I am very impressed with the book: The authors explain the complexities clearly and present legal material with some contextual discussion [The] text covers a wide range of topics and represents a good introduction for non law students. Dr Graeme Lockwood, King's College London an excellent text for undergraduate and postgraduate HR students. The law is covered in appropriate depth and in a practical way. The exercises, activities and glossary are all very useful. Dr Roger Welch, University of Portsmouth A comprehensive, practical and commercially relevant text, which is up to date, clearly structured and supports the student through the learning process an excellent textbook Christopher Hull, St Mary's University College, Twickenham
