An achievement of the first rank … I found this book to be a fascinating one. It is not only informative but also thought provoking … it was a veritable Herculean effort on the part of the editors to gather together so many authors from so many diverse jurisdictions. The result is a resource that is probably the first of its kind and which will be not only fascinating to academic scholars but will also guide legal practitioners as well.
