Review
--Roberta Senechal de la Roche in LAW & SOCIAL INQUIRY
"Black's vivid and powerful theorizing on...the form, style, and quantity of human conflict and the application of morality remains insightful and highly original throughout; his elegant models are quintessentially sociological and almost unlimited in scope...Addresses a central and undertheorized topic in sociology and does so in creative and masterful fashion."
--Theory Prize Committee, American Sociological Association, in PERSPECTIVES
"People appreciate its elegance and simplicity, the awesome scope of its vision, the graceful symmetry of its arguments. I am reminded of great art when I read it."
--Thomas J. Bernard, Pennsylvania State University, American Society of Criminology, symposium on THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF RIGHT AND WRONG
"Black has developed his major theoretical works with such rigor at a conceptual level that...they merit comparison to the major works of Parsons, Luhmann, Habermas, and then to those of the classics...An aspiration grander than Durkheims...and Black more fully realizes his aspiration...There is one other quality in Blacks major works that reminds me of the classics: it takes courage to write the kind of books he writes...Black says things that prominent individuals do not want to hear, and he says them loudly and clearly."
--David Sciulli in LAW & SOCIAL INQUIRY
"Black has contributed much to sociology and law. He has introduced science to law and law to sociology....Law can now be studied objectively, theorized generally, and predicted universally....The discipline of sociology of law owes him much for his...relentless effort, unsurpassed intellect, and selfless devotion."
--Kam C. Wong in INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE SOCIOLOGY OF LAW
"Donald Black continues to present us with creative ideas, and the logic behind the sequencing of the chapters and the clear organization reveal another systematic approach to the study of social control...The advantage of Blacks approach is important.His heuristic research strategy can help explicate social processes such as norm formation, power realignment, economic consolidation, solidarity enhancement, and deviance creation in terms of other abstract features, which are then examined in a varietyof social contexts varying in scale, complexity, degree of formalization, and historical and comparative setting...His approach...has great breadth and is open to confirmation or disconfirmation."
--Pat Lauderdale, School of Justice, Arizona State University, in CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
