Publisher's Synopsis
<p> <b>Estates in Land and Future Interests</b> combines graphics, text boxes, and pedagogical techniques especially helpful to visual learners to teach the basics of estates and future interests, a particularly confusing subset of first-year property. One central graphic—a flow chart used to identify the state of the title after a particular conveyance—links various estates to the future interests that follow them. The complete flow chart appears on the inside back cover for easy reference. The text’s step-by-step, process approach breaks up analytical tasks into smaller pieces, reducing the degree to which students get lost in the material. Written in clear, simple language, with short paragraphs and chapters, <b>Estates in Land and Future Interests</b> features an open, attractive design enhanced by graphics to make the material easier to understand. Students are given a variety of opportunities to actively engage the material with problem sets and answers, study questions, and practice exercises. A vocabulary appendix helps them quickly and easily review terms easily. An exact match to the coverage in Dukeminier & Krier’s <b> Property, Estates in Land and Future Interests</b> is a perfect companion to Aspen’s popular casebook. Unlike most ancillary texts, it includes both a Teacher’s Manual and PowerPoint slides to facilitate classroom presentation and visual learning. </p> <p> The<b> Fourth Edition </b>features expanded explanations for the Study Questions throughout the book. </p> <p> <b>Features: </b> </p> <ul> <li> combines graphics, text boxes, and pedagogical techniques to <b>teach the basics of estates and future interests</b>, a particularly confusing subset of first-year property </li> <li> uses one central graphic—<b>a flow chart</b> <ul> <li> identifies the state of the title after a particular conveyance </li> <li> links various estates to the future interests that follow them </li> <li> complete flow chart appears on the inside back cover for easy reference </li> </ul> </li> <li> <b>step-by-step, process approach</b> to break up analytical tasks into accessible pieces </li> <li> written in<b> clear, simple language,</b> with short paragraphs and chapters </li> <li> features an <b>open, attractive design </b>enhanced by graphics </li> <li> provides opportunities for students to actively<b> engage the material</b> <ul> <li> problem sets and answers </li> <li> study questions </li> <li> practice exercises </li> </ul> </li> <li> a <b>vocabulary appendix</b> helps students easily and quickly review terms </li> <li> exactly <b>matches Dukeminier & Krier’s coverage</b> ―a perfect companion to the popular casebook. </li> <li> includes both a <b>Teacher’s Manual and PowerPoint slides</b> to facilitate classroom presentation and visual learning </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> Thoroughly updated, the revised Fourth Edition presents: </p> <p> </p> <p> • expanded explanations for the Study Questions throughout the book </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
