Innovations and trends 15. Excerpts from epa terms of environment: glossary,abbreviations, and acronyms 16. Cases
Environmental law does not presuppose a background in science, and the references inthis book to chemistry, biology and hydrogeology are kept simple and, we hope,understandable — a task rendered easier by the authors’ own lack of scientific expertise.As the reader will see, environmental law was not born fully-grown, like Botticelli’sVenus, with the advent of the modern regulatory statutes. It stems from tort law, propertylaw and related concepts that trace their roots to the common law. This book attempts torelate those common-law principles to today’s regulatory framework, from which modernenvironmental law directly descends.Readers should know that Philip Weinberg wrote chapters one through four and ninethrough thirteen, as well as minor portions of chapters five, six, and eight.
