Tort Law Reviews

Review from previous edition An ideal companion for navigating the law of torts in its contemporary context. Legal Studies, Vol. 28 No. 2 Texts incorporating cases and materials can easily appear dense and overwhelming to student eyes. There are two principal reasons why this book has no such appearance. First, the font and layout of the text make all the materials look accessible and, secondly, the materials have been selected and edited in such a way that they actually are accessible. None of the extracts are unnecessarily lengthy, and the author's analysis regularly breaks up any complex material so as to clarify any difficult points, and to encourage the reader to identify and consider the most relevant issues in more depth. Legal Studies, Vol. 28 No. 2
