Media Reviews
"The law is presented in a clear, concise and authoritative way. The use of extracts from academic work is excellent (as are the further reading sections). The essay plans are really good and will help the more self-reliant students. I really like the various additional textual elements and I think they could be a real feature." - Charles Barker, University of Portsmouth, UK (review of a previous edition)
"It is clear and concise. The format is also easy for students to navigate and to follow. The activity and summary sections are helpful for students to consolidate their learning." - Joanne Beswick, Staffordshire University, UK
