Anotacija:

     The authors of this guide aim to make the substance of the legislation comprehensible in the light of the philosophical, scientific and political debates from which it sprang. They explain the difficult concepts which lie at the heart of the legislation, and their clear approach will make the law accessible to readers who have no experience of having to deal with, and understand, legal technicalities.
