The Law Book (Big Ideas) *ePub
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.

Why Must Read The Law Book (Big Ideas)?
Everyone loves DK books, theyre all great. That one was on sale and part of the "buy 2 get 1 free" promotion. I'm a law student, and some books are so boring and complicated. Still need to go through them but I also like light books. All of the teachers I had until now have been really funny which told me I really want to work in a legal environment. Anyway I expected this book to be more like a pocket book with fun facts. But it arrived and it's a hard cover big book! It's also centered around a timeline, so it is more a book about a broad history of the law which is great. I like it but it's definitely not a book I can read at the beach or on the bus, it's almost a coffee table book. Nice job I love it! DK did it again.
