Company Law

Company Law is the perfect text for business students studying the subject. It is written in an accessible and interesting style. Importantly, it places the company, legal concepts and legal terms within the context of business studies - helping business students see the relevance of the law to their business degree. It also encourages students to use problem solving methodologies to cement their learning.

In the Words of the Presidents brings together the wit, wisdom, oratorical power and, occasionally, the indiscretion, of all the men who have held the highest office in the land. In this richly enjoyable and highly informative compilation, over 1,000 quotations are set in historical context and linked to one another by a running narrative. Entertaining detours scattered throughout provide fascinating insights on the life and work of the American presidents. The end result is nothing less than a history of the United States as told by the holders of its most illustrious post.

Carefully chosen to reflect the key ideas, issues and personalities of each era, In the Words of the Presidents includes extracts from some of the most famous speeches in history, including the Gettysburg Address, Franklin D. Roosevelt's address to Congress the day after Pearl Harbor, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan's world-changing speeches in Berlin, Lyndon Johnson's reflections on the Great Society, and Barack Obama's judgments on race and power. Also included are spontaneous and amusing off-the-cuff remarks that illuminate the very different characters of the presidents, from the rock-solid honesty of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, through to the comically laconic comments of `Silent Cal' Coolidge, and the subtle evasions of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. Perceptive observations from writers, journalists, friends and rivals enliven the chapters and offer further perspectives on the holders of the office.

Both an impressive work of reference and an addictively browsable overview of 220 years of American history, in the Words of the Presidents recounts the unfolding drama of a great nation coming into being and taking its place upon the world stage. It will be welcomed by historians, students and general readers alike.

An understanding of company law is important to those working in business today. Company Law places the company and the relative legal concepts within the context of business studies. It is written in a straightforward and interesting style, showing legal concepts through examples of business practice while encouraging students to use problem solving to reinforce their learning.
