Environmental Law &amp; Policy: Nature, Law &amp; Society is a coursebook designed to access the law of environmental protection through a taxonomic approach. It explores the range of legal structures and legal methodologies of the field rather than simply designing it according to air, water, toxics, etc. as subject media (which often results in duplicative legal coverage). All the major subject areas of pollution and resource conservation are covered, but they are covered according to the legal approaches they represent. The book is Saxist, because it originally arose and continues to carry on themes from the teaching, guidance, and writings of the late Joseph Sax, the eminent pioneer of the environment law field. Sax emphasized the interaction between common law and public law statutory structures, and introduced the public trust doctrine as a thread undergirding and running through the entire field of environmental law. Features: <ul>
<li>Coverage of the December 2015 Paris COP-21 climate agreement in its several different aspects, incorporating analysis by co-author Prof. David Wirth who played an active role in international preparations for the Paris accord.</li> <li>Expanded material on carbon pricing carbon taxes until recently widely thought to be a politically impossible alternative avenue for mitigation of global climate disruption.</li> <li>Fracking case and discussion materials on fracking, the major new fossil energy extraction technology that is changing the energy profile and landscape of the U.S.</li> <li>Tracking major recent revisions in toxic substance regulation, with essential comparisons to the contemporary European model of market access chemical regulation.</li> <li>Regulation of Greenhouse Gases under the Clean Air Act and otherwise.</li> <li>The Flint, Michigan toxic lead water pollution disaster, with both civil and criminal repercussions.</li> <li>An updated guide through the complexities of tensions between private property rights and environmental protections, and an innovative clarification of recent Supreme Court caselaw.</li> <li>An innovative chapter on official planning a basic and problematic element of environmental governance, whether at the local level or the national public lands level.</li> </ul>

This widely-adopted, all-original book was the first in the field to combine complete analysis of the mediation process with integrated video case studies illustrating the full range of mediation skills. Engaging text is keyed to seven hours of online video, featuring three different cases, all based on actual disputes: a child custody case, a small claims consumer dispute, and a complex negligence suit. These unscripted mediations were conducted by mediators and lawyers with a variety of backgrounds and styles. The video includes an extended comparative example of facilitative and evaluative mediation of the same matter. The integration of text and video in The Practice of Mediation: A Video-Integrated Text, Third Edition enriches students’ understanding and allows classroom and clinical instruction to proceed more rapidly and on a far more sophisticated level. New to the Third Edition: <ul>
<li>New end-of-chapter problems to aid assessment of student learning</li> <li>New or expanded coverage of biases and their impact on negotiators; pre-mediation contacts with parties; and increasing mediator use of caucuses to open the process</li> <li>Newly designed problems on the ethics of mediating</li> <li>New video clips on mediator influence and persuasion</li> </ul>
Professors and students will benefit from: <ul>
<li>Practice- and research-based analysis of negotiations and why they fail</li> <li>Contextualized model of the role and effective skills of the mediator, applicable across the entire range of disputes</li> <li>Exploration of fundamental norms of the process and, through real case problems, the ethics of mediating</li> <li>Video and case-based introduction to the role and skills of representing a client in mediation</li> </ul>

The problem approach featured in Problems and Cases on Secured Transactions thoroughly engages students with imaginative scenarios, presenting the material as easily accessible and as manageable as possible without avoiding the intricacies of secured transactions. Students come to appreciate that the principal resource for the course is UCC Article 9 itself. While the casebook is an essential tool for study, the law is found in the Code. Problems and Cases on Secured Transactions is carefully designed for an introductory mainstream course, not for an advanced course or seminar. The material is presented as completely comprehensible, even enjoyable, rather than an arcane science that only an insider can be expected to understand. Cases are heavily edited, and liberal editorial notes help express the vibrancy of true-life situations. A good mix of short and long problems gives each lesson a comprehensive linear flow while keeping students focused. A progressive mix of problems helps students see the common elements, as rules and principals learned in a simpler setting can readily be applied to more complex transactions. Earlier problems lean more heavily, though not exclusively, on the individual and consumer-borrower situations. As the lessons advance, the mix of materials progressively includes more small-business and large-business transactions.
Key Features of the New Edition:
<ul>
<li>The latest on the 2010 Revisions to Article 9, in particular how the "name of the debtor" problem is now to be dealt with</li>
<li>New legislative initiatives addressing the problem of so-called "bogus" or "harassing" filings</li>
<li> Twelve new principal cases decided since 2010 bring the book up to date and better elucidate points to be made</li>
</ul>
