Do you ever feel that your textbook is designed for you and not your students? Is it important to build a foundation in your course?

Environmental Law, 6e makes sure to not start the joke with the punch-line. This text provides two key types of necessary background for understanding environmental law.

•    Initial Chapters explain how our legal system functions in general.

•    Latter Chapters provide the basic scientific knowledge necessary for understanding environmental law. Thus, the reader may gain a fundamental understanding of not only what the laws are but also why they are needed.

Courses are not designed to educate the professor, they are for the students, and textbooks need to read as such. A text like this needs to assume that the reader knows nothing; Environmental Law, 6e does the best job of taking an uneducated student and through concepts and examples building a formidable knowledge of the field.

Would you like to have input into the text? Are some textbooks outdated and unaware of current and future trends?
    
The professor always has the option of molding the text around his course, how well it fits is another story.

•    Flexibility - Part of the thinking behind the new edition of Environmental Law was how much flexibility does the text provide for the professor. Whether you stick to the book or like to stray away, this text provides the ideal situation.

•    Kubasek comprises a good portion of his text from contributions, comments, criticisms or corrections from professors like yourself.. If you have a tip or idea that contributes to the text Kubasek encourages you to contact him and help make the next edition even more complete. Dozens of professors have helped contribute over the years to make this book what it is today in its 6th edition.

How do you feel about the inclusion of current political issues in a textbook?  Do you typically educate students on what is happening in Washington and how it relates to environmental law?

This is the second revision of the book made during the tenure of President George W. Bush, and if you are close to the pulse you realize there is a lot of Environmental Law to discuss. The second president is widely regarded as a much greater foe to the environment than most had predicted. His administration was given an “F” on the League of Conservation Voter’s 2003 Report Card for performance. What does this mean for Environmental Law and the present and future of our world? The 6th edition does a wonderful job of investigating the possibilities and discussing future options and policies.
