Rousseaus 1762 erstmals erschienenes Werk gilt als einer der wichtigsten rechtsphilosophischen Texte überhaupt und bildete die grundlegende Schrift für die Französische Revolution 1789: In ihr vertritt Rousseau erstmals und revolutionär die Idee der Souveränität des Volkes, indem er die Hintergründe der Vergesellschaftung des Menschen, der aus seinem Naturzustand heraustrat, beleuchtet.

First published in 1920, Social Theory endeavours to put together the social contents of various experiences of the ordinary man, and to make them, as far as they form one, a coherent and consistent whole. Social theory is not concerned directly with all the actions of individual men, but mainly with their actions taken in concert through some temporary or permanent organized group, and with the actions of such groups as they affect and react upon the individual. It is not primarily concerned with the State but with the whole problem of human association - that is, of associative will and action. This book will be of interest to students of economics, political science and sociology.

This book, first published in 1942, covers the whole field of wartime life and organization. Economics, burden-sharing, liberty and efficiency, womens' roles: all are discussed frankly with positive suggestions being made.

In the quiet seaside town of Whynmouth, Inspector Rudge seldom faces murder cases. However, his routine is shattered when an old sailor arrives with a rowing boat carrying a fresh corpse, stabbed in the chest. The investigation reveals multiple challenges; the vicar, owner of the boat, seems to be hiding crucial information, and the victim's niece has mysteriously vanished. The case grows increasingly complex, raising doubts about the victim's identity and the number of people involved in this extraordinary crime. Inspector Rudge grapples with the intricacies of the situation, questioning whether he will ever uncover the truth. In 1931, a group of crime writers, including Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, collaborated on a unique literary project under the Detection Club. Each author contributed a chapter in a game of literary consequences, with G.K. Chesterton providing a paradoxical prologue and Anthony Berkeley resolving the story. The authors also submitted their own solutions in sealed envelopes, revealed at the book's conclusion, with Agatha Christie's clever resolution noted as particularly outstanding. The contributors included notable figures such as Canon Victor Whitechurch, G.D.H. Cole, and Ronald Knox, among others.
