This volume of collected essays by Hubert Treiber, one of Weber's leading interpreters and an authoritative expert on Weber's sociology of law, brings a number of translated works to English-speaking readers, offering the opportunity to gain a fuller and a more accurate understanding of Max Weber's legal thinking.The book contains six essays by Treiber, and an important essay by Monika Frommel in response to Treiber. Throughout the collection, the chapters are united by the thread of Treiber's consistent attempts to provide historical contexts and to clarify Weber's legal concepts and definitions. The concepts discussed communicate to English readers the specific meanings that Weber associated with them in the German original, and which may have been missed by those who do not know German or who have historically relied on imprecise translations.As such, it brings together and makes accessible a new and important body of knowledge concerning Max Weber's sociology of law and will appeal to scholars and researchers with interests in Max Weber, social theory, philosophy of law, jurisprudence, and philosophy of social sciences.

In 1952, a terminally ill Harold Innis asked his closest intellectual confidant, Tom Easterbrook, to teach his signature course on communications on his behalf. With Innis’s premature death, the course turned out to be both Innis’s final course and the first course on Innis. Alongside Edward Comor’s detailed Introduction, Easterbrook’s previously unknown lectures clarify aspects of Innisian scholarship that have been obscured, neglected, or forgotten. These include Easterbrook’s understanding that Innis applied his concept of bias more broadly than most realize, that through references to media Innis strategically sought to promote certain values, and that Innis had become increasingly interested in the role played by institutions such as language, law, and the nation. Given Easterbrook’s intimate understanding of Innis’s methodology and research trajectories, this book is a rich resource for anyone interested in Innis and the foundations of media ecology. "Edward Comor’s book is like a time machine that takes us on a trip to 1950s-era University of Toronto and to the final days of the late, great Harold Innis. It provides an intimate and detailed window into the research and teaching of a scholar widely considered to be a pioneer in the field of media ecology. This book is highly recommended and an essential read for all of those interested in the history of communications technology." ?Ron Deibert, Professor of Political Science and Director of the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab "Before his untimely death in 1952, Harold Innis wrote some of the most important works in communications studies in North America. In addition to his published scholarship, Innis presented his ideas to undergraduates at the University of Toronto through a course that his former PhD student Tom Easterbrook took over when his health failed. By assembling and contextualizing course materials and by drawing from conversations between Innis and Easterbrook during the preceding summer, Edward Comor gives scholars a fascinating window into Innis’s pedagogical approach, his end-of-life concerns, as well as what for Innis remained unfinished. Through Comor’s extensive introduction and the publication of Easterbrook’s lectures for the course, readers also will gain understanding as to how Innis communicated his ideas and how he was interpreted by students ? both those in the class and Easterbrook." ?Michael Stamm, Chair and Professor, Department of History, Michigan State University
