Chapter 1: An Introduction to Environmental Law


“The flow, logic, and coverage of this book are excellent, and the case studies are a very valuable addition. The authors recognize legitimate business concerns and the challenges faced by policy-makers and regulators, while being suitably critical when public policy falls short.”

—ALAN DIDUCK, UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG
