Ferrey (law, Suffolk U.) presents an introductory textbook to United States environmental law that seems directed towards beginning law school students. Arguing that the scientific background is a necessary component of any understanding of environmental law, he has incorporated scientific information as an integral part of the text. Covering issues, statutes, agency regulations, and court decisions throughout, the work is organized by broad subject matter, including chapters on air quality, water pollution, water use rights, hazardous and solid waste management, energy and power, endangered species, preservation of natural areas, constitutional issues, and international environmental law.
