Business Law-Smith and Roberson
This book is well-organized and written. It covers the major Concise, and usually accurate, with good examples
A good overview of US law. There are issues which are matters of opinionand not explained well enough (ex. ethics), and perhaps needn't beaddressed at all in a law book. The examples and the references make it aworthy purchase overall. ... Read more

Dont buy from amazon
Attn all students! Amazon promises to send books by a specific date then changes the dates without your consent. Trying to get a refund is a nightmare. Be prepared to get stuck without the book and still get the bill. Customer service is outsourced to India and is no help even if you could understand them. 4 wks and counting and still no promised refund. This not the only time this has happened.The issue is not with the seller it is Amazon.

Excellent Book
I had this for my business law class and it was excellent! It is easy to read, the cases are interesting and the format is one of the best for a textbook!

Quite Comprehensive
This text offers great details, but I did not rate it as 5 stars because (1) when searching for content, it is difficult to see the key words in the text and (2) the case studies are well selected, but since they are inserted throughout the chapter, it is challenging to determine where the case ends and the author's content begins.
Good enough
The book was damaged but it looks like its the post office job because the envelope used to cover the book was damaged as well. Besides that, the transaction was good

15 days to tell us they didn't have the book.
I ordered the book from them on Nov1. On Nov 15 I called and they told me they didn't have it. The money was returned by Amazon. ... Read more

Don't rely on this book for an online course
This book is filled with information but is not easy to follow. The ethical questions do not provide answers which leave you wondering if your own conclusions are accurate. The format tries to cover too much information without going in debth about anything.I used this book for an online accounting class and it was of very little help to me.This truly was one of the worst text books I've ever used.

Late
The shipping took 3 weeks and too late for class so I'm returned book I haven't heard anything I wouldn't recommend you to buy from this site

Happy Student!!
In great condition & ordered exactly what was promised. This book is very comprehesive. Gave me everything I need to know to file my tax return. ALOT of INFO. It's like having a personal tax planner right in your own home & you can plan at your own pace! ... Read more

not good seller
I placed the order the book, but unfortunately, the text book was wrong one. Although I tried to contact this seller to return the book and have it refund as soon as I received the book, nobody responded to me. Eventually, I still keep this book and did not get refund. I'm afraid that this seller is not so good as everyone might tihnk when it comes to trouble shooting. ... Read more

I Actually Took the Author's Class!! Awesome Book. Easy Read.
I actually took Professor Cheeseman's BUAD 403 Legal Environment class at the University of Southern California! He's the funniest and most interesting professor I've ever had. Read the Haiku at the beginning of the book. It's bizarre until you know his past; then it's hailarious. Cheeseman is a brilliant man. After serving in the Army during Vietnam, he's earned 6 degrees!

One of my favorite study aids
I love these Examples & Explanations books.The rules make sense when you can get decent examples, and these books do a good job of that.
Great book
Great book. Definitely doesn't cover every area of Torts that you're going to need to know for your course (IIED, false imprisonment, etc.). Get Gilberts or Emanuels or just use your class notes on this stuff though. Also: if your professor has a slightly different view on the rules (even if it's just a difference in semantics) use your prof's rules when working the Examples. Writing out your answers to the Examples throughout the semester will solidify your knowledge and you won't have to struggle to memorize the elements of each rule at the end of the semester.

BE CAREFUL WHICH EDITION YOU BUY!
The book is great as it is, no doubt, but the older editions do not have Products Liability in them, which is VITAL to your studies. Make sure you get the latest edition, which has two chapters on PL.

One-sided approach to regulation
I would have preferred a text that merely reported employers' compliance obligations in an objective manner, rather than portraying employers as the enemy.I generally found the text to be highly politicized and, to some extent, anti-management.This book does little to bridge the gap between the business community and academia.

Employment Law for business
As an attorney, manager, and teacher of human resources professionals, I recommend this book.I found that thie information was thoroughly researched. I also appreciated that the legal information was presented in a business context so that managers who are not lawyers could understand the information andreadily appy it to real life workplace problems.

Useful Book.
This is an interesting,informative and useful book.I used it for school and it will be one book that I keep.Great case studies. ... Read more

Blum is the Contracts Master
This is the best study aid I had in my first year.Blum's E&E helped me understand concepts as they came up, and was perfect for outlining at the end of the term.Buy it - you won't regret it!!

Good, but I wasn't thrilled
Good book, but perhaps not the best for my course. I initially bought Gilberts and this book. Then I tried to order a different used study aid online and the seller sent me Emanuel's on Contracts, which ended up being the best study aid for Contracts, I thought. Back to the E&E: this book gives a good overview and a clear explanation. The Examples and Explanations are pretty good. However, I agree with the reviewer above that Blum is too vague in the Explanations. Just give us the answer (whether "yes," "no," or "could go either way")! I also have another complaint about the Explanations -- they're way too damn long! Get to the point! I sat there for 10 minutes reading a 4 page Explanation. It's ridiculous. I felt like I was reading High Court case briefs when I was reading the Explanations. I do like the fact that there are Examples that you can work, but Emanuels has Questions following each chapter as well that are more concise and to the point.

Great buy
Very fast delivery, thanks I was in a hurry and you have made me very happy.

Excellent text for the Instructor; for the Student
This is an excellent text at various levels of interest, desire, talent and time. The text is arranged that given the time, the Instructor can dig deeper and deeper into thorny topics. Additionally, curious students can rely on numerous web sources for enhanced views and greater depth.
Not Only For Students
I am using this textbook in several of my classes, and let me just say- it has everything I could have hoped for. The chapters are laid out well, many cases are cited, and the student is given actual cases to figure out, with the citations given at the end so he can find the actual outcome. I've found this to be among the best textbooks. It is so good, in fact that I've reccomended it to several of my friends who are going into business for themselves. This covers nearly everything they'll need to know regarding contracts, secured transactions, warranties, etc.Read more

The Surveyor's Bible
While preparing for my licensing exam, I read this book from cover to cover. It addresses every principle of retracement (sequential and simultaneous conveyances), public lands, and riparian issues thoroughly. The highlighted "principle" at the heading of each new topic makes remembering the main points simple. I can honestly say that every question on the NCEES exam that dealt with general principles and practice was answered in this book. I passed on my first sitting, and this book was one of the main reasons why. If you can only study one reference, this is it. Every practicing surveyor should also refer to it regularly.

This is the definitive work on boundary control. Technicians preparing for the SIT and PLS tests should own this book.

Decent, but rather uneven coverage for an intro text.
One benefit of this book is that it contains articles, commentary, and discussion questions all in one text.It also covers a wide variety of issues, which is good since business ethics is a vast subject.On the negative side, I don't think the organization of the sections is the most effective way to approach the topic.The sections are organized based on a 1991 survey of CEOs in which the participants ranked their most important types of ethical dilemmas. As a result, there isn't the logical flow or progression of ideas from chapter to chapter that one might expect from a philosophy book. Unfortunately, the pragmatic interests of CEOs are not the same as the educational needs of students who are new to business ethics.There is also no discussion of ethical theories and no direct interaction between the articles. On the whole, this book may be beneficial if used in conjunction with a survey of ethical theories and ethical decision-making, but taken by itself it makes for a rather uneven introduction to business ethics. ...
