Is this Environmental "Law" or Environmental "Science"?,
By Poker Pro "Always Learning" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Environmental Law (Examples & Explanations) (Paperback)
As most law students have experienced, the "Examples and Explanations" series is usually a step above the other study aids, with its focus on real-world, exam-style questions and answers. "Examples" usually gives you the black letter law, some basic questions to make sure you understand the nuances, and then helps you connect the dots in your course with more detailed mini-essay questions. Sadly, the "Environmental Law" installment of this series is woefully disappointing.
Essentially, this STUDY AID reads more like a textbook for an Environmental Science course, and a particularly radical, biased textbook at that! Now, I'm not anti-environment (I wouldn't be taking Environmental Law if I was), but at times it seems like fully half this text is filled with extraneous commentary on the impending collapse of global civilization. I have no idea whether this is true or not, but this does NOT help one answer questions on the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, or RCRA. Hundreds of pages that could have been devoted to applying federal statutes is wasted in this manner (and not just by way of background, either). One wonders how much of a smaller carbon footprint the author would have had if he had kept to his assigned subject! With all its faults, I can't recommend this particular installment in "E&E" series... just sticking with your casebook and statutory supplement is almost certainly a better bet. If you like to read about environmental science and ecology in your spare time, however, here's your book.

This review is from: Environmental Law (Examples & Explanations) (Paperback)
Wonderful book. Was the perfect substitute for reading my casebook, outlining, or even going to class.
