Edited by John McEldowney, Professor of Law, University of Warwick, UK and Sharron McEldowney, Emeritus Fellow, formerly University of Westminster, UK

‘As editors of this wide-ranging and insightful volume, Professor John McEldowney and Sharron McEldowney have compiled an important collection of essays and leaned articles gleaned mainly from a selection of influential and authoritative academic journals from both sides of the Atlantic and worldwide as well. . . As part of the Elgar Research Collection, this is definitely a book for academics and scholars as well as environmental lawyers who will appreciate its comparative law orientation and emphasis. Also to be appreciated by researchers is the copious footnoting throughout, which contains a wealth of reference sources. In all, the book is a valuable and richly resourced contribution to the literature of environmental law.’
