Captures the diversity that is a hallmark of contemporary environmental law, including the staples--materials on air and water pollution control, toxic torts and other common law approaches, conflicts between private and public rights, administrative procedures--and also addresses the hot areas--risk assessment, regulation of toxics, hazardous materials, and the role citizens play in environmental decision making.

Expands attention to market-enlisting approaches for achieving environmental quality, beyond command-and-control.
