Environmental Protection Deskbook (Environmental Law Series)

Written in clear, non-technical language for professionals in the engineering and scientific communities, this updated guide explores the development and current state of environmental law in the U.S., covering programs for clean air, clean water, waste, hazardous waste, pesticides, conservation, and more. The Second Edition now features two separate and expanded chapters on resource conservation programs and wetlands protection, and an extensive discussion of The Endangered Species Act. The book also provides greater coverage of the regulatory takings issue, and new material on international environmental law, with emphasis on NAFTA.
