In a textbook combining material pertinent to environmental law--primarily pollution control--and natural resources law, Pearson (Creighton U. School of Law) provides some theory, perspective, and a survey of foundational materials (e.g. the environmental movement's impact on legal controls, common law and Constitutional considerations for resolving environmental disputes). Coverage includes deep treatment of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act, and the "Superfund Law"; and aspects of US natural resources law such as the National Environmental Policy Act, federal land management, and the Endangered Species Act. Includes a table of cases. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
