`Review from previous edition Gardner is to be congratulated for
having produced this stimulating introduction which... will be a
very valuable addition to any serious library in the topic, as well
as providing an introduction which trusts teachers would do well to
recommend enthusiastically to their students.'

pp369-371
`Gardner's book... is written in a clear, attractive style.
Gardner... deal[s] with difficult topics with clarity and depth. He
gives a clear treatment of the cases, along with an effective
critique, and he discusses the issues in the light of the political
models. In short, he does succeed in carrying out the Series' aim
of providing 'a general perspective of legal ideas and problems
which will make their detailed study more rewarding'... [It is]
well
written, careful and insightful.'
