Are you planning to protest against the action of a logging company or a road-building scheme in your community, or thinking of bringing a suit against a company dumping chemicals in a water system? Here is the manual you need for these and other 'direct actions' on behalf of the environment. Written and edited by a team of British environmental lawyers who often work on behalf of citizens and pressure groups, this detailed book starts at the beginning and tells you everything you need to know about the legal process: how it can work for you and what actions are most appropriate in given cases. Employing useful case studies, the book also reveals how to bring nuisance claims and claims for damages. (Kirkus UK)
