Library Journal Review

Environmental law influences how we live, what we drive, what fuel we use, where we put our garbage, and how we clean our air and water. As citizens, we need to understand these laws and how they come into being. In simple and clear language, this title explains the fundamentals of environmental law. After an introduction to the subject, the dictionary covers key concepts, terms, individuals, legislation, agencies, and organizations. Entries include details of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Superfund Law and explanations of terms like corrective action, executive order, and industrial user. Cross references abound, and terms that have their own entries are boldfaced. The bibliography, extensive index, and tables of statutes, regulations, and cases are very useful. Some of this information is covered in Beacham's Guide to Environmental Issues (LJ 12/93) and Environmental Encyclopedia (LJ 6/1/94), but this title is unique in that it specifically covers all aspects of environmental law. Highly recommended for all libraries.-Eva Lautemann, Dekalb Coll. Lib., Clarkston, Ga. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

CHOICE Review

The subtitle of this work is misleading, since it is more encyclopedia than brief-entry dictionary, with some articles as long as eight pages, all in flowing, readable prose. A 30-page commentary is followed by the main body of entries, which provide comprehensive, cross-referenced definitions but go far beyond to give background and development information as well. Other features include an eight-page bibliography; a table of all cases cited; tables of statutes and regulations; and a comprehensive general index. Highly recommended for all types of libraries and for anyone interested in environmental issues. B. K. Delzell New Mexico State University
