Review Quotes:
"Like previous editions of this text, the current 4th edition is a hugely useful resource for students, practitioners and academics. It's brevity and accessibility are a major selling point. Specifically, the text is a rich and sophisticated entry point for anyone studying and/or exploring the United Kingdom constitution." --Professor Conall Mallory, Queen's University, Belfast
"This is a clear, accessible introduction to the UK constitution, which those seeking an overview of or a way into studying the topic no doubt find very useful." --Professor Mark Elliot, University of Cambridge "I like the current edition, and indeed the previous editions - this book provides a very valuable overview of key ideas, topics, sources and debates in the UK constitution. It gives a good overall picture of the constitution, and is an excellent background or further reading text for students.." --Professor Michael Gordon, University of Liverpool "Review of Previous Editions - [The] written style is admirably clear, conversational and free from jargon. The chapter discussions are punchy and not too drawn out... It will be of immense interest to any-one with a general interest in UK law, politics and history." --Stuart Lakin, Times Higher Education "Review of Previous Editions - Signposting is clear and helpful. The prose is clear and authoritative. A very valuable introductory survey." --Andrew McDonald, The Law and Politics Book Review
