Focusing on the contracts of sophisticated parties (rather than consumer contracts or agreements between those without access to counsel), the author explores contract law and design in the US,
the economic problems faced by contracting parties, and tools for dealing with them. He discusses direct and consequential damages, the excuse doctrines (including impossibility,
impracticality, and frustration), and offer and acceptance. Some material in the book has been previously published. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
