Book Description
There is no time more exciting than the present to be studying environmental law. The earth and the creatures that inhabit it are in great jeopardy, as life support systems across the planet are being assailed from all directions. However, there is no shortage of environmental law. A consequence of the law explosion is that anything approaching adequate coverage in a text or a course becomes less plausible with each passing day. However, a student who acquires a working knowledge of the leading U.S. laws (CAA, CWA, FIFRA, TSCA, RCRA, CERCLA, NEPA, ESA) will be prepared for what the future brings. This treatise covers those topics providing a comprehensive understanding of the field, enhance law student performance on exams and also provide a useful guide for attorneys practicing in this area.
