      Renowned legal historian Lawrence Friedman presents an accessible and authoritative history of American law from the colonial era to the present day. This fully revised fourth edition incorporates the latest research to bring this classic work into the twenty-first century. In addition to looking closely at timely issues like race relations, the book covers the changing configurations of commercial law, criminal law, family law, and the law of property. Friedman furthermore interrogates the vicissitudes of the legal profession and legal education. The underlying theory of this eminently readable book is that the law is the product of society. In this way, we can view the history of the legal system through a sociological prism as it has evolved over the years.

      Throughout America’s history, our laws have been a reflection of who we are, of what we value, of who has control. They embody our society’s genetic code. In the masterful hands of the subject’s greatest living historian, the story of the evolution of our laws serves to lay bare the deciding struggles over power and justice that have shaped this country from its birth pangs to the present. Law in America is a supreme example of the historian’s art, its brevity a testament to the great elegance and wit of its composition.

      A compelling investigation of historically unpunished murders by a respected legal theorist. Lawrence M. Friedman compares different examples of unpunished homicides including early vigilante justice, crimes of passion and mercy killings, and argues that the basis of these 'crimes without punishment' are conflicts in social and cultural norms.

    • Das faszinierende Leben und Werk von Erich Fromm wird in dieser umfassenden Biographie detailliert dargestellt und bietet zugleich einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Psychologie im 20. Jahrhundert. Fromm (1900-1980), Psychologe, Psychoanalytiker, Philosoph und Friedensaktivist, zählt zu den einflussreichsten Denkern seiner Zeit. Mit Werken wie "Die Kunst des Liebens" erreichte er Millionen von Menschen weltweit. Diese Biographie beleuchtet seine Lebensstationen, beginnend mit seiner Kindheit in einer jüdischen Familie in Frankfurt, über seine Tätigkeit am renommierten Frankfurter Institut für Sozialforschung und die Pionierzeit der Psychoanalyse bis zu seinen prägenden Jahren in New York und den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten in Mexiko. In den 1930er-Jahren wird er zum scharfsinnigen Gesellschaftskritiker und Humanisten, entwickelt das Konzept des "sozialen Charakters" und beschäftigt sich intensiv mit menschlicher Aggressivität. Angesichts von Hitler, Stalin und dem Kalten Krieg wird er zu einem engagierten Pazifisten und Mitbegründer von Amnesty International. Seine Botschaft der Liebe und Vision einer humanen, friedlichen globalen Gesellschaft sind auch in der heutigen Zeit von großer Relevanz. Diese akribisch recherchierte Biographie, die auf bisher unerschlossenen historischen Quellen basiert, bietet ein eindrucksvolles Porträt einer faszinierenden Persönlichkeit.
