Environmental Law: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) Paperback – Illustrated, 26 Oct. 2017

good

Environmental issues have becoming pressing considerations for millions around the world for various, multi-faceted reasons. The handful of Environmental Law textbooks available in various jurisdictions written with legal academics and practitioners in mind do not make the topic accessible to the average person on the street whose life may be seriously affected by environmental conditions. This short introduction is an affordable and accessible introductory text which can assist the layperson to think about and identify how they can approach a lawyer for practical legal help with their environmental issues.The text does not address the international, regional and national human rights frameworks that engage with Environmental Law and it would benefit from more practical case examples to illustrate how discrete problems in Environmental Law are and can be challenged effectively through legal processes so I have deducted one star for my review, but this introductory text is most certainly a vital investment for anyone looking at the most important issues of our age.

Great little book and easy to understand.
