商品簡介
In this update of the 1995 edition, Braddock, an attorney working on natural resource damage restoration projects/author of Washington Environmental Law Handbook and Wetlands Regulation, traces the source of Congress's power to regulate wetlands to the "Commerce Clause" of the Constitution. In the contexts of increasing population pressures, greater appreciation of the role of wetlands, and recent court cases, she discusses political, aesthetic, methodological, and permitting and enforcement issues involved in characterizing and protecting these resources. The volume includes a table of legal cases; technical guidelines; illustrations; and contributions by Lisa Bernsten, a wetland scientist. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
