Reviews

'written in a very compact and pithy style: statements of law are neatly addressed in the text with a great deal of case law cited or commented on in the footnotes'.

'The book poignantly demonstrates a coherent and natural connection between the law of carriage of goods and those relevant areas of common law in general, helping to break down the erroneous impression that the law of carriage of goods operates in isolation.'

'impressively draws up the connections between legal concepts'

'an outstanding work, combining practical knowledge and academic insights. The book would be welcome to a wide range of readers, including practitioners, academics and research students.'

From a review of the Third Edition by Meixan Song in Lloyd’s Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly
