  Designed to enliven the subject of land law for a student audience, Making Sense of Land Law is the ideal companion to an otherwise intricate and occasionally difficult area of law. It is written with the student in mind, taking care to explain the essential concepts in a clear and engaging style, bringing them to life with question and answer debates and real examples, underpinned throughout with the relevant case law and statutory material. The content of the majority of courses in land law is covered, making this an excellent text for use in the lecturehall, but also for independent study or revision where particular topics would benefit from additional explanation. A student can use the book to work through each chapter, stopping to reflect upon learning and understanding before proceeding, and thus building upon knowledge already acquired. Where appropriate, diagrams elucidate processes, showing how the concepts apply in practical scenarios. This new edition has been rigorously updated to ensure that the approach taken provides additional academic insight, many more case references and further reading lists to guide independent research. In addition, the topic of fixtures and fittings is included for the first time. Easy-to-read, yet reliable and accurate enough to support the student coming to this subject for the first time Created to take into account different learning styles, ensuring that the essential points can readily be grasped by a range of readers Sections in the book can be worked through step-by-step, encouraging the student to build up a solid understanding of the underlying issues on which to base further learning Complete enough to work well as a main course text, yet sufficiently succinct to support revision or self study This new edition contains enhanced references to the main legal authorities in an accessible manner, so that the student is guided through difficult concepts, gaining confidence to access and interpret source materials direct. By approaching land law in a different way, this book offers a key to unlocking the mystery of land law for students who find the subject impenetrable. C. J.
