Don't judge a book by its cover. This book however, can be judged by its title.

It contains all key concepts in relation to CSR, which is why it will be recommended as reading material for students to have a better understanding of CSR.

This book as the concept map. This book is very useful for main understanding of the core themes of CSR. I and my students found here the main definitions, relationships between related contructs and practical issues. For students it is useful that they can read succinct information about CSR meaning and applicability.
