'In Comparative Law, Mathias Siems has produced a wide-ranging yet succinct and crisply written introduction to the field of comparative law. The glossy photos of apples and oranges on the book's cover communicate two insights that are woven throughout the volume. First, law - like fruit - invites comparison, explicit or implicit, in order to be thoroughly appreciated and perfected. Second, comparative analysis will fail, at some level, to capture fully the unique, distinctive, and incomparable features of any given legal problem, culture, institution, or case. Siems digests mountains of pedagogical and scholarly materials written from many different cultural, historical, linguistic, and disciplinary perspectives, and manages to do so in an elegant, nuanced, and contextualized manner. The book will be a valuable resource for twenty-first-century students and scholars, particularly those who are new to comparative law.' Julie C. Suk, American Journal of Comparative Law.
