Review
`Written by two of the greatest legal scholars of recent times, this has been and still is one of the best academic texts on environmental law.' Dr Jona Razzaque ELFline July 2002
`Review from previous edition 'This collection comes from two of the most widely respected academics in the field. It is well organized into ten parts...The collection is stated in the preface to be intended primarily for student use in courses on international environmental law, but will also be of great assistance to practitioners needing access to the main international materials within a manageable volume.'' Journal of Environmental Law
`'The book is very much a working manual for those interested in the interplay between environmental issues and the international legal system. It is commendably free of unnecessary forewords or introductions and is as up to date as it is reasonably possible to be in this field. It also indicates whether or not the appropriate measure has come into force - a critical component for the professional practitioner.'' Scottish Planning and Environmental Law

5.0 out of 5 stars
Exhaustive and Complete,

This review is from: International Law and the Environment (Paperback)
This is simply an outstanding addition to the field. There are other good resources out there but I found Birnie & Boyle's work one of the best. It continues to be one of my basic references - despite having become slightly dated. I recommend it with only one reservation: the authors use of endnotes rather than footnotes is aggravating. Perhaps the next edition will address this irksome problem?

This review is from: International Law and the Environment (Paperback)
I used this book as a resource for my LLM thesis and it proved very useful. It provides good background knowledge on the evolution of environmental law in international law. I wish it had some case summaries though.
