Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The topic of ''Decision Making in Environmental Law'' encompasses a vast and complex milieu of regulation, legal principles, administrative procedures and discretion. The subject matter plays out in multiple legal dimensions, including legislation and common law, private and public law, and international, federal and domestic law. Paddock, Glicksman and Bryner have brought together a veritable ''Who's Who'' of leading environmental scholars to produce an excellent collection of chapters that bring order to, and provide incisive analysis of, the multi-dimensional legal landscape of modern environmental decision-making. This volume should be the first point of reference for scholars, students, members of the judiciary and regulators with an interest in the topic.' -- David Grinlinton, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and Western University, Canada
