Summary

The Eighth Edition provides up-to-date treatment of climate change issues. This classic casebook provides students with a thorough understanding of all major federal environmental regulatory schemes as well as insight into current policy controversies. Particular attention is given to the proper role of cost-benefit analysis, the appropriate judicial role in reviewing agency decisions, and the impact of constitutional decisions relating to federalism, standing, and takings. It also covers the latest Supreme Court cases on subjects from Superfund to water pollution, as well as the major regulatory changes in the first year of the Obama Administration.
