This new book is aimed at non-specialist students of business law on a variety of courses in colleges and universities. The book is written in a simple and approachable style and provides regular opportunities for student self-assessment throughout the book in the form of quizzes and questions with answers. Opportunity for further assessment is provided by the inclusion of assignments and problems in the text, with answers available separately in an Instructor's Manual. This book is written in response to the need for a shorter, more accessible law text which is student centred. The subject coverage of the book has been designed to follow the 'core' topics which appear most frequently on syllabuses and examination papers. It is also written to encourage an interest in business law. It stresses the fact that law operates in the context of society and affects students on a daily basis. Cases chosen are accessible and constant cross-referencing indicates the interrelationship of different areas of the law. As well as explaining legal principles, the book also provides assistance with study skills.
