Humour is pervasive in contemporary culture, and is generally celebrated as a public good. Yet there are times when it is felt to produce intolerance, misunderstanding or even hatred. This book brings together, for the first time, contributions that consider the ethics as well as the aesthetics of humour. The book focuses on the abuses and limits of humour, some of which excite considerable social tension and controversy. Beyond a Joke is an exciting intervention, full of challenging questions and issues.

Store description
I have been an amateur book collector for over 30 years acquiring books covering a broad knowledge & topics over the years., which now numbers between 600 to a1,000 books.
Sadly due to my wife's failing health I have decided to sell my collection.
I mainly collect Railway/Transport/Military/nature and a large selection books of rare and a variety of non fiction material.
Whether my books are rare or old almost all are in very good/as new condition, I will endeavour to lists all books to the exact description.
I am at most times free to discuss any books, although due to being a full carer I may not answer my phone straight away but if you leave a forward number I will always reply to the call.
I myself am now retired, I worked in passenger transport for just a little over 45 years both in the bus & Rail Industry achieving management status for the last seventeen years of my working career on the Railway. Working in passenger transport was something that i always wanted to do and was lucky enough to have achieved a career that gave me so much enjoyment.
Apart from book collecting my other main hobby is gardening which helps me relax and reflect on my busy life being a full time carer for my wife of 49 years.
