Written in a fresh and lively style and supported by a strong analytical framework, the eighth edition of Pearce & Stevens' Trusts and Equitable Obligations continues to provide students with a relevant and exciting examination of a subject that can seem remote and difficult.

The authors take a modern and conceptual approach to the wide array of topics covered in undergraduate equity and trusts modules, helping students explore the many ways in which trusts impact on everyday life, and in the world of finance and commerce. The text is accessible without compromising detailed critical comment, and engages with key issues such as the protection of privacy, enforcing informal promises, trusts and the family home, and assessing public interest in charities.

Digital formats and resources The eighth edition is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by online resources.

· The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access along with functionality tools, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks · The online resources include: flashcards of key terms; bi-annual updates on the latest key developments in equity and trusts; and self-test questions on key topics, with feedback, providing an opportunity for students to test and consolidate their learning. For lecturers, the site provides a test bank of multiple choice questions and PowerPoint slides to use in teaching.
