- An extensive Online Resource Centre (offering resources such as Oxford NewsNow) provides all the teaching and learning materials needed to support each chapter, removing the need for lecturers to look for additional class and test materials, and giving students the resources they need to check and build on their understanding.
- The new edition offers an extremely user-friendly approach with a wide range of pedagogical features, an accessible writing style and attractive layout, to help students readily engage with the material.
- New to this edition
- Content has been updated throughout, with a large proportion of new case and illustrative material added.
