Thomas Sullivan provides a clear, consise, and easy to use reference guide for anyone to use. This book not only contains actual text of some major environmental laws, but it also sites case studies and court decisions, all in an easy to read format. This book is a must for anyone dealing in environmental matters, and is a good source of reference for anyone concerned with the environment and public policy.

This handbook is an essential tool to anyone in the environmental field. There are always new additions, so having a recent copy helps but it's not necessary since the environmental laws don't change that much. I would recommend getting a newer edition when a major law has passed so that the reader can understand the impact the new law will have on their community. A copy can usually be found at either the public library or a law library but there is SO MUCH information packed into this book that I highly recommend having your own copy so you can hi-light the text and bookmark the important sections that apply to your business.

Purchasing was very easy through Amazon, The book is exactly what is sold from the school but at a discounted rate. I highly recommend this book to all IH and OSHA professionals.

The book is required for a class so I can't comment on the content since it wasn't my choice. However the book was in better condition than described and came very quickly. Very good value for money given that it was a used book. I will never buy a book brand new again!

I bought a used book, but it is in excellent conditions!!! Great product!! The only thing is that it took around 2 wks to get it. This is probably because I went with the free delivery. Anyway highly reccomended

I work for the Federal Government in the Oil Spill response funding field, and this book is a great reference. I particularly like how the book cites case law that helps me figure out how our regulations ended up being the way they are.

I also like that the book is pretty straight to the point on the topics it covers. If I remember well, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 was explained in 100 pages or less. Some of you may think this is a lot, but it isnt.

I always buy the newest edition to ensure that I am up-to-date regarding case law.

So far the book has proved to be very helpful in my Environmental Law class. Though the chapters where it is simply listing the law are not particularly interesting, the case studies are often very helpful.

This Environmental Law Handbook has proven to be an invaluable resource to me as an environmental mediator and public involvement specialist. I use it constantly so that I can be technically sharp at work. It's dry reading, but very valuable! Paired with the Consensus Building Handbook by Susskind et al, it is the core of any environmental and public policy specialist.

I am very blessed to have gotten it in the nick of time. I had time to read some of the book before my classes started.
