The series comprehensively surveys the literature on law and economics, but, diverging from the 2000 first edition, each volume is now considered an independent publication as well as part of
the whole. Law scholars primarily from the US, but also the Low Countries and Britain discuss links between the two fields in matters of property. Their topics include property rights in legal
history, private and common property rights, nuisance, title systems and recordation of interests, the economics of slavery, and property rights in environmental goods as an example of new
forms of private property. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
