What does it mean to truly notice something? To really see it. Noticing is different from simply being aware of something or merely perceiving it. It requires us to show care to a thing or a person and not just acknowledge its existence. From the etymology of the word 'noticing' to insights from the psychology of perception and attention, Ziyad Marar considers noticing as a fundamental dimension to what it is to be human.The book explores how noticing is often motivated whether by a need or pre-occupation or a pet theory. What humans notice, in particular because we're such hyper social creatures, is different from what dogs or dragonflies notice because we operate with different interests and perceptual skills. On the flipside of noticing, of course, is the common and very necessary practice of ignoring. Noticing properly doesn't necessarily mean what falls outside of that pool of light. Whether through inattentional blindness or change blindness we can miss what is in front of our eyes. Sometimes we serve our interests by ignoring what it would be inconvenient to notice. A paranoid or jealous person can start hyper-noticing in ways that can be destructive. Simone Weil for example was so sensitive to the suffering of others that she neglected to notice her own needs. Sometimes we care too much, and in these cases it might pay to look away.Noticing looks at what it means to engage with care, consideration and meaning without becoming overwhelmed: the elusive balance between having to ignore some things whilst truly noticing others.

This book revisits one of the defining judicial engagements in English legal history.It provides a fresh account of the years 1606 to 1616 which witnessed a series of increasingly volatile confrontations between, on the one side, King James I and his Attorney-General, Sir Francis Bacon, and on the other, Sir Edward Coke, successively Chief Justice of Common Pleas and Lord Chief Justice.At the heart of the dispute were differing opinions regarding the nature of kingship and the reach of prerogative in reformation England. Appreciating the longer context, in the summer of 1616 King James appealed for a reformation of law and constitution to complement the reformation of his Church.Later historians would discern in these debates the seeding of a century of revolution, followed by another four centuries of reform. This book ventures the further thought that the arguments which echoed around Westminster Hall in the first years of the seventeenth century have lost little of their resonance half a millennium on. Breaks with Rome are little easier to 'get done', the margins of executive governance little easier to draw.
