About this product
Product Information
Dispels the conventional belief that American environmental law was a product of the 1970s, finding instead that its origins go back to New Deal and Cold War policies, and traces the dramatic post-war shift in the way Americans viewed the natural environment.

An enthusiastic, generous, inclusive, daring, and insightful exploration of that long-rumored beast described as environmental law.Beautifully written, carefully and lovingly researched, and wonderfully revealing.-- William H. Rodgers, Jr. , author of Treatise on Environmental Law Should be required reading in every environmental law class as an antidote to the belief that the subject began in 1969. It deftly demonstrates that all of the elements of environmental law evolved during the quarter century after the end of World War II.-- Dale Goble , author of Wildlife Law: A Primer A fresh and valuable study of the origins of environmental law in the postwar United States.-- Mark Harvey , author of Wilderness Forever, "An enthusiastic, generous, inclusive, daring, and insightful exploration of that long-rumored beast described as "environmental law."

Not only is Brookss main thesis undeniable, but so is his notion that law is made in an iterative fashion by a multitude of different actorsincluding activists, property owners, their lawyers, elected representatives, and administrative agencies on both the state and federal levelsin reaction to the felt necessities imposed by events.
