Environmental Law |
|
|
Environmental Law is a book designed to introduce those without any legal or special scientific training to the system of laws through which our nation attempts to preserve the environment. Although this book was written for college students at either the undergraduate or master's level, it was intended to also be useful to anyone interested in learning about our system of environmental law, and to be a helpful reference for anyone in business who is attempting to negotiate the morass of environmental regulations that affect businesses today. From the comments that I have received from users of the book, it is clear that in some sense, the book is meeting these goals. Readers of the book range from graduate and undergraduate students to businesspersons and ordinary citizens interested in environmental law. Reflecting the fact that background knowledge is often important for understanding specific areas of law, this book provides two key types of background necessary for understanding environmental law. First, the initial chapters explain how our legal system functions in general. Second, the initial portions of the latter chapters provide the basic scientific knowledge necessary for understanding environmental law. Thus, the reader may gain a fundamental understanding of not only what the laws are but also why they are needed. Because the law in this area is constantly in flux, this book is regularly revised to ensure that the information contained within it is current. The most recent edition was published in 1999 |
