Edward White's \u003cem\u003eTort Law in America\u003c\/em\u003e is a concise and accessible history of the way legal scholars and judges have conceptualized the subject of torts, the reasons that changes in certain rules and doctrines have occurred, and the people who brought about these changes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow in an expanded edition, \u003cem\u003eTort Law in America\u003c\/em\u003e features a new preface that places the book within the current scholarship and two new chapters covering developments in American tort law over the past fifteen years. White approaches his subject from four perspectives: intellectual history, the sociology of knowledge, the phenomenon of professionalization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in America, and the recurrent concerns of tort law since its emergence as a discrete field. He puts the intellectual history of this unique branch of law into the general picture of philosophy, sociology, and literature in what is not only a major work of legal scholarship but also a tour de force for anyone interested in American intellectual history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46897427087511,"sku":"9780195139655","price":4627.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195139655.webp?v=1770362695","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tort-law-in-america-an-intellectual-history-9780195139655","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
