'By approaching land law in a different way this book offers a key to the mysteries of land law for students who find the subject impenetrable.' - C. J. Willmore, School of Law, Bristol University, UK
'This new edition has been rigorously updated to ensure that the approach taken provides additional academic insight into land law, with many more case references and further reading lists to guide independent research.' - Times Higher Education Textbook Guide
'Readers (whether they be students or practitioners) looking for a succinct and easy to understand explanation of the key principles of land law should look no further...Its innovative written style means the reader stands the best chance of understanding this complex area of law.' - Student Law Journal
Product Description
A fresh and innovative approach to Land Law, intended to help those coming to the subject for the first time as part of an undergraduate Law degree or study in a related discipline.

What makes a good teacher?
For me, coming from a family of teachers (though I'm not one myself), it's a combination of passion for the subject and empathy with the learner. The good teacher can make just about anyone feel like an expert on the subject in question, no matter what that is, and no matter how little the pupil knows (witness, for example, A Brief History Of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes). The bad teacher demands a level of understanding that isn't there and expects his pupils to draw inferences from dry facts.
This book takes you back to the classroom: the teacher who wants EVERYONE to understand her subject and who feels a failure if anyone doesn't. To do that in a classroom is a work of genius in itself. To do it in a textbook is even more amazing.
The great strength of "Making Sense of Land Law" is that is poses the questions that the reader himself would ask, yet at the same time never shies away from the complexities of the subject matter. I defy anyone not to get something from this book, whereas Cheshire, Fifoot and Furmston's Law of Contract makes a good doorstop.
Elle Woods would love this book. Lynne Truss would love this book. Stephen Hawking - not sure (nothing in here about m-theory) - but this IS "A Brief History of Land Law".
All land law students should buy without hesitation.

I have bought three law books for my course, and all are a waste of money. This is the only one I use, it is brilliant, and I really understand Land Law now

Format:Paperback
This book is a must for any student struggling with Land Law. Each topic is divided into short sections, dealing with the sort of questions a student would normally ask and giving examples where necessary. It is also written using fairly simple language with Latin kept to a minimum making it easier to understand than other Land Law textbooks.
