Описание:

An edited version of the text Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals--omitting much of the legal analysis and concentrating on an extraordinary range of trials

To try an animal in a court of law for "crimes" and then sentence it to imprisonment or death seems barbaric, but for hundreds of years until the mid-19th century this practice was commonplace in Europe, and became the subject of a book called Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals. They include: an eight-month trial of a flock of weevils, for damaging vines--although the insects were found guilty, the sentence is unknown because the foot of the relevant parchment was eaten by insects. A pig tried found guilty of strangling and killing a baby in its cradle--the sentence was death and the pig was hanged. A group of rats who were summoned to court for eating the local barley, but failed to turn up--their defense counsel successfully argued that they had probably not received the summons and should be let off. There were even trials of inanimate objects, such as a Russian bell put on trial for abetting insurrection. It was found guilty and exiled to Siberia.

Описание: This book provides an eye-opening expose that reveals the behavior of economics professors based on the highly questionable incentive system they face. It is particularly critical of the theoretical literature they produce as if they were contestants in a superficial publication game-a game where scientific integrity is often ignored.

Описание:

Six essays by Albert Payson Terhune, author of Lad: A Dog, on men in history who have been irresistible to women. Originally published in magazines in 1918. The men covered are: Lord Byron, Napoleon, Jonathan Swift, Alexandre Dumas, Marshal Saxe, and Fr d ric Chopin. The book can be considered a companion, of sorts, to Terhune's series of articles (some of which were compiled as a book in 1916) on "Superwomen."
