Edited by Bridget Hutter, Reader in Sociology, London School of Economics and Political Science
"Breadth of approach is reflected in the selection of the material... a series of readings which represent the development over 20 years or so of socio-legal analysis of environmental law - this itself being persuasively portrayed by Dr. Hutter in her introductory essay on the issue... this offering from Oxford University Press is a timely and useful bringing together of major socio-legal statements on the law. It deserves its place on academic bokshelves - and certainly on those of postgraduate students keen to broaden their initial doctrinal understanding of the law." - David J. Hughes, Environmental Law Review
