An ideal guide for the paralegal student, ESSENTIALS OF CONTRACT LAW, Second Edition presents the law of contracts in an understandable and organized manner. The book's effective "road map" approach to contracts helps students learn about contract formation, contracts the courts will not enforce, the plaintiff's allegation of breach, the defendant's response to the plaintiff's allegation, and the plaintiff's remedies for breach of contract. In this edition, the author separately addresses the impact of Article 2 of the UCC (sale of goods), federal preemption, and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) on common law contract theory. Cutting through excess verbiage and outdated doctrine, the book develops each rule of law by presenting theory, illustrating theory with an example, and providing a "problem" to give you hands-on practice.

This is the second edition of the well-regarded local text, Employment Relations. This new edition takes an even more practical approach to a complex area, considering both the industrial regulation and human resources dimensions of the employment relationship.

As well as providing a comprehensive guide to employment relations in Australia, the text also offers a selective international comparative view on the management of the employment relationship.

The text explains and emphasises the real-world connections between the important theories of industrial relations and human resources, which are key components of the employment relations discipline. The overarching aim is for students to gain a deeper understanding of the 'World of Work', through the discipline of Employment Relations.

The combination of established scholarship, new ideas and real-life applications gives students a taste of the energy, challenge and adventure inherent in the dynamic field of management.

Along with current management theory and practice, the text integrates coverage of social media and new technology throughout this second NZ edition includes new emphasis on Entrepreneurship and Innovation, a growing area of importance and interest in management studies and the foregrounding of management as an Integrative Practice.
