‘This thoughtful and deeply analytical text examines in detail what the author, Robert Cunningham, describes as ‘the nexus between the physical environment and the information environment’ and explores the ways in which ‘environmental analytical frameworks’ might also apply to the information environment. . . IP theorists in particular, as well as environmental lawyers and academics will appreciate the insights revealed and the often new and original avenues of thought which Cunningham opens up to scrutiny as a result of his careful research. Certainly this book deserves a place in the well read practitioner’s professional library.’
