What better can one say of a book than that it opens the door to an intense discussion on the role of environmental law as a means to protect the environment? This book should not only be read, but be studied by young law students – but then again also by all those to whom this call for improvement of environmental protection through law is addressed: academics, NGOs, practising environmental lawyers and judges.
