This book aims to demonstrate that legal complaints form the background for making business decisions and in the text legal principles are grouped according to their relevance to business.

This edition is now under the authorship of Peter Shears and Graham Stephenson, who have added a contemporary outlook to its traditional virtues. It includes the latest legislation such as the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 and its effect on civil liberties, the Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994 and the Trade Union Reform and Employment Rights Act 1993. There is also an expanded treatment of the Law Commission, updated details concerning the court system, significant changes to the material on the legal profession and a reflection of the increasing importance of European Law; as well as further statute and much new case law.

They called him Otzi the Iceman. In 1991 the natural mummy of a 5000-year old man was found in the Otztal Alps between Austria and Italy. He was unique. Until now. In the pre-history of the Mediterranean, a boy growing towards manhood is identified as the subject of a prophecy. Ka'desh, wanting a quiet existence, is thrust into a life that will be far from ordinary as it has been foretold that he will rewrite his people's history. From his island home on Malta, he must cross the open seas to the island of Sicily and eventually to the Italian mainland. Each step of his journey will be fraught with danger and strengthened with human friendships that are timeless. And when the ages pass and some 5,000 years have come and gone, is it his body that is found high up in the alps, near to Otzi? Is it his body and the artefacts surrounding him that will rewrite history? Is he the boy in the Glacier?
