\ From the PublisherThe content of this book is great. I have reviewed many Business Law textbooks and this one is by far the best. It is very readable and gets the necessary information across in a way that makes you forget you are reading a textbook. - Victor C. Parker, Jr., North Georgia College & State University\ Miller and Jentz do an admirable job of explaining legal concepts in an understandable manner. Side notes allow a quick refresher of the text-based explanation. And the emphasis on vocabulary (both in margin notes, key terms and glossary, is critical to allowing students to learn to speak the language of law. - William J. Russell, Northwest Nazarene University\ It is current and has interesting practical tips on how to avoid future problems. Also, the real cases are useful so that students can see that the legal principles and concepts are REAL LIFE. - Ruth R. O'Keefe, Jacksonville University\ \ \
