Description:
This contemporary casebook speaks directly to the current generation of students. Web-based resources, rich visual aids, newspaper stories, and articles from legal periodicals are interspersed with traditional legal analysis of cases, statutes, and regulations. Specific topics include all the commodity resources—rangeland, timber, water, minerals, energy resources, and rural and urban land. It devotes considerable attention to wildlife and biodiversity as well as preservation and recreation lands. In addition, it hones in on every level of natural resources ownership--federal, tribal, state, and private--and includes an extensive discussion of the economic aspects of natural resources law and policy.
