As humanity's visible impact on the environment has grown, individuals and nations are increasingly aware that many environmental problems are not constrained by national boundaries, and that solutions will require international agreements. Schwabach (law, Thomas Jefferson School of Law) provides a reference for those wanting to explore attempts, historical and current, to create a workable global regime of environmental protection. This text is designed to serve as a starting-point for future research in this constantly changing field. It outlines the historical framework of international environmental law, explains some of the predominant problems faced, and explains important treaties, cases and reports. Includes an extensive list of further resources. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
