How Roman law has influenced European legal and political thought from antiquity to the present day.

Cars of all shapes, colors, and sizes--including an igloo ice-fueled polar car and an eco-friendly car that runs on air--are presented in illustrations and rhyme

Trucks! Counting! Tire-eating aliens! This wonderful, rhyming, super-silly book has it ALL...including Bob Staake's awesome artwork. THE RUNAWAY NO-WHEELER is a clever spin on a counting book and the perennial favorite, a book starring trucks. Tony is a sturdy, long-hauling 18-wheeler with a delivery to make, but many obstacles are in the way -- from potholes to slime to rescue missions to aliens' space rockets. In the style of counting classics like Dr. Seuss' Ten Apples Up on Top -- though in this case, subtractive counting -- Tony finds himself losing wheel after wheel with each hurdle he encounters. Will he be able to make his delivery?

This edition of one of Shakespeare's best known and most frequently performed plays argues for Julius Caesar as a new kind of political play, a radical departure from contemporary practice, combining fast action and immediacy with compelling rhetorical language, and finding a clear context for its study of tyranny in the last decade of the reign of Elizabeth 1. The richly experimental verse and the complex structure of the play are analysed in depth, and a strong case is made for this to be the first play to be performed at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.'Daniell's edition is a hefty piece of serious scholarship that makes a genuine contribution.'Eric Rasmussen, University of Nevada at Reno, Shakespeare Survey'This is a stimulating new look at a play which is too often exhibited in a critical museum.'

Das Buch thematisiert die Beweggründe hinter dem Verhalten von Demagogen und Rassisten, die oft mit gefährlichen Ideologien und Vorurteilen agieren. Es stellt provokante Fragen zu den Ursachen solcher Einstellungen, wie familiäre Einflüsse, genetische Faktoren oder charakterliche Defizite. Der Autor beleuchtet die Absurditäten in den Äußerungen von Verschwörungstheoretikern und Rechtspopulisten und fragt, ob es möglich ist, dass diese Menschen sich gelegentlich beherrschen könnten. Humor und Ernsthaftigkeit vermischen sich in dieser kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit der Gesellschaft.
