Review:
Review from previous edition Many other text books are boring; their writing is heavy-going and immediately puts students off. This book is a joy to read; it makes the topics interesting by picking out stories that relate and explain the subject matter. (Amanda Taylor, Lecturer, University of Westminster)
This book is a great introduction to law for our students; the content is always contemporary and detailed and it is written in an extremely engaging, stimulating and lively way. We find that students particularly like the interesting cases chapter. (Joanne Sellick, Associate Dean for Teaching and Learning, University of Plymouth)
