Reviews

Praise for the Previous Edition ""The authors clearly have a very detailed understanding of the relevant laws and provide a comprehensive overview of the links between these and environmental health. (The book's) value lies in meeting the generalist needs of public interest groups, high school teachers, first year introductory undergraduate courses and, possibly, environmental health practitioners."" —Progress in Physical Geography, Vol. 28, No. 4, 2004
