Legal terminology need not be intimidating or obscure. This is the ideal introduction to the meaning of the core vocabulary which confronts anyone approaching the study of Law for the first time. It includes clear explanations of Latin words and phrases. The 2nd edition has been thoroughly updated and revised throughout.

Why do some rules have the status of law while others do not? Is law simply a matter of rules anyway? What is justice? Is there a duty to obey a law even if it is unjust? Should the law concern itself with the activities of consenting adults in private? Legal Theory asks questions such as these, discusses topical issues such as animal rights and assisted suicide, and explains some of the answers which legal theorists have given from Ancient Greece to the present day.

Legal Method commonly refers to a set of techniques used to analyse, handle sources and apply the law and to determine the appropriate weight that should be accorded to different sources of law.

John Madison Darwin is a stand-up guy. He's in his early thirties, and the ennui and apathy of his moderate-success as a government statistician has caught up with him. After a (disappointingly anticlimactic) breakup with his longtime girlfriend while writing an aimless parody of a popular poem, he decides to embark on a journey to fulfill his lifelong dream: to appear as a guest on his favorite comedy news program. In order to do this, he sets out writing the worst possible novel he can...DEAD TREE VERSION is a satirical, parodic comedy that is "an assault on pop-culture, subculture, counterculture--and good taste."

Another book of poetry by the incisive and witty Ian McLeod. This book is somewhat darker, shorter, and more to the point than BILGE PUMP OF A TURGID MIND, his previous offering. A writers' writer, he irreverently tackles politics, economics, physics, and theology in this collection of 26 of his latest poems--ranging from the laugh-out-loud hilarious to the patently offensive. This book will enrage, enthrall, enlighten, and most importantly, entertain.
