A Dying Man Hires The Services Of A Cannibal, A Customs Official Insults A World-Class Sculptor, A Farmer Complains That Low-Flying Bombers Are Killing His Chickens, Two Rock Groups Claim The Same Name, A Monkey Takes A Selfie, And A Minister With Mail-Order Credentials Performs A Wedding. The Resulting Court Cases (And Sixteen Others) Serve To Introduce A Wide Range Of Philosophical Notions (Such As Libertarianism, Speciesism, And Speech Acts).Next, A Subway Employee Draws A Revolutionary Map, A Mountain Loses Its Name, A Strange Cineplex Puts People In Each Others', Movies, The Art Museums Of Madrid Loom Over Neighboring Buildings, A Nautical Chart Guides Seamen Into A Connecticut Port, And Jerusalem Stands 'Due North' Of The Mediterranean.
