Environmental law influences how we live, what we drive, what fuel we use, where we put our garbage, and how we clean our air and water. As citizens, we need to understand these laws and how they come into being. In simple and clear language, this title explains the fundamentals of environmental law. After an introduction to the subject, the dictionary covers key concepts, terms, individuals, legislation, agencies, and organizations. Entries include details of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Superfund Law and explanations of terms like corrective action, executive order, and industrial user. Cross references abound, and terms that have their own entries are boldfaced. The bibliography, extensive index, and tables of statutes, regulations, and cases are very useful. Some of this information is covered in Beacham's Guide to Environmental Issues (LJ 12/93) and Environmental Encyclopedia (LJ 6/1/94), but this title is unique in that it specifically covers all aspects of environmental law. Highly recommended for all libraries.
