Synopsis

Folk Law Origins explores the fascinating realm of unwritten laws and their crucial role in shaping early societies. It examines how communities maintained order and resolved disputes through folk law, relying on oral tradition to transmit legal norms across generations. Cultural enforcement mechanisms, such as social pressure and ritual practices, ensured compliance, highlighting the sophisticated social regulation present even without formal legal systems.

 
The book argues that these unwritten laws, far from being primitive, represent a highly adaptable framework for social order. It presents case studies from diverse cultures and historical periods to demonstrate how these laws shaped social interactions. For example, storytelling and community leaders played key roles in preserving and enforcing folk law.

 
The book progresses from introducing fundamental concepts like oral tradition and cultural enforcement to exploring their legacies in contemporary legal systems. Through its interdisciplinary approach, drawing on anthropology, history, and legal studies, Folk Law Origins offers a unique perspective on the origins of law. It sheds light on customary law, indigenous rights, and dispute resolution, making it valuable for those interested in the history of legal systems and social sciences.

Meeting of Minds - Volume IV

Steve Allen

By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are American social reformer Frederick Douglass, formidable Chinese Empress Tz'u-his, Italian criminologist Cesare Bonesana-Beccaria, and French libertine Marquis de Sade.

The Greatest Viking - The Life...

Desmond Seward

A ruthless Viking warrior who named his most prized battle weapon after the Norse goddess of death, Olav Haraldsson and his mercenaries wrought terror and destruction from the Baltic to Galicia in the early eleventh century. Thousands were put to the sword, enslaved, or ransomed. In England, Canterbury was sacked, its archbishop murdered, and London Bridge pulled down. The loot amassed from years of plunder helped Olav win the throne of Norway, and a century after his death he was proclaimed "Eternal King" and has been a national hero there ever since. 
 
 
 
Despite his bloodthirsty beginnings, Olav converted to Christianity and, in a personal vendetta against the old Norse gods, made Norway Christian too, thereby changing irrevocably the Viking world he was born into. Told with reference to Norse sagas, early chronicles, and the work of modern scholars, Desmond Seward paints an intensely vivid and colorful portrait of the life and times of arguably the greatest Viking of them all.
