Environmental Rights in Europe and Beyond

What better can one say of a book than that it opens the door to an intense discussion on the role of environmental law as a means to protect the environment? This book should not only be read, but be studied by young law students but then again also by all those to whom this call for improvement of environmental protection through law is addressed: academics, NGOs, practising environmental lawyers and judges. -- Ludwig Krmer * Common Market Law Review *
