Sobre este título
Step into the curious side of history where the law takes unexpected turns. The Curious World of Law uncovers some of the strangest, funniest, and most surprising rules that societies have ever created. From ancient codes and forgotten regulations to modern laws that still leave us scratching our heads, this book explores how human culture, fear, and creativity shaped the world’s most unusual statutes.
Why was it once illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas in England? Why does Switzerland require guinea pigs to have a companion? How did entire cities ban simple acts like whistling, dancing, or chewing gum? Behind each bizarre rule lies a story of tradition, politics, or values that reveals something deeper about the people who lived under them.
With a blend of history, education, and humor, George H. Mansik takes listeners on a global tour through laws that shaped daily life in unexpected ways.
Entertaining and thought-provoking, this book proves that what seems odd today was often serious business yesterday—and reminds us that even the strangest laws can teach us something about ourselves
