| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Americans tend to think that the law of the land is the first of its kind, when in reality, complex legal systems have governed other cultures for centuries. This book looks at the ancient law codes that range from just to ruthless and how legal culture develops. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
