'Megan Richardson's work on privacy is evangelical. It explains the origins and teaching of privacy and navigates wisely between hope and despair with respect to privacy in this age of Surveillance Capitalism. This well written gospel (or ''good news'') of privacy law will not only inform the mind, but more importantly, inspire vibrant spiritual adherence to this unique construct of the human species.' --Paul de Hert, Brussels University-Tilburg, Belgium'Megan Richardson's superb new book Advanced Introduction to Privacy Law provides an overview of privacy law that is concisely written yet broad in its scope, accessible to non-experts yet rich in its insights. Focusing on the Anglo-American legal tradition but drawing upon its interactions with EU law and other jurisdictions, Richardson masterfully steers readers through the historical roots and multiple strands of privacy law to the challenges of the contemporary digital world. I will definitely be recommending this book to students, colleagues, and privacy professionals alike.' --Lisa Austin, University of Toronto, Canada 'This Advanced Introduction to Privacy Law is an exceptional book. Clearly written and accessible, it provides a detailed and nuanced account of the key theoretical and legal issues at the heart of contemporary debates about privacy. This book makes a substantial contribution to the field and is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of privacy.' --Benjamin Goold, University of British Columbia, Canada
