A New York Times Editors' Choice Book Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Literary Hub and Goodreads A playful history of the humble index and its outsized effect on our reading lives. Most of us give little thought to the back of the book—it’s just where you go to look things up. But as Dennis Duncan reveals in this delightful and witty history, hiding in plain sight is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. In the pages of the index, we might find Butchers, to be avoided, or Cows that sh-te Fire, or even catch Calvin in his chamber with a Nonne. Here, for the first time, is the secret world of the index: an unsung but extraordinar...

This centenary volume of essays explores a number of related themes which differentiate and characterize the approach of the LSE. Central to this, is the assumption that law is one of the social sciences and that law should be studied "in context" as a social phenomenon. The contributors havebeen chosen both for their distinction and for their connection with the LSE, and include such eminent figures as Mrs Justice Arden, Judge Rosalyn Higgins, Sir Stephen Sedley, and Roberto Mangabeira Unger.The essays focus on three main subject areas: Law and Economy; Dimensions of Law; and Courts and Process which are discussed against the broader canvas of the School's approach to Law .

Human right concept (including its assumed particulars) was until the immediate post-World War 11 era referred to as natural right; and same derived from natural law (a concept in philosophy discourse). It has in todays world of politics and positive law, among others, assumed the status of universal core value presumed to bind together all human persons. Despite the unanimity of opinions in terms of the assumed characteristics of the particulars of the universal-human right, divergences bedevil views on the assumed particulars of human right. Such divergences largely emanate from weak knowledge of the historical evolution, including the epistemological and logical foundation of natural (human) right. This book gives an insightful overview of the historical foundation and the epistemology of natural (human) right; including its being a logical derivative/efflux from the humanness of every person which equally remain inherent in all persons. It concludes with the view that all assumed human rights enunciated in the different global declarations and conventions constitute category mistake by virtue of their phenomenal and social characteristics.
