A complete collection of the cases punctuating the judicial renaissance that brought about the acceptance of environmental law as a separate field of study. The first part blends materials on traditional law with nuisance and land-use cases that provide helpful background to statutory materials. The second part is devoted to the protection of fish and wildlife, to air quality, noise controls and water quality, introducing the major cases leading to the Clean Air Act. The last chapters focus on solid waste, toxic substances and electric generation with a particular focus on the National Environmental Policy Act. The Second Edition adds recent important judicial decisions relating to hazardous waste, endangered species, the National Environmental Policy Act, citizen standing and other topics. It also includes significant new material on international environmental law, energy, and environmental justice concerns.
