The Supreme Court and the Environment
The Reluctant Protector
- Michael Wolf - University of Florida, USA
Politics & International Relations
Instead of taking the more traditional route of listing court decisions, The Supreme Court and the Environment puts the actual cases in a subsidiary position, as part of a larger set of documents paired with incisive introductions that illustrate the fascinating and sometimes surprising give-and-take with Congress, federal administrative agencies, state and local governments, environmental organizations and private companies, and industry trade groups that have helped define modern environmental policy.
"While the role of the Supreme Court in environmental issues has spawned several dissertations and generated a significant number of law review articles, this book fills a noticeable gap, as precious few monographs treat the subject holistically...Given the paucity of books on the subject, this work should be extremely useful to instructors as an integral text in courses on environmental law or policy."
