Reviews of the first edition
"This book is surely destined to become a 'must read' for anyone (academic, practitioner or student) interested in the development of regulation, enforcement, and environmental governance."
– P Bishop, IUCN Academy of Environmental Law Journal
"An excellent reference work on environmental law [...] an extremely important and valuable edition to the environmental lawyer's bookshelf."
– C Abbot, Journal of Environmental Law
"It is a rare to find a volume which consumes one's attention for 765 pages – and rarer still that such a blockbuster be a law book [...] This book is not solely for environmental enthusiasts – it should be essential reading for anyone concerned with the institutional reform, transparency and accountability in the UK and EU."
– C MacKenzie, Cambridge Law Journal
