The law is an ass, said Dickens. If he had seen some of what we have collected here he would be more convinced than ever that his assertion was true. From the sheer comedy of parking elephants, not shooting buffalo and definitely not having sex with porcupines to the more worrying legislation against women, homosexuals and people from minority groups, this is a compilation from around the world of the more bizarre and disturbing actions of law-making bodies. A lot of this crazy law seems to come from US states –not a slur, just a fact. America is so multi-ethnic, cultural and religious that strange fusions were bound to emerge in some states. Strangely it seems that most have succumbed to this unfortunate disease at one time or other. See what weird laws apply where you are today!!

The law has never been funnier or crazier--and this book (now in a brand-new format) contains the proof! In an age of litigation run rampant, lawsuits have become increasingly bizarre--not to mention downright silly. It may seen obvious that junk food makes you fat, or that if you fall into an ornamental rock garden it will hurt, but some people need a big warning sign. From convicted criminals to forgetful senators and gambling-crazy moms, everyone, it seems, needs protecting from themselves. Some chancers walk away with a big check, but readers can render their own verdicts on barely injured sports stars, warring neighbors, aggrieved former pet owners, angry husbands, furious wives, and kids who think, "To hell with the inheritance, I'm suing Mom and Dad.”

Since becoming a province in 1905, the Alberta government enacted many laws to match the wild spirit of the frontier. Later, the unique character of the people spawned many more. Read about some of the quirky laws Alberta has hidden in its books: * In 1914, municipal leaders in the town of Ponoka banned the building of mud huts with straw roofs because they were considered a fire hazard * In 1938, any cat in Fort Saskatchewan caught not wearing a bell was considered to be ''an enemy to the Song Birds,'' and its owner could face a fine of $10 or a week in the hoosegow * Legend has it that at one time, criminals who served their time in an Albertan prison were sent on their way with a loaded gun and a horse * The curfew instituted by the city of Red Deer puts the responsibility squarely on the parents; if a peace officer escorts your child home after hours, you can expect at least a $50 fine, or $100 for a second offence * As recently as 1968, it was illegal for residents in the town of Falher to attend horse races, horse race meetings, dog races, boxing contests or wrestling matches on Sundays * And more bizarre and just plain strange laws in Alberta...

Strange, outdated laws from each of the 50 U.S. states—some overturned, some still on the books, and some merely the stuff of legends—are depicted with sly wit by Olivia Locher. Incisive, ironic, and gorgeous, these images will appeal to art buffs and trivia fans alike. A foreword from American poet Kenneth Goldsmith and an interview with the artist by Eric Shiner, former director of the Andy Warhol Museum, contextualize rising-star Locher's photography. From serving wine in teacups in Kansas to licking a toad in Kentucky or perming a child's hair in Nebraska, breaking the law has never looked so good.

Did you know that, as of 2013, it is illegal to unlock your smartphone in the United States? Not only is it illegal, you may be fined up to $500,000 and/or be imprisoned for up 5 years. Crazy? Maybe. I stumbled across this unique (a.k.a. crazy) law while reading a newspaper article. I have since found that there are hundreds of laws like this one, not just in the United States but, all over the world. Some are currently being enforced; many are still on the "books" even though they are outdated; some are simply ludicrous and should never have even been been proposed. This book is a direct result of these findings. It is a compilation of the many unique, weird, funny, crazy, mad laws in the world.

'A landmark in social thought. Henrich may go down as the most influential social scientist of the first half of the twenty-first century' MATTHEW SYED Do you identify yourself by your profession or achievements, rather than your family network? Do you cultivate your unique attributes and goals? If so, perhaps you are WEIRD: raised in a society that is Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic. Unlike most who have ever lived, WEIRD people are highly individualistic, nonconformist, analytical and control-oriented. How did WEIRD populations become so psychologically peculiar? What part did these differences play in our history, and what do they mean for our collective identity? Joseph Henrich, who developed the game-changing concept of WEIRD, uses leading-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics and evolutionary biology to explore how changing family structures, marriage practices and religious beliefs in the Middle Ages shaped the Western mind, laying the foundations for the world we know today. Brilliant, provocative, engaging and surprising, this landmark study will revolutionize your understanding of who - and how - we are now. 'Phenomenal ... The only theory I am aware of that attempts to explain broad patterns of human psychology on a global scale' Washington Post 'You will never look again in the same way at your own seemingly universal values' Uta Frith, Professor of Cognitive Development, University College London
