Rezension:

The most skilled of practitioners - the ones who do this every day, who know the rules and who have or hire skilled expertise either in house or externally - will find much that is useful; those new to subject will find it invaluable. It is also well-structured and well-indexed, so that those who need something in a hurry can find it. As you would expect from OUP, the production is to the highest standard.
