Irresolute Clay: Shaping the Foundations of Modern Environmental Law de Richard Macrory Hon KC

Irresolute Clay: Shaping the Foundations of Modern Environmental Law

Autor Richard Macrory Hon KC
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 apr 2020
At a time of profound change and rethinking, this book provides insights into how environmental law in the UK has developed into its current form, and considers challenges it will face in the future. Irresolute Clay is not a legal history or textbook, nor a conventional set of legal memoirs. Instead it offers a personal account of the inside stories as experienced by one of the key architects of contemporary environmental law. Taking a thematic approach, it charts fundamental tenets of the subject (such as environmental sanctions, the European dimension, developing the academic discipline of environmental law, and environmental courts and tribunals), from the beginnings of the modern environmental law era in the 1970s to the present day.

Recenzii

This book tells from Richard's unique perspective through first hand accounts the history of modern environmental law as it grew to become a respected discipline. Few if any people have had quite such a lasting influence on environmental law. Politicians come and go but Richard has remained a resilient shaping influence.
Richard Macrory is absolutely the right person to give this account of how the environmental law that we now take for granted developed over the last 50 years: he played a substantial role in shaping it ... Who is this book for? It is academic enough for lawyers, with only a few eyelid-drooping moments of intense legal analysis for non-lawyer readers. It is informative for those who care to see how environmental law has developed, and delightful for those who treasure autobiography. Throughout, the Macrory humour sneaks in, often disguised heavily in weighty points of law.
This is a remarkable book. It is not a textbook. It is a recollection of a lifetime's work in environmental law, but it is very much more. The remembered and collected detail is extraordinary. The reader can see environmental law growing over 50 years, with successes and failures. And perhaps the most useful of all, Professor Richard Macrory sets the reader thinking about where we go from here. The stuff is all here, the text is clear, concentrated reading, thought and reflection are required.
It is beyond dispute that the world faces growing environmental problems - many highlighted in this book - but this is not a 'misery memoir'. Professor Macrory wears his knowledge lightly, and writes well and entertainingly. He has produced a work with accessibility as its hallmark. That ought to ensure its appeal to both lawyer and general reader, and guarantee its success.
An enlightening and compelling account of the history of modern environmental law and its growth, from the unique perspective of one of the founding fathers of the subject.
This is an outstanding book. It deserves to be read widely. Those of us who are privileged to teach environmental law, and to influence the next generation of environmental lawyers, will find this book of immense value.
The account is interesting, well written . and is an entertaining read.
An illuminating and empathetic account of a formative era in British environmental law by one of the founding fathers of the subject.
Environmental law supremo ... The tone is moderate. The mixture is dizzying.
Institutional memory is notoriously lacking among policy makers - ministerial and official - in Whitehall. So, as the UK gets ready to "take back control" of environmental law from the EU, Richard Macrory provides invaluable insights into how that law developed.
Magisterial and magnificent, the father of environmental law in the UK on its making.
