Reviews
Review from previous edition This [is] an excellent textbook to provide an introduction to the subject of environmental law. It is clear and provides a very strong explanation to the difficult concepts that surround this subject. * Catherine Caine, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Exeter * An excellent book for those studying a general Environmental Law module ... as a general frame of reference and as a particular source for specific issues. * Thomas Murphy, Senior Lecturer in Law, Ulster University * This book has been and remains the first choice of undergraduate textbook in this area. ... It has not yet been and is unlikely ... to be surpassed in that role. * John Pearson, Senior Lecturer in Law, Manchester Metropolitan University *
