Author: Peter Linebaugh
1 past events. 57th Street Books: Peter Linebaugh (March 27 at 18:00) Peter Linebaugh promotes The Magna Carta Manifesto: Liberties & Commons for All. "Peter Linebaugh's The Magna Carta Manifesto offers a fascinating view of the ways in which the many protections against tyranny first encapsulated in the Magna Carta have consistently been contested since the Magna Carta's adoption in 1215. Through original historic analysis Linebaugh argues that the ... (more)rights of habeas corpus, trial by jury, due process of law, and the prohibition of torture are commonly abridged whenever the desire for greater power and control over the lives of its citizens corrupts the purpose and path of the state. With numerous parallels to our own world, this is an important work sure to spark conversation and debate."

Combine with…What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. |
