Since 1993 I've published five textbooks and textbook editions with Irwin/McGraw Hill, Prentice Hall and Textbook Media Press. One of the major considerations for me then and now was to provide an alternative to the high price of textbooks that placed them out of reach for too many students. I also needed an alternative to textbooks that were simply too long, overly complicated and featured too many pedagogical devices (sidebars, case studies, key terms, definitions, and many other "learning aids" that cluttered the main narrative and served to confuse students more than to enlighten them in my experience). I wanted to provide an alternative way: clear, concise chapters with interesting examples that students could both understand and relate to and I hoped also enjoy reading. And I wanted to have textbooks that would cost only a fraction of the competition. After all, what I need in a textbook as a professor is a book that students will read, understand, and that will provide a foundation for my lectures.
I want the textbooks I select for my courses to provide not all possible information about a subject but accurate, clear information that can be easily absorbed and retained by my students and that I can build upon in my lectures by re-emphasizing key points and moving beyond them with examples drawn from current events, recent cases and emerging developments in the law that no textbook can ever provide. That has been my mission for the past quarter century and one that continues into the newest iteration of my newest textbook. Whether you are a student struggling to understand the concepts in the assigned book for your business law, legal environment or introduction to law class or a like-minded colleague who needs an inexpensive, readable textbook for classroom use, I hope you will take a few moments to learn about the third edition of my new textbook. You will not find a more affordable text from a traditional publisher, nor one that offers more format options in electronic and bound formats starting at just $29.95.
Even if you are not interested in finding an alternative to your currently adopted textbook, I'd be grateful if you would consider forwarding or emailing this information or link to anyone who may find it of interest. Links and some additional information appear below. Thank you!
