Written by two internationally respected scholars, this unique
primer distills European Union environmental law and policy into a
practical guide for a nonlegal audience, as well as for lawyers
trained in other jurisdictions. The first part explains the basics
of the European legal system, including key actors, types of laws,
and regulatory instruments. The second part describes the EU's
overarching legal strategies for environmental management and
delves into how the EU addresses the specific environmental issues
of pollution, ecosystem management, and climate change. Chapters
include summaries of key concepts and discussion questions, as well
as informative "spotlights" offering brief overviews of topics.
With a highly accessible structure and useful illustrative
features, A Guide to EU Environmental Law provides a long-overdue
synthetic resource on EU environmental law for students and for
anyone working in environmental policy or environmental science.
This text can also be read with the authors' A Guide to US
Environmental Law for a comparative look at how two important
jurisdictions in the world deal with key environmental problems.
Offers psychological insights into how people perceive, respond to,
value, and make decisions about the environment Environmental law
may seem a strange space to seek insights from psychology.
Psychology, after all, seeks to illuminate the interior of the
human mind, while environmental law is fundamentally concerned with
the exterior surroundings—the environment—in which people live.
Yet psychology is a crucial, undervalued factor in how laws shape
people’s interactions with the environment. Psychology can offer
environmental law a rich, empirically informed account of why,
when, and how people act in ways that affect the
environment—which can then be used to more effectively pursue
specific policy goals. When environmental law fails to incorporate
insights from psychology, it risks misunderstanding and
mispredicting human behaviors that may injure or otherwise affect
the environment, and misprescribing legal tools to shape or
mitigate those behaviors. The Psychology of Environmental Law
provides key insights regarding how psychology can inform, explain,
and improve how environmental law operates. It offers concrete
analyses of the theoretical and practical payoffs in pollution
control, ecosystem management, and climate change law and policy
when psychological insights are taken into account.
This volume investigates the interdisciplinary and cross-cutting
challenges in the risk analysis of natural hazards. It brings
together leading minds in engineering, science, philosophy, law,
and the social sciences. Parts I and II of this volume explore risk
assessment, first by providing an overview of the interdisciplinary
interactions involved in the assessment of natural hazards, and
then by exploring the particular impacts of climate change on
natural hazard assessment. Part III discusses the theoretical
frameworks for the evaluation of natural hazards. Finally, Parts IV
and V address the risk management of natural hazards, providing
first an overview of the interdisciplinary interactions underlying
natural hazard management, and then exploring decision frameworks
that can help decision makers integrate and respond to the complex
relationships among natural events, the built environment, and
human behavior.

Written by two internationally respected authors, this unique
primer distills the environmental law and policy of the United
States into a practical guide for a nonlegal audience, as well as
for lawyers trained in other regions. The first part of the book
explains the basics of the American legal system: key actors, types
of laws, and overarching legal strategies for environmental
management. The second part delves into specific environmental
issues (pollution, ecosystem management, and climate change) and
how American law addresses each. Chapters include summaries of key
concepts, discussion questions, and a glossary of terms, as well as
informative "spotlights"-brief overviews of topics. With a highly
accessible structure and useful illustrative features, A Guide to
U.S. Environmental Law is a long-overdue synthetic reference on
environmental law for students and for those who work in
environmental policy or environmental science. Pairing this book
with its companion, A Guide to EU Environmental Law, allows for a
comparative look at how two of the most important jurisdictions in
the world deal with key environmental problems.
