Summary
"[This book covers] how we manage our valuable resources ... [The authors provide an] overview of natural resource management while also explaining the major statutes, cases, and doctrines ... The first part of the book explains the major themes and issues that cross-cut natural resources law as well as the relevant legal doctrines from administrative law, constitutional law, and standing. The second part of the book explores the management of specific natural resources (from fisheries, forests and frogs to national parks, oil and water, and others). A series of problem exercises run throughout the book, describing a legal or policy conflict in detail and asking students to identify and assess solutions. Textual boxes out set out the details of important judicial opinions"--Provided by the publisher.
