Description:
Law is the most sacred fetish of our time. From radicals to conservatives, there is no militant, activist or thinker who would consider doing without it. But the history of our fascination with law is long and complex, and reaches deeper into our culture than we might think.
In After Law, Laurent de Sutter takes us on a journey to uncover the sources of our fascination. He shows that at a certain moment in our history a choice was made to treat law as a decisive feature of civilization, but this choice was neither obvious nor necessary. Other political, social, religious or cultural possibilities could have been chosen instead “ from ancient Egypt to Mesopotamia, from medieval Japan to China, from Islam to Judaism, other cultures have devised sophisticated tools to help people live together without having to deal with norms, rules and principles. This is a lesson worth reflecting on, especially at a time when the rule of law and the functioning of justice are increasingly showing their sinister side “ and their impotence. Is there life beyond law?

Very Sturdy Industrial Shelves with a High-End Look
Size: 48in, Color: 3-layer
The OLDRAINBOW Industrial Pipe Shelves with Wood Planks 3 Tier 48in are very sturdy and have a high-end look once installed.
The combination of metal pipes and wood planks gives them a strong, rustic-industrial style that looks more expensive than expected. They feel solid and well-built, not flimsy at all.
Once mounted, the shelves feel very stable and can hold a good amount of weight, which makes them practical for books, decor, or kitchen items.
Overall, these shelves are both functional and visually impressive. They add a polished, high-end feel to the space and I am very happy with them.

Really sturdy. Beautiful addition in Kitchen
Size: 36in, Color: 3-layer
We put this up in our kitchen to hold our recipe books and other odds and ends. It is really beautiful and ties the space together nicely with the blank wall we had. It’s sturdy to hold several recipe books and a great price point for the quality. The only thing was that the second shelf did not line up from one pipe to the other. The top and bottom shelves aligned perfectly, so the pipes were leveled, but it seems that the pipes in the middle were not equal distance and the shelf wobbles. We’ll be putting something underneath one end to balance it out.
