Law's Environment

Reviews / Votes

"Nagle reveals a remarkably nuanced understanding of the many ways that law affects the landscape. I wanted to visit each place after reading the book and found myself looking differently at the landscape around me."-Michael P. Vandenbergh, Carlton Takington Professor of Law and Director, Climate Change Research Network, Vanderbilt University Law School -- Michael P. Vandenbergh "Environmental law and policy are usually talked about in abstract terms. It's easy to lose track of the concrete settings that shape environmental law. This is a two-way interaction: the law itself is shaped by particular disputes in particular places. Professor Nagle resurrects this lost dimension of environmental law in lively, readable narratives. He tells the stories of some of the special places that have been touched by environmental law and of the people who live there. A 'must read' for anyone who cares about how the law and the land affect each other."-Dan Farber, Sho Sato Professor of Law and Chair, Energy and Resources Group -- Dan Farber "Nagle has written an important book on environmental law that should be of great interest to students and scholars of law and society."-J. A. Pierceson, Choice -- J. A. Pierceson * Choice *
