Summary
Why do we need laws？ What rights are protected by law？ When was forensic evidence first used in court？
This book explores big questions like these， explaining the laws and legal precedents， and religious， political， and moral codes that have shaped the world we live in。 Written in plain English， The Law Book cuts through the legal jargon and is packed with pithy explanations of the most important milestones in legal history， with step-by-step diagrams and witty illustrations that untangle knotty concepts。
From the earliest laws， such as the Code of Hammurabi， through groundbreaking legislation including Magna Carta and the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act， The Law Book offers an engaging overview of legal history across the world all the way into the 21st century with copyright in the digital age， same-sex marriage， and the "right to be forgotten"。 Covering the fight for universal suffrage and workers' rights， and the establishment of international legal bodies like INTERPOL and the European Court of Justice， The Law Book explains the stories behind each milestone development。
Continuing the Big Ideas series' trademark combination of authoritative， informative text， and bold graphics， The Law Book uses an innovative visual approach to make the subject accessible to everyone， whether you're a law student， a legal professional， or an armchair expert。

This book is amazing for anyone interested in legal theory and history。 It's almost impossible to find another type book that has this type of summarized material involving the history of law and legal theory。 This book is amazing for anyone interested in legal theory and history。 It's almost impossible to find another type book that has this type of summarized material involving the history of law and legal theory。 。。。more

You might expect from this book to deal with the technicalities of law across history of mankind， but its purpose is actually to provide perspectives from various aspects of our modern life， who have been challenged by disputes or lack of rights during past times。 While it sheds light on landmark moments， such as Magna Carta or Bill of Rights， it also focuses on the factors which have brought revolutionary changes towards modern mindsets。 The last part of the book is dedicated to the modern era You might expect from this book to deal with the technicalities of law across history of mankind， but its purpose is actually to provide perspectives from various aspects of our modern life， who have been challenged by disputes or lack of rights during past times。 While it sheds light on landmark moments， such as Magna Carta or Bill of Rights， it also focuses on the factors which have brought revolutionary changes towards modern mindsets。 The last part of the book is dedicated to the modern era and its plethora of organizations and movements that steered our world to its current flow。 Overall another great， enjoyable， and insightful handbook from DK 。 。。。more
