This book addresses the legal-geographical implications of the fact
that landscapes are not static, but dynamic. Within the field of
legal geography, the spatial relationship of law to landscape is
usually considered to be static. Environments are often considered
fixed, and consequently inert, as places that literally don't go
anywhere. Typically, then, it is what happens in these places,
rather than the place itself, that commands academic attention. In
contrast to this static viewpoint, Law and the Kinetic Environment
considers how many landscapes are in flux and, as a result, may be
seen as dynamic. Natural phenomena, such as oozing lava, moving
glaciers, or bubbling geothermal pools, challenge and test the
normative conceptualizations of stability of place, property
ownership, and legal regulation. Consequently, such dynamic
landscapes enliven and transform law, offering new jurisprudential
insights into what law is and how it operates in response to the
kineticism that, this book argues is, to some degree, inherent in
all landscapes. This original engagement with legal geography will
appeal to those with general interests in this area, as well as
specific concerns with questions of law and place, property and the
environment.
