Paul Stanton Kibel provides a clear assessment of what conceptual and practical changes are needed to reconcile law to the limits of ecology. By moving the debate between law and the environment beyond specialists, and towards a public forum, The Earth on Trial acknowledges that a healthy environmental future depends not so much on our ability to alter nature to accommodate society, as our ability to alter society to accommodate nature.Environmental law, InternationalConservation of natural resourcesLaw and legislationEnvironmental law, International.Conservation of natural resourcesLaw and legislation.341.7/62Kibel Paul Stanton888368MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811249303321The earth on trial3930688UNINA
