Trade ReviewThis is the eighth edition of this handbook, and a quick look through the material shows why. The book is timely, with updated information post Hurricane Sandy and well organized for those with a specific interest in the environmental issues in New Jersey. There are many authors, so specialty areas are addressed by specialists. There are also extensive footnotes and citations, making this book very useful for the experienced practitioner as well as for someone new to New Jersey Environmental Law. A very nice feature of the book is the publisher’s decision to put chapter and section headings at the top of each page. And the inclusion of a Summary of Contents and a detailed Contents section is very helpful as is the Index. . . .The book provides a good balance of detail and general information for each topic and the section lengths are appropriate to the topic. . . .This updated edition is an excellent place to access environmental law in New Jersey. Topics covered in the book include: contaminated property, finance and insurance, protected land, air and water quality, the Meadowlands, hazardous waste, sustainability, and much more. * American Reference Books Annual *
