The late Alan Gilpin, formerly Honorary Visiting Fellow, University of New South Wales, Australia
'There is no shortage of recent dictionaries covering environmental
law on reference shelves. What distinguishes this titles is its
inclusive coverage of the international scene. For example, where
all environmental law dictionaries have an entry for acid rain,
Gilpin's Dictionary informs the reader about acid rain problems in
Sweden, Norway, Germany and The Netherlands in addition to the
United States and Canada. This Dictionary is useful, with balanced
coverage of environmental issues throughout the world. . . due to
its global inclusiveness and clear, nontechnical language, this
dictionary should prove very useful on shelves of all types of
libraries and for environmental, political, and legal
practitioners.'
*Georgia Briscoe, American Reference Books Annual 2002*
'Gilpin addresses the elements of environmental law with an
indispensable survey of the subject. . . . The strength of this
dictionary lies in its international coverage. . . . Language is
nontechnical and easily accessible to general readers. . . . Gilpin
is recommended for those libraries and individuals interested in
international environmental law.'
*S.R. Moore, Choice*
'I thought Gilpin's work was excellent. The coverage was thorough
and extremely helpful without getting overly bogged down in
unnecessary details. I also felt that there was a very useful
balance between national coverage (as of European Union and United
States statutes, concepts and cases) and international agreements.
I am certain that scholars, political decision makers, legal
practitioners, environmental activists and reference libraries will
want to have Gilpin handy. It may well become an indispensable
reference work in environmental law and policy.'
