Environmental Law and Policy (Concepts and Insights) 5th Edition by James Salzman and Barton H. Thompson Jr. is a clear, concise, and highly readable introduction to the field of environmental law and policy.
The book explains the major environmental statutes, legal frameworks, policy debates, and real-world cases shaping environmental regulation, especially in the United States, and provides broad conceptual insights rather than dry legal text.
It covers the history of environmental protection, pollution control laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, natural resource protection including endangered species and wetlands, waste management and hazardous substances regulation, and environmental impact assessment under laws like the National Environmental Policy Act.
The text is designed for students, practitioners, and anyone seeking an accessible overview of how environmental law works in practice and helps readers evaluate legal responses to pollution, conservation, and sustainable resource use.
