Chasing the Wind Regulating Air Pollution in the Common Law State

"No other book so thoroughly weaves together themes in common-law nuisance, federal pollution legislation, local pollution control, and even constitutional law. Morag-Levine manages to tell a story about how all of these various strands fit together that is at once persuasive and interesting, not to mention carefully documented and painstakingly argued. I learned a great deal reading this book, and I will think differently about the field of air pollution control as a consequence."--Lisa Heinzerling, Georgetown University"An exceptionally thoughtful study of air pollution regulation, "Chasing the Wind" provides a magisterial account of the tensions embedded within American environmental law and their historical roots. Noga Morag Levine shows us that the present state of environmental regulation is much more a creature of the distant, common law past than has generally been acknowledged. This is both a surprising and important argument."--Cary Coglianese, Harvard UniversityMorag-Levine, Noga is the author of 'Chasing the Wind Regulating Air Pollution in the Common Law State', published 2005 under ISBN 9780691123813 and ISBN 0691123810.
