 Rating:  - Severely lackingI am currently using this book for an environmental law class dedicated solely to the most important environmental legislation.

If you're only looking for a quick study of the structure of environmental law in the U.S., which is about one-third of this book, it's readable and informative. It also uses language and structure that's accessible for advanced high school and lower division college students in giving and overview of the U.S. legal and regulatory system for the environment.
