by Josh Eagle, James E. Salzman, Barton H. Thompson Jr.
Part of the Concepts and Insights series
Paperback / softback
Description
Natural Resources Law and Policy is a user-friendly, concise, inexpensive text on how we manage our valuable resources.
Written to be an enjoyable and informative guide to natural resources, rather than used as a dry reference source, the authors provide a broad conceptual overview of natural resource management while also explaining the major statutes, cases, and doctrines.
The book is intended for three audiences - students (both graduate and undergraduate) seeking a readable study guide for their natural-resource and environmental courses; professors who do not use casebooks (relying on their own materials or case studies) but want an integrating text or want to include conceptual materials on the major legal issues; and practicing lawyers and professionals who want a readable overview of the field. The first part of the book explains the major themes and issues that cross-cut natural resources law as well as the relevant legal doctrines from administrative law, constitutional law, and standing.
The second part of the book explores the management of specific natural resources - from fisheries, forests and frogs to national parks, oil and water, and others.
A series of problem exercises run throughout the book, describing a legal or policy conflict in detail and asking students to identify and assess solutions. Textual boxes out set out the details of important judicial opinions.
