Book Description
Maybe you have always had an interest in law, or the Irish Legal System, and just want a manageable book to start you off. Then an introduction to the Irish Legal System is the book for you. Have you ever wanted to know about the law in Ireland but every time you picked up any textbooks or even articles you were completely put off by the terminology.? Were you feeling that you would have to learn a whole new language just to be able to read it, let alone understand it.? Well look no further; my books are compiled so that all of the terminology, rules and principles are explained in plain English, leaving you to enjoy learning about the law in Ireland without the headache of terminology and confounding principles. Welcome to my series of law textbooks for beginners. When you first start reading law, the terminology (wording), doctrines (procedural steps, or tests) or principles (rules) can be overwhelming. This book has been compiled to give you a baseline introduction to the Irish Legal System, "the bones" you could call it, it is not intended to be a complete breakdown of Administrative and Constitutional law. It is a great starter book for those who are new to the subject of Irish law. This book covers topics such as the Irish court system, organs of state, legislative processes, lawyers, the common law, legislation, the European Union, human rights, legal theory, constitutional law and jurisprudence.

Author: C. Jack Trickler
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449045782
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
This history of the origins and development of Christian denominations is in layman's language. Readers will not become bogged down in technical or archaic terms. Begin by reading about the Christian groups, denominations, that developed in the time between Jesus' crucifixion and the formal origins of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. Learn how the Roman empire came to accept Christianity as its religion, of the cooperation and struggles between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches and how that led to their separation. Read about how the Black Death, the Crusades, the struggles within the Roman Catholic Church led some church leaders, such as Martin Luther, to attempt to reform the church, and how those attempts led to The Reformation. That opened the door to England declaring that the Church of England, the Anglican Church is the true Christian church. John Calvin laid the ground work for what became the Presbyterian and the Reformed churches. Then came the Huguenots and the Walloons, and the Puritan-Pilgrims who came to America and evolved into such as the Congregationalists. Back in England the Quakers experienced persecution that encouraged them to move to America. John Wesley began what evolved into Methodism. The American Revolution caused American churches of English origin to separate from their English roots and to become such as the Episcopalians and the Methodists. Read about the history of the many denominations that have come into being in The United States. There are the numerous "Christian" churches, the Unitarians, Spiritualist churches, Mormons, Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, Pentecostalism and many independent non-denominational churches. It is fascinating history, and all in layman's language.

Fools and idiots?
Author: Irina Metzler
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1784996181
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
This is the first book devoted to the cultural history in the pre-modern period of people we now describe as having learning disabilities. Using an interdisciplinary approach, including historical semantics, medicine, natural philosophy and law, it considers a neglected field of social and medical history and makes an original contribution to the problem of a shifting concept such as 'idiocy'. Medieval physicians, lawyers and the schoolmen of the emerging universities wrote the texts which shaped medieval definitions of intellectual ability and its counterpart, disability. In studying such texts, which form part of our contemporary scientific and cultural heritage, we gain a better understanding of which people were considered to be intellectually disabled and how their participation and inclusion in society differed from the situation today.
