Product Description
"Concepts in context." It's an approach unique among business law textbooks and one of the main reasons Beatty and Samuelson's BUSINESS LAW AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT is so successful in the classroom. From the very first chapter, the authors' superb writing fascinates, drawing students into the concepts of business law within the context of vivid examples and memorable scenarios. Throughout, provocative questions encourage students to reflect about what they are reading-teaching by example using activities that foster active learning and show students how to think through issues from a lawyer's perspective. No other text is as effective at helping students learn how to apply concepts and contexts to their practice, and in teaching them why business law matters not only to their careers but also to their daily lives.

Actually interesting... October 23, 2008
This book is great! It was one of the course textbooks for my Business Law and Ethics class last term and to my amazement, I actually enjoyed reading this book.br /br /The flow of the book is sensible, I could easily comprehend the material, and the case studies and example scenarios really helped bring the applications into focus. br /br /Im not stupid, but not a rocket scientist either, and I find that too often, textbooks are poorly written, with excessive reiteration that causes me to lose interest in the subject matter, OR verbose and technical explanations that I have no frame of reference for. I get lost and discouraged with the reading. Not so this book. br /br /A very very sensible read.

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
