As fracking has become the most significant environmental law and public policy question of the 21st Century, its impact has spread out to touch numerous disciplines and many areas of law.

Fracking: Law and Policy is the single-source reference that addresses all the American law and public policy issues relating to fracking.

Written by, Mark S. Guralnick, this multi-purpose deskbook addresses the current law and public policy issues related to fracking. It also serves as a formbook, practice manual, and reference guide covering all key areas of fracking, including the law, environmental, business, and public policy arenas. Jurisdiction, regulation, litigation, mineral rights and royalties, banking and insurance issues, worker safety and injury claims, insurance coverage, environmental and public health controversies, activism, and more, are all covered.
