The book is unique in its blend of humor, sharp commentary, and scholastic research, all products of critical thinking on issues of environmental law and policy. The Environmentalist is aimed primarily at undergraduate students of biology, chemistry and ecology courses to supplement their environmental science with an introduction to the problems of environmental law and policy. It could also be used as a supplemental text for advanced high school students of environmental science. This book offers students an introduction to environmental problems as seen from the perspective of the courts, the legislative bodies, and the philosophers who actually apply environmental science to the environment. The Environmentalist deals with issues such as human population growth, sustainability and the need for information on which humans must base sustainable decisions. While there are many books on environmental law and policy, few consciously emphasize critical thinking as this book does. The conclusion of The Environmentalist is that our policies and we are one with the planet-they cannot be separated.
