Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.

Written by leading scholar Paul Todd, this Advanced Introduction draws on the author's decades of experience researching and teaching maritime law, offering a clear and concise introduction to the core areas of the field. In addition to providing a primer on the substance, it explains the worldwide applications of English law, and surveys the sources of law and how to locate them. It also highlights some of the difficulties in interpreting the law and pinpoints which individuals have been instrumental in doing so, and in making and developing the law.

Key features include:

broad but concise coverage of international sales, carriage of goods by sea, marine insurance and admiralty law
the provision of references and citations for further study
exploration of the recent and likely future developments for the field.

The Advanced Introduction to Maritime Law will be a key resource for students and non-specialist scholars of commercial law, transport law and maritime law, while also appealing to professionals with an interest in expanding their knowledge of the topic.

Industry Reviews

'This short book covers the sort of introductory background and contextual material that often has to be crammed into the first week or so of maritime commercial law courses studied in the UK (in particular). "Maritime Law" is treated broadly so as to include international sales and marine insurance, as well as traditional carriage and Admiralty issues. The book will particularly suit international students, unfamiliar with the common law system, and uses simple, colloquial - sometimes even conversational - language.' -- Professor Nick Gaskell, University of Queensland, Australia
