Essential Reading - Baylis and Smith

Took delivery of my copy of Baylis and Smith today. I've only had a bit of a flick through at this stage but it looks to be really very good. It appears to have loads of interesting features inc maps, glossaries and case studies etc, together with its own 'online resource centre' for downloading case studies and other useful stuff to econimise your efforts. I got mine from Amazon for £19. Top tip: make sure you get the 2004 edn.

Nick - glad you like the textbook. I like it because the editors have commissioned chapters by leading scholars on the respective topics. So you get the latest straight from the horses mouth, as it were...

Nick, Just so that you don't forget us poor folks - now a year behind you ...! Yep - a great, great book - or at least the bits I've now read. I managed to get the 2005 edition - also from Amazon but from this side of the pond! Pip

It is a good book. Theo's being a bit coy about the perspicacity of the editors in choosing leading scholars to contribute chapters one of whom is of course Theo himself!
