This manual, now revised and updated for its second edition, provides a detailed overview of the complex and distinct body of European environmental law. Written for a multi-disciplinary audience, the book will prove of value to the legal, business and scientific practitioner or researcher, as well as to all those interested in environmental law, science and policy. Each chapter contains an introductory section in which the major elements of the relevant subjects are analyzed. For the teacher and student there are case studies, questions and bibliographies, whilst practitioners and researchers will find useful the many basic texts of European environmental law that are reproduced in the manual, including treaties, Community documents and national legislation. The book thus uniquely combines the materials of a treatise, a case book and a documentary compilation.
