More than any other environmental law survey casebook, this book conveys the substantive material in real-world practice contexts, with significant chapters on permitting and rulemaking, enforcement, compliance counseling, business transactions, and private litigation. Changes made for the second edition provide a more streamlined and coordinated presentation of the major environmental laws and programs.

Book by Rasband, James, Salzman, James, Squillace, Mark

The authors provide a broad conceptual overview of environmental law while also explaining the major statutes and cases. The first part of the book discusses the major themes and issues that cross-cut environmental law. The second part of the book examines the substance of environmental law, with separate sections on each of the major statutes. International issues such as ozone depletion, climate change, and transboundary waste disposal are also addressed. These chapters build on the conceptual framework in the first part of the text to integrate the discussion of individual statutes into a broad portrait of the law.
