Review

`'This collection comes from two of the most widely respected academics in the field. It is well organized into ten parts...The collection is stated in the preface to be intended primarily for student use in courses on international environmental law, but will also be of great assistance to
practitioners needing access to the main international materials within a manageable volume.''
