商品簡介
This interesting and timely work on the effects of Supreme Court rulings in practical politics looks at rulings relating to environmental policy and explores the ways in which the court struggles with providing clear guidance on issues that are controversial among the other branches of government and the general public. The work covers foundational sources of American environmental law, initial court responses to modern environmental statutes, rulings affected by the energy crisis, the Rehnquist court and anti-environmentalism, and the divided court and modern challenges on global warming, greenhouse gases, and environmental disasters. The work provides clear analysis and detailed reference to rulings and other provided documents. Wolf is a professor of law at the University of Florida.
