Required for class,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Environmental Regulation: Law, Science, and Policy, Sixth Edition (Hardcover)
Let's be honest - all law books (and most college level textbooks, for that matter) are overpriced. Amazon prices beat college bookstore prices. None of the books are really that interesting, or particularly well written. Law books are generally compilations of court cases that you can obtain for free online, but when a professor assigns reading from particular texts what is one to do? I don't find Environmental Law that interesting, but this book did include a good amount of supplemental material and explanation to go along with the cases that proved to be somewhat useful.
