challenges the dogma of privatization, which has defined our political era. She argues that now more than ever, as we grapple with climate change and income inequality, we need to expand, not shrink, our public sphere.
