What is the shade of difference between Sod's Law and Murphy's Law?
What is the Helsinki Bus Station Theory? What part do the McNaughton
Rules and the Miranda Law play in criminal justice? Plenty of books
claim to tell you how to succeed in life, love or business with
infallible sets of guidelines and self-help principles, but have
nothing to say about the laws - often hidden ones - which really
govern our lives. Skyscrapers, Hemlines and the Eddie Murphy Rule is
an anthology of the many quirky, useful or entertaining rules and
principles, which, if they are well known, crop up without explanation
or, if confined to specialist circles, deserve to be more widely
understood and appreciated. Here is a deliberately diverse scrapbook
of the attempts to provide a system and an explanation, whether
serious or humorous, eccentric or plain mischievous, for human
activity across politics, science, sport, economics, the Internet,
work, and life itself.
