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. 606 $aEnvironmental law, International 606 $aConservation of natural resources$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aEnvironmental law, International. 615 0$aConservation of natural resources$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a341.7/62 700 $aKibel$b Paul Stanton.$0888368 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811249303321 996 $aThe earth on trial$93930688 997 $aUNINA
