The Earth on Trial: Environmental Law on the International Stage

Coperta unu
Psychology Press, 1999 - 192 pagini
E×amining the degree to which the law has accomodated an increasing understanding of the natural environment, this te×t provides an assessment of the conceptual and practical changes needed to reconcile law to the limits of ecology. Paul Kibel discusses many international environmental issues including Canadian logging and international law; the legacy of environmental law after the collapse of the USSR; the poison gas leak in Bhopa, India; and the refoliation of Vietnam's forests since the war and marine turtle protection. The book acknowledges that a healthy environmental future depends not so much on our ability to alter nature to accommodate society, as our ability to alter society to accomodate nature. The book is based on Paul Kibel's articles that that have previously appeared in the environmental and legal press.
