Critics Review

Review from previous edition I consider Birnie, Boyle, and Redgwell’s International Law and the Environment to be the leading textbook in the field… The authors’ strike a knowledgeable balance in the treatment of various topics. The reader can rely on the book’s coverage and substance’ * Professor Jutta Brunnée, Metcalf Chair in Environmental Law, University of Toronto *
Birnie, Boyle, and Redgwell’s International Law and the Environment is a very well written, authoritative, and comprehensive text. The authors’ approach the topics in a soundly researched, logically structured, and well-balanced way… For my mind this is the best international environmental law book on the market. * Professor Karen Hulme, Head of Law School, University of Essex *
