About the Book

This casebook is noted for its comprehensive legal-process approach to the depth and complexity of modern environmental law:

• broad topical coverage is augmented by a reference section, including a Statutory Capsule Appendix and an annotated Glossary of Acronyms and Abbreviations
• extensive author-written explanations reinforced by a selection of visuals
• statutory and regulatory materials
• hot topical areas, such as “brownfielding” of contaminated sites, risk assessment, regulation of toxics, and hazardous materials

----------

Significant changes and improvements for the Third Edition include:

• two completely new chapters: International Agreements as Domestic Environmental Law and Standard-Setting via Cost-Benefit Procedures
• expanded coverage of market enlisting approaches and government-industry partnerships for achieving environmental quality, the debates over - - command-and-control
• cases and international arbitral decisions under NAFTA
