The central theme of this compilation of legal issues, concepts, and findings is the need for the businessperson to appreciate the flexibility of business law.

While it is unrealistic to expect that learners will be spending every waking moment wondering about their mental development, this book is based on the view that all learners have some desire to improve their minds. The second assumption of the book is that learning is a participant activity; we do not learn best by just watching someone else think and create. Thus, this book presents dozens of specific active learning hints for using the college experience to maximize learning opportunities. The theme is that great learners possess knowledge that the rest of us can all mimic; this book shares that knowledge with interested college students. The point is that college is not just about surviving or getting good grades, but is rather a potential treasure house of opportunities for mental growth.
