Reviews

`This book enriches the existing literature on environmental law and policy by discussing the often underestimated influence of facts and feelings on policy decisions. Its scientific approach and the wide experience of the contributors have generated a full consideration of all facets of the problem, including the points of view of industry, environmentalists, scientists and judges. Participation problems, the precautionary principle, the innovation principle and the judges' problems of making decisions in cases of tensions between facts and feelings are discussed in detail. The book presents an innovative and thought-inspiring insight into the challenges and difficulties of environmental decision-making.' -- Ludwig Kramer, Derecho y Medio Ambiente S.L., Spain
