Bibliography

Do we owe our duties to future generations? Do animals have rights? Should nature be respected for its own sake or only as a resource for human use? These questions and others are explored in the book, which exploes environmental law in the context of ethical ideas.

Written in an accessible style and including many case studies, this volume is a concise text not only for students of law and related courses but also for all who are interested in environmental matters.
