This law school coursebook in environmental law in the United States is organized around legal themes such as differential governmental sovereignties; the variety of statutory approaches; compliance, enforcement, and dispute resolution; private and public rights and responsibilities; and globalization and convergence. The new edition has added two new chapters covering how international legal norms enter into domestic environmental law and the use of cost-benefit analysis as a prescriptive standard for regulation. It has also added greater coverage of market-enlisting approaches and the political history of environmental law, as well as significant new cases and materials.
