The authors trace the crucial history of each major federal environmental statute and provide an accessible overview of each statute’s major provisions. By integrating a statute’s social and political context with its regulatory structure, they demonstrate how to incorporate environmental justice throughout a course and help students understand the life-and-death stakes behind seemingly technical regulatory choices. Each chapter includes practical teaching exercises that integrate history, justice, science, and law into classroom learning. Above all, Bratspies and Gonzalez offer numerous practical examples. Each chapter is full of teaching tips and problems designed to start hard, interesting conversations, allowing students to master technical materials while grappling with social justice implications.

Scholars and students seeking concise summaries of foundational topics in environmental law will also find this book relevant.
