BOOKS RECEIVED AND BOOK REVIEWS Vanessa Mak, Performance-Oriented Remedies in European Sale of Goods Law, Oxford, Hart Publishing, 2009, 209 pages & bibliography Contemplating the movement towards European legal integration, Sir Jack Beatson showed more than a decade ago how dangerous such a trend might be for the existence of the common law. Its future, he warned, is threatened among other things by the many implementations in English law of European Directives at least those which take a civil-law approach.1 Trying to define precisely to what extent English private law has borrowed civil-law rules, concepts or features through European law would be extremely difficult. But even if the substantive law of English common law remains different in many respects from that of the civil law, it would be hard to deny the growing importance, in the European Union, of what Patrick Glenn once called the `civilization of the common law', that is the `slow, informal process by which the common law tradition has begun to share major components of the civil law tradition'.2 Vanessa Mak's book, an updated version of the thesis she defended at the University of Oxford,3 is but one outstanding example of this trend.
