Megan Richardson, Professor of Law, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne, Australia
'Megan Richardson's work on privacy is evangelical. It explains the
origins and teaching of privacy and navigates wisely between hope
and despair with respect to privacy in this age of Surveillance
Capitalism. This well written gospel (or ''good news'') of privacy
law will not only inform the mind, but more importantly, inspire
vibrant spiritual adherence to this unique construct of the human
species.'
--Paul de Hert, Brussels University-Tilburg, Belgium'Megan
Richardson's superb new book Advanced Introduction to Privacy Law
provides an overview of privacy law that is concisely written yet
broad in its scope, accessible to non-experts yet rich in its
insights. Focusing on the Anglo-American legal tradition but
drawing upon its interactions with EU law and other jurisdictions,
Richardson masterfully steers readers through the historical roots
and multiple strands of privacy law to the challenges of the
contemporary digital world. I will definitely be recommending this
book to students, colleagues, and privacy professionals alike.'
--Lisa Austin, University of Toronto, Canada'This Advanced
Introduction to Privacy Law is an exceptional book. Clearly written
and accessible, it provides a detailed and nuanced account of the
key theoretical and legal issues at the heart of contemporary
debates about privacy. This book makes a substantial contribution
to the field and is essential reading for anyone interested in the
future of privacy.'
--Benjamin Goold, University of British Columbia, Canada
