Environmental Law

Almost every action that we take, both as private citizens and within business and industry, impacts upon the environment in some way. Indeed, the environment is rarely off the political or legislative agenda, in the UK, Europe or globally. In this second edition of his very successful guide Environmental Law: A Practical Handbook, John Garbutt has revised his commentary to cover recent developments in this fast changing area of the law, updating in particular: ? water ? waste management ? air pollution ? contaminated land ? public rights of access to environmental legislation. Environmental Law: A Practical Handbook has been written to provide lawyers, professional advisers and those within business and industry affected by environmental legislation with the basic information needed to understand the legislative framework and to deal with questions and problems that inevitably arise. Commentary on the first edition praises the success with which Environmental Law: A Practical Handbook meets its appointed aims: "?a succinct?handbook for which many practitioners will be grateful." ? The Law Society?s Gazette "?aimed at solicitors, but is, in fact, no more difficult for the non-lawyer?" ? International Journal of Environmental Studies "?an interesting and easy-to-read introduction." ? The Legal Executive Journal "?good, clear and short read for anyone with interests in environment." ?
