5.0 out of 5 stars
A Landmark Book, December 5, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Environmental Law: From Resources to Recovery (Hornbook Series) (Hardcover)
The history of environmental law in this country is one of media by media legislation where pollution is chased from air to water to land rather than cleaned-up. In this book Celia Campbell-Mohn et.al. revolutionizes the way in which environmental law is organized and analyzed. Instead of breaking the environment into sectors as resources (species, minerals) and sinks for pollution (air, land, water, groundwater) she creates a new approach, the Resources To Recovery model, which divides the human interfaces with nature into sectors (extraction, manufacture and disposal) and treats nature comprehensivly within each interface. This book is totally unlike any other effort to understand and organize our legal relationship to the environment and it deserves attention. If you have time to read but one book in the area of environmental law and policy this year, this should be it......
