Core text choices
Please select one of the core texts for this module. Choose the book that suits your learning style better, there is a lot of reading to keep up with throughout the course so you will find it helpful to purchase your own copy of one of these texts.
'Business Law' by MacIntyre is very detailed and comprehensive (regardless of which text you buy, you will definitely need to refer to this one in preparation for your coursework). However this book does not contain very much by way of context. If you want more insight into how the topics we cover connect to real business life I'd recommend using 'Business Law' by Marson and Ferris. This book has more links to business issues; with, for example, sections exploring why it is relevant to understand the law in a particular area. Sometimes however there isn't quite enough depth and some topics aren't covered so you will need to use MacIntyre or one of the specialist texts below to supplement your reading in preparation of your coursework. A new text has come out this year 'Law for Business Students' by Adams, Caplan and Lockwood, it is a new edition of an existing book and this edition looks to be much improved. It contains useful real life examples and although it is written in an accessible tone, provides a good degree of depth.
