Customer Reviews

an excellent companion volume for students

Findlay and Farber treat environmental issues in this work that is a part of the "Nutshell" legal series. Law students snap these works up around exam time to make sure they haven't missed any valuable tidbits, and this book has that sort of "Cliff's Notes" feel to it -- that is, it is not an exhaustive environmental law treatise, but makes an excellent supplement to such treatises.
