“The authors of The Law on Disability Issues in the Workplace are successful in making a complicated and evolving topic easier to understand. This is done not only through their clear and approachable writing style, but also through their use of lists, headings, a table of cases, and an index. The book’s design also adds to its readability: the soft cover means that it can lay flat easily, and its smart use of colour helps distinguish the various parts of the book. It is recommended for labour and employment lawyers and human resources professionals, and it would also be a valuable resource for libraries supporting these practitioners.”
