Recenzii
[this] book takes a refreshing look at environmental law in the context of sustainability, focusing on rigorous analysis and reflective consideration of the topics made relevant across jurisdictions...It will be...stimulating to established scholars in this area, but also those coming to the subject for the first time...the intellectually challenging approach, combined with a most reasonable price tag, mean that this book should easily earn a place in all environmental law libraries.
This is a remarkable book, not only for its critical analysis of the law for sustainable development, but for the fact that it is, in this reviewer's knowledge, the only book suitable for scholars and students alike that undertakes a comprehensive, comparative approach to unraveling the complexities of the law for sustainable development in a manner that does not leave the reader wallowing in a state of confusion and uncertainty...This will be a useful reference for specialist topics, such as Indigenous Peoples, law and the environment and public participation in environmental decision-making as well as being suitable as a text in a foundation environmental law course...this book does an excellent job of covering the broad landscape of environmental law for sustainability and it is highly recommended.Michael Jeffery, QC
.a collection of thought-provoking and condensed essays, addressing some of the key roles of environmental law from the viewpoint of diverse scholars.I can fully recommend this book to students, fellow academics, practitioners and government officials.
.the book is remarkable for achieving coherence and unity in a work of such diversity and complexity. If Environmental Law for Sustainability was the only environmental law book a newcomer to the area had read, he or she would come away with considerable historic and general knowledge, as well as deep and insightful critiques on detailed and complex questions that are at the forefront of current issues facing law and sustainability.a unique and very useful tool, not only for students taking their first steps on the path of sustainability law, but for well-seasoned travellers as well.
The book's main appeal rests in its critique of both traditional and emerging areas of environmental law, and its ability to offer a truly interdisciplinary perspective.its mixture of clear overviews of the current state of the law and critical debates makes it a stimulating read for both expert researchers and students new to the field.
[This] is a fascinating book. It addresses some of the most topical issues in international environmental law and policy, and does so informatively and interestingly. a stimulating and valuable contribution to the discourse on the interrelationship between environmental law and sustainability.
It demonstrates the variety of the concept and provides substantial propositions for further discourse and research.
