Property Law and Real Estate Books

Conservative Enviromentalism is not a hack job which merely dispels the whole enviromental movement out of hand. This book is written by conservationists, who believe fervently that there are better solutions to our ecological problems than passing federal regulation.

Conservative Enviromentalism properly offers solutions at the local level and believes that much of the problems found today should be cured in our neighborhoods and municipalities.

The real kicker about this book though, is their concept of the "Ledger," which use the basic double-entry accounting method to help quantify the costs and gains of environmental regulation.

This book is a truly remarkable work, which will have lasting impact in the ecological debate.

I was dreading this book. It was required for a class in CRM law, but I have now decided that it is an essential reference that will always be found on a handy shelf in my office.

King is recognized as a leader in the field of federal cultural resource management and has written a comprehensive, digestible overview of the history of the subject and the laws that govern archaeology on federally-funded projects. The chapters are informative, yet to the point, opinionated, and, dare I say, actually funny! King gives bibliographic references to most case studies, in case you'd like to chase down the details behind a certain cultural resource management decision, but it is also the perfect, readable beginner's guide to the history and development of CRM law.

The one critique I have is that it may be time to do an update of the book to reflect the ways that CRM law has changed since 1998. However, the fundamental concepts and laws are still the same, and the book remains the best on the subject. Today, I'm buying his newest book "Thinking About Cultural Resource Management: Essays from the Edge" (2002) to see what else King has to say. I will definitely seek out other books by the author.

This book is wonderful! It is very informative and interesting. Buy it! In bulk! Certainly worth my reading time.

Written by an expert in the field of British pollution control, this little book starts by explaining the structure and legal processes of the European Community and goes on to explain what is the Doctrine of Direct Effect and its impact on British regulation of discharges of dangerous substances. After a discussion of the direct effect of European Community Law on the control of hazardous substances, it concludes with case studies of British industries and recommendations which serve as an excellant guide for those interested in environmental law.

Wit'suwit'en and Gitksan Governance existed prior to contact. And so their societal and spiritual structure intertwined with the land through the Potlatch. The Potlatch, once outlawed by Canadian Statutes under the Indian Act at the turn of the 19th Century, Delgamuukw/Gis'DaWay (SCC 1997) accepts the traditional governance of Aboriginal Peoples of Canada as "we are all here to stay". The details of the actual Potlatch and protocols are a combination of spiritual beliefs that connect to the land, language and law (potlatch).The Aboriginal concept, "collective society", is outside the traditional realms of eurocentric thought of the individualism and property ownership. Appreciating the differences with this read may dispel one sided opinions of Aboriginal Society, not yet fully understood. I should know, I am from the Tsa'yu Clan of the Wit'suwit'en. My name is Sha-ohn, sister to Chief Wil'aat and Brothin-in-law to Wah'tah'gyet. Both are contributors to the book, as Indigenous Knowledge teachers. They also were a part of Wit'suwit'en and Gitksan Elders and Chiefs who gave evidence at the trial VS: British Colombia and again at the appeal courts, the Delgamuukw Decision. Enjoy your reading and re-reading as researched and presented by Antonia Mills.

I found that this author was very thorough and that the book addressed the many tax law changes that directly affect estate planning.

This is an excellent book for anyone coming to the European Community's Anti-Dumping Regulation for the first time. It is also a valuable handbook for lawyers and exporters in non-EU countries who find themselves confronted with an anti-dumping questionnaire from the European Commission and have no previous experience of dumping investigations. The book is immensely readable, easy to understand, and sets out all the basic principles. Its absence of legal jargon is to be commended!

The first edition of this work, published in 1977, was considered a landmark in legal scholarship. Subsequent editions have lived up to that standard. The present edition (3rd) is expanded to cover related laws in the United States that impact wildlife. The organization of this book follows an historical view up until the 1970s. From that point the book follows the development of wildlife law in response to the changing cultural values of "the environmental era."

There is little concerning wildife law in the United States that is not covered in this volume. The exception is the myriad of state laws, a task that would have consumed ten times the amount of space. All in all, this is a standard reference in the highest sense of the word. I have used this as a text in not only wildlife management classes, but also environmental ethics and environmental policy. The book is that useful. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in wildlife and wildlife law.
