About this title

Synopsis

The authors closely examine the premise that environmental law has progressed from an anti-pollution, anti-public works movement to a more established perspective that influences all decisions on the use of natural resources.The book leads students to a deep understanding of the legal, policy, and regulatory aspects, one step at a time Opening the book with two cases that raise basic issues -- "What is environmentalism?" and "What are the sources of environmental law?" -- that immediately show the relevance of the interdisciplinary material-- Advancing the discussion with a blend of foundational cases and the latest court decisions-- Offering more accessible notes that present basic information about the purpose of regulatory programs and provide alternative and supplementary perspectives-- Integrating domestic and international environmental law to show how U.S. law has shaped international law and how evolving international norms are influencing U.S. law-- Drawing interdisciplinary materials from the three major sources of environmentalism -- science, ethics, and economics -- to convey the underpinnings of environmental law as well as their limits-- Asking pointed questions so students can develop their own perspectives on the pros and cons of various policy instruments-- Incorporating charts and graphics throughout the book for more engaging discussions and greater accessibility
