| Business Law and the Legal Environment of Business, 2nd Edition is a textbook suitable for a range of college courses such as Business Law I, Business Law II, Legal Environment of Business and related courses. It includes 44 chapters and also includes an Instructor's Manual and a Test Bank available to adopters both of which were also written by me.
The book is based on Legal Environment of Business, a book that was previously published by Prentice Hall in 1997. It has been completely rewritten, revised, updated and expanded from the original while retaining my student-centered approach to the subject and clear, direct prose with a minimum of ancillary materials that too often serve to distract and confuse students rather than enlighten them. Realistic examples are used throughout the text to illustrate key concepts and end of chapter sample cases suitable for class discussion or to be assigned as homework are available in every chapter. Ethics is covered in its own chapter and is also infused throughout the book, including as end of chapter exercises for many chapters intended to stimulate critical thinking and allow students to differentiate between what is legal and what is ethical as the twain, alas, do not always meet.
The book was published in 2011 and retails for under $40 with iPhone, PDF, and online, and soft-cover editions available starting at $9.95. The book can be purchased directly or through campus bookstores at adopting institutions. It is less expensive for students to simply order whatever version or bundle they choose. But even with bookstore markups, the book and eBook bundle should sell for under $60. (Book and PDF/Online version bundles cost $39.95 directly at present, though prices are set by my publisher and are subject to change.) Early adopters include a wide range of diverse institutions, including an AACSB-accredited school of business with graduate programs (other than my own), community colleges, technical colleges and traditional baccalaureate institutions. Review copies can be requested by legal studies/business law faculty from my publishes at http://www.textbookmedia.com and additional information about the text, including sample chapters, can be accessed from my publisher directly at http://www.textbookmedia.com/Products/ViewProduct.aspx?id=3487. You can also find additional information about me at http://www.victordlopez.com and can contact me directly by clicking on the "contact me" button on my main page. I would be very happy to answer any questions that I can or put you in contact directly with my publisher who actually promptly and cheerfully answers my calls and emails personally.
Thank you for your interest. I will post information about my Business Law: An introduction 2e (previously published in its first edition by Irwin/Mirror Press and McGraw Hill) shortly as well.

| Another author of textbooks was posting to this forum and there are a couple authors of technical books that could likely be used as texts. That's a monumental work. Congratulations for its completion. |
