law say that everything is debatable. May be true, may not. If someone writes a legal evil thing must face the consequences, that is, critical articles, reviews, more or lower level of sales, and even concepts that every reader is about the author.
However, this is a bit different to offer a book that seeks to discuss or analyze an entire legislative body and, finally, practice is limited to play the legal text in the commentary. It appears that the softness in researching and writing and is very common in the law books. In this respect, is known for an author who has the largest number of books published on civil procedural law, but that 90% of the text across all books come to be textual references.
For example, if I buy a book that promises to analyze the new Code and Consumer Protection, I hope to find reflections with a minimum quality that can properly illustrate the complex issues that regulates the new rules. Sure, I can not be so demanding: how is it possible that in less than two months displayed a good book on the subject (the Code was published in early September)? Still, I decided to browse the book "Analysis of the Code of Consumer Protection and Defense", authored by Steven Carbonell O'Brien, with the firm conviction alas! buy.
But great was my surprise when I place the issue of unfair terms (Art. 49 to 52) and note how the author, the commentary of the article, reproduced in full the text and then ... Paraphrases! But come, I thought, must be given another chance. I checked the index and went to page 150 to read what they had developed on the issue of GMOs (especially on a recent and widely criticized Indecopi jurisprudence on the subject), but my indignation was greater: the approach to the issue is totally insecure, lacking in support and above, it appears that the author wants to make fun of readers. I transcribe the beginning of the commentary on Article 37 on the labeling of genetically modified foods, which literally says
"foods that include genetically modified components should be labeled."
Okay. And the commentary says
"The review article states that incorporating foods genetically modified components should indicate on their labels.
is, food that has been genetically modified must be indicated on product labels. To prevent consumers from being misled.
However, it How can you ask convincingly demonstrate that a product incorporating such an element?
Proving it would be very difficult because the country does not exist or laboratory tools to establish and certify whether a product is trnasgénico or not.
Therefore, we can only rely on the good faith and loyalty providers believe in the product labeling and marking, as we established the good faith belief consumers
(...)" (sic) .
This was too much for me. How is it possible that someone could seriously publish this? It's a joke, is an insult to the reader who has already gone through the primary of any school. It is indeed a book about the consumer but the consumer fraud that is acquired. And the editorial (which is Legal Publishers) is not saved. Could it be that can publish a monumental book of Guido Alpa and at the same time, this manual as primary? What do you want? Is it any wonder consumers before anyone else publishing a book on the new Code? Lords of Legal Editors: No pass, then. Law is good that everything is debatable, but with a minimum quality please. Below that level can not get something to market.
Well, fortunately I did not pay the 70 soles that might be the worst spent my entire life.
