The book is filled with figures and diagrams. largely well thought out and useful aids to understanding. 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. clearly a useful and important reference text. Its 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 Promo Copy
