Textbook on Jurisprudence

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Students of jurisprudence often approach this complex subject with a sense of fear. This book provides a clear user friendly analysis of the major theories and controversies of jurisprudence. Whilst the subject is presented in sufficient detail for the student to gain an accurate understanding, they will not be left feeling confused and bewildered. The book starts by examining the nature of jurisprudence, then goes on to outline the content, implications and problems of the major legal theories. This third edition has been expanded to include material on Islamic jurisprudence and postmodern legal theory.
