Media Reviews
Smith and Wood's Employment Law (Smith and Backer) now in its 11th edition, is one of the grandes dames of employment law textbooks: stately in format, traditional in style and content. It is none the worse for this; it remains an impressive text, with a place at the centre of any employment law teaching at undergraduate or postgraduate.
