Reviews

While many of the chapters contain valuable novel insights into their subject matter, an understandable consequence of the volume's stated objectives is that much of its contents consist of reviews of existing material; this has the considerable merit of directing the interested reader on to sources of further study. The Cambridge Law Journal
