This almost-pocket (5x8.25") supplementary text is designed to augment an introductory survey course that focuses on pollution-control aspects of environmental law. The book begins by examining key policy issues at the heart of environmental laws, then overviews two areas critical to understanding environmental law: constitutional law and administrative law. Major pollution control and conservation statutes, such as the Clean Air Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, are examined. The book concludes with discussion of the enforcement of environmental law by the EPA and by private citizens, and a review of international environmental law. Chapter summaries and a glossary of key phrases and legislation are included. Nash teaches law at Emory University and has been published in many top-ranked law journals.
