Natural Resources Law

This Hornbook is a comprehensive review of the important natural resources law issues debated today. It surveys legal developments and litigation that have shaped natural resources law throughout the latter half of the 20th century, while emphasizing all changes and decisions and cases that arose from private conflicts, private party conflicts with states, and private party conflicts with federal policy that occurred during the Clinton years and the early years of the Bush administration. Topics include environmental law, the National Environment Policy Act, public lands and natural resources, wildlife law, preservation and recreation law, rangeland law, mining law, timber law, and water law.
