Originally published in 2004. Examining the successes and failures
of three decades of environmental law, this absorbing book
reconsiders some of the policies devised to remedy centuries of
abuse of the planet. It acknowledges the advances made using
technological standards to effect pollution control as well as
rudimentary systems that regulate use of land at the local level.
However, as the author observes, these systems have limitations in
solving vexing problems such as sprawl and non-point source
pollution, as the cost of their use can easily outweigh the
benefits. He suggests a system, termed 'Green Wood in the Bundle of
Sticks', that provides the necessary theoretical and historical
bases to bridge the gap between the potentials of each system.
Using objective criteria based on science, this system is tied to a
land ownership system that also takes into account societal
concerns at a broader level.
