  Examples & Explanations for Environmental Law, Ninth Edition provides a clear explanation of the scientific foundation of each of the environmental media, areas, and the law affecting them.  The book will deepen students’ understanding through clear explanations, corresponding hypothetical fact patterns, and analysis that clearly connects the different aspects of environmental law. Students can use the text to identify current relevant paper or article topics, study for final exams by reviewing the hypotheticals, and quickly go up the environmental learning curve absorbing the structure and reasoning behind the accompanying analysis. Designed to complement any Environmental Law casebook, this unique, time-tested guide will help students learn the material from the first day of class through 15 chapters covering environmental, energy, climate change, and land-use law until their final paper or exam.
