Wildland Fires and the Law Legal Aspects of Forest Fires Worldwide

As concern about the global environment has intensified, evolving international environmental policy & law have become the focus of increased attention by scholars, legal practitioners & governmental as well as non-governmental decision-makers. Although several specialized journals & 'news' services have emerged in response to this phenomenon, there is yet no publication that systematically analyzes developments in this rapidly expanding new discipline of 'international environmental law'. The Yearbook of International Environmental Law , beginning with volume 1 (1990), closes this gap by providing an authoritative as well as comprehensive review of internationally significant legal developments, in a format that makes information easily accessible. In a unique 'Year-in-Review' section, short reports written by recognized international experts summarize year-by-year trends in discreet subject areas that represent the whole spectrum of international environmental legal issues. Additionally, internationally significant legal developments in key countries or regions & international governmental as well as non-governmental organizations are being reviewed. A very substantial documents section & an international legal bibliography, organized by subject matter, enhance the value of the Yearbook as a primary source for research & general reference. The Yearbook also includes a number of theoretical articles that provide critical assessment of institutional & substantive international legal responses to global change & the need for more effective international management of environmental resources. In short, this package of features puts the new Yearbook at the cutting edge of monitoring & evaluating developments in international environmental law.Bourrinet, Jacques is the author of 'Wildland Fires and the Law Legal Aspects of Forest Fires Worldwide' with ISBN 9780792319740 and ISBN 0792319745.
