LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS is the #1 text for this course--setting the standard by delivering comprehensive, authoritative, and cutting-edge coverage in an interesting and accessible format. Its recipe for success includes the same "black letter law" flavor as its #1 Business Law counterpart Business Law by Clarkson, Miller, Jentz, and Cross, but with a more specific focus on current topics like ethics, government regulation, and administrative law. The cases, content, and features of the exciting new 7th edition have been meticulously and thoroughly updated, representing the latest developments. An excellent assortment of cases ranges from precedent-setting landmarks to recent decisions. Ethical, global, and e-commerce themes are integrated throughout, and numerous critical thinking exercises challenge students to apply what they've learned to real-world issues. The text also offers an unmatched range of support materials -- including innovative online teaching and learning resources. It's no wonder that LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS is used by more colleges and universities than any other business law text.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "boring-ist" book you'll ever have to read, but..., June 26, 2009

Obviously, this book would not be at the top of my summer reading list, but it is required reading for my Business Law class.

Although the legal jargon can be daunting, it tends to insert humorous examples and case studies in at the most unexpected times- just enough to keep it halfway interesting. Good for what it is, but I would suggest taking an accelerated version of this class if available.

So I purchased the Kindle version of this book, and it is only available to read on the Kindle. It cannot be read on the Kindle for PC software, nor on the iPhone. I also assume it cannot be read on the blackberry. I guess it is some sort of licensing thing, but I am not sure.

Concerning the content of the book, it seems pretty straightforward, and the explanations are clear.

Too bad about not being able to read this Kindle version on multiple formats.

The Legal Environment of Business is a good textbook. I will use it for two classes. It has a lot of information that has helped me better understand some of the government areas.
