Trusted by generations of students and academics alike, Donald McGillivray and Ole Pedersen provide a welcome update of this leading environmental law textbook. The 8th edition continues to provide broad and comprehensive coverage of the key topics taught on most environmental law courses, explaining the subject in its social and political context and considering both UK and international perspectives.
Known for its clear structure and systematic approach, topics are considered by theme and by sector, allowing more experienced readers to explore the intricacies of the subject while also providing a logical introduction for those new to environmental law or without a legal background.

Review from previous edition 'Environmental Law is an essential resource for me and my students. It can be relied upon to provide clear, concise and relevant detail in sufficient depth.

It is clearly written from a legal perspective but easily accessible to non-lawyers.' * George Hutchinson, Professor of Environmental Economics, Queen's University Belfast *More details
