By using specific examples from locations across the country, authors Klein, Cheever, and Birdsong evoke the intensity of debate that arises out of disputes over natural resources. Creating context through a place-based approach, the authors illuminate policy and breathe life into statutory interpretation. Students from every part of the country will find something to relate to their own experience in the panoply of issues located in this casebook.
