Recenzje

"this book offers a great deal of information and insight regarding the way the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) works, or fails to work, or does not work as well as it should...presents a variety of viewpoints from people who bring different kinds of experience to their analysis, including six academicians and eight federal government agency workers...useful as a text or to supplement upper-division or graduate level courses in environmental policy...Those who teach NEPA or deal with it in their writings should be sure to become familiar with the volume."-Dean B. Suagee, First Nations Environmental Law Program, Vermont Law School
