Reviews
The fact that this book is not simply aimed at legal experts in no way detracts from the value of its contents, since the authors are all profoundly knowledgeable about the topics in question. An added benefit is that, notwithstanding the complex topic of the study, it is easy to read and highly educational, especially to non-legal specialists, and provides a strong blend of depth and simplicity. This book accordingly merits praise not only for its design, aim and objectives, but also, and in equal measure, for its form and content. Montserrat Abad Castelos, University Carlos III of Madrid, Review of European Community & International Environmental Law, 25 (1) 2016 By delivering an extensive volume with a convincing structure and an intelligent system of cross-referencing throughout every one of its parts, Environmental and Energy Law manages to remain in a comfortable middle-ground between the legal abstraction of general principles and the details of regulations on technical standards. And this middle ground is precisely what allows the volume to be an interesting option for engineers, economists and even entrepreneurs apart from being a comprehensive source of information for legal scholars and an enjoyable textbook for students (of law or broader environmental studies alike) with exercises and case studies. The introductory intention that stressed that lawyers would be invited to learn about engineering and scientific developments, preparing themselves for regulatory challenges of the future, is well kept: I could say that as an international lawyer, this volume indeed helped me to have a more accurate glimpse as to the links between environmental law and engineering and science. Indeed, after reaching the last page of this volume, I can affirm that Karen E. Makuch and Ricardo Pereira s Environmental and Energy Law manages to demonstrate, with immediate and actual examples, that policy and regulation can act as major innovation-driving forces, a conclusion that is so important for engineers and investors as it is for all lawyers and students of law.
