Описание: As a Europe grew rich in the Middle Ages, the well-made clothes, linens, and wares of households often substituted for hard currency. Pawnbrokers kept goods in circulation, and sergeants of the law marched into debtors` homes to seize belongings equal in value to debts owed. David Smail describes a material world on the cusp of modern capitalism.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the ideas and practices of justice in Europe underwent significant change as procedures were transformed and criminal and civil caseloads grew apace. Drawing on the rich judicial records of Marseille from the years 1264 to 1423, especially records of civil litigation, this book approaches the courts of law from the perspective of the users of the courts (the consumers of justice) and explains why men and women chose to invest resources in the law.Daniel Lord Smail shows that the courts were quickly adopted as a public stage on which litigants could take revenge on their enemies. Even as the new legal system served the interest of royal or communal authority, it also provided the consumers of justice with a way to broadcast their hatreds and social sanctions to a wider audience and negotiate their own community standing in the process. The emotions that had driven bloodfeuds and other forms of customary vengeance thus never went away, and instead were fully incorporated into the new procedures.

Описание: Sometimes you need to read things from a different perspective, even when the storytellers are autistic... The story begins with 18 year old Arnold Holt, an unemployed teenager from Orpington who suffers from a form of mild autism, or Aspergers Syndrome. After an unexpected incident after a routinely visit to his late friend from the cemetery, Arnold is advised by his father to change his visit to another date which seems a simple idea, but for Arnold it involves rewriting the mental diary inside his head which he has used to survive the gruelling experience of being "on the dole". But after a bizarre accident in the garden with his pet rabbit, things turn into a much darker scenario and Arnold turns to a certain novel given to him by his former helper Mrs Leslie and uses it to help determine his next step in life. It soon turns into a whole new adventure for Arnold and his family, especially for his father Geoffrey who goes into a complete mental breakdown once he realises what his son had done. Sooner or later Geoffrey would have to take centre stage, even if it would mean changing Arnold's ways, which for an autistic person is extremely difficult to do.
