REVIEWS

Reviews of 2nd edition
“Professor Wood presents an excellent historical survey of financial law (starting with the establishment of banks and credit systems in the 1400s and developments during the industrial revolution through to the adoption by modern economies of corporate rescue laws). […] Professor Wood goes on to provide a detailed analysis of the various types of security interests and the methods used to create and recognise them.” 
– J Atwood, Uniform Law Review, 2009

“Of the many admirable qualities of the book, perhaps the most admirable is its international approach. All the books in the series shall remain classics in terms of their content and presentation, but this title is one of the centrepieces of the series, providing the reader with a full coverage of key topics and themes in security interests and title finance based on the author's unique description and characterisation of the legal systems worldwide.” 
- G Gómez Giglio, Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation, 2008
