"I find the coverage fair and balanced. For example the section about the EPA on page 980 gives the student a good flavor of the practical realities of legislation and enforcement without showing unfair bias. Good job!"
"The text is a top flight law book that should rank within the top three on the market today. Indeed, I would consider adopting the text and making it possible for other business faculty in my department to adopt the text."
"This book is excellent. I have adopted it for my Business Law I classes. This fall I will be teaching Business Law II again for the first time since I adopted this text for Business Law I. After serious consideration, I adopted the text for my Business Law II class. I realized that I would miss it too much if I did not use it! I am sure my students will be glad too - and not just because 'they already have the book.' I can tell my students enjoy this text."
"Our students do not come to class prepared to analyze a legal situation in a sequential fashion. This is a great way for them to learn to look for several issues and analyze them separately. It would be great preparation for the rigor of an essay exam. This feature is a great step forward."
"The "Exam Strategy" content is a phenomenal addition to the text. It provides students with a concise method for comprehending the covered concepts found in each chapter. They will be an excellent asset to my students as they prepare for their tests."

Great information about business law,
By Kibo (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Business Law and the Legal Environment, Standard Edition (Hardcover)
I doubted the content of the book at first thinking it'll just tell of normal business laws. But after the first chapter, I found this book actually being helpful in providing examples of cases that actually happened and how the business laws were applied. Even for normal reading, the book is surely interesting.

This review is from: Business Law and the Legal Environment, Standard Edition (Hardcover)
A wonderful read, but marred by unconscionable editing errors highly uncommon to a book of this caliber.
Did you know that John Glen was the first person to orbit the Earth? According to this book he was. Page 587: "In 1962, John Glenn became the first person to orbit the earth." Sorry Yuri guess you're out of luck. Page 899: "...if there is some use of interstate commerce, such as the mails.." Mails? Page 901: "Form 8-Ks to report any significant developments,..." 8-Ks? How about just SEC form 8-K. I'm just eight chapters into reading this book (bouncing around as my syllabus requires) and probably three chapters in I had noticed several glaring grammatical errors that caught my eye. I didn't start taking notes immediately - as I am not auditioning for the job of editor, but this is really getting a tad ridiculous for a well respected college level text. That makes at least six, by my unofficial and non-expert count, errors that should have been caught, and that's after reading just eight of the forty-seven chapters this book contains. Still this is a good "reed even if de editers cant due der jub."
