At a time of profound change and rethinking, this book is intended to provide insights into how the current position has been reached and into those future challenges faced by environmental law in the United Kingdom. Not a legal history or textbook as such, instead it offers a personal account of the inside stories as experienced by one of the key architects of modern environmental law. Taking a thematic approach it charts those fundamental tenets of the subject (influencing public policy, developing the academic discipline of environmental law, environmental courts and tribunals, etc) from their inception to the present day.
