At long last we have a book that can be used as a text for undergraduate and postgraduate corporate governance modules designed for law students. It is well-written and covers many of the subject areas that are likely to feature in corporate governance modules offered to law students. * Andrew Keay, School of Law, University of Leeds, UK * In this important new work, two globally recognized corporate scholars provide an engaging and insightful guide to the complex array of legal, regulatory, and market structures conditioning internal governance of U.K. public companies. Moore and Petrin deftly blend theoretical rigor with pragmatic grounding, and bring considerable comparative sophistication to bear upon their analyses of U.K. corporate governance dynamics. The result is at once exacting and readable, offering great rewards for students, scholars, and practitioners alike. * Christopher Bruner, University of Georgia School of Law, USA * Over the past decade courses on Corporate Governance have proliferated but without a central text that could be used to teach those courses. Here at last is a suitably erudite and well written text that students and academics can use for Corporate Governance and as a supplementary text for Company Law courses. * Alan Dignam, School of Law, Queen Mary, University of London, UK * The book offers a very thorough and comprehensive discussion of what has now emerged as the stand alone subject of corporate governance. It covers extremely well both the theoretical and the regulatory aspects. It is by far the best academic textbook out there and will be an invaluable and irreplaceable source for related postgraduate and undergraduate courses. * Michael Galanis, School of Law, The University of Manchester, UK *
