Routledge Legal Foundations of Environmental Planning: Textbook-Casebook and Materials on Environmental Law

Review -Legal Foundations of Environmental Planning is an invaluable reference and resource especially for lawyers and judges who have little personal experience in handling environmental cases, as well as environmental professionals and urban planners who are well served to anticipate potential legal problems before making potentially costly decisions. Highly recommended, especially for college library legal studies collections.- --Library Bookwatch -[This] is a hefty volume, albeit shorter than the 1000-page length which is customary for legal casebooks. It is prepared in the conventional style with brief introductory notes by the author heading each section and subsection. These are followed by extensive case decisions interspersed with some statutory material and excerpts from government documents.- --Rutherford H. Platt, The Professional Geographer -The readings, while of use to general students of urban affairs, are well beyond the introductory stage and utilize a substantial amount of current and sometimes technical empirical research. Authors are predominantly from economics and planning but sociologists, geographers, and political scientists are also represented.- --Robert Warren, The Western Political Science Quarterly "Legal Foundations of Environmental Planning is an invaluable reference and resource especially for lawyers and judges who have little personal experience in handling environmental cases, as well as environmental professionals and urban planners who are well served to anticipate potential legal problems before making potentially costly decisions.
