520    Why do we need laws? What rights are protected by law? 
       When was forensic evidence first used in court? This book 
       explores big questions like these, explaining the laws and
       legal precedents, and religious, political, and moral 
       codes that have shaped the world we live in. Written in 
       plain English, The Law Book cuts through the legal jargon 
       and is packed with pithy explanations of the most 
       important milestones in legal history, with step-by-step 
       diagrams and witty illustrations that untangle knotty 
       concepts.--|cAmazon.
