Coggins, Wilkinson, Leshy and Fischman's Federal Public Land and Resources Law, 6th

This casebook is an authoritative introduction to the study of public land and resources law. Case studies, case notes, and examples illustrate legal points under consideration with special attention focused on historical and social context. Thought-provoking questions generate classroom discussion and hone students' legal reasoning. This new edition overhauls the first five chapters of cross-cutting issues to facilitate easier selection of topics to cover before exploring resource-specific subjects. It consolidates and streamlines chapters to make them easier for students to concentrate on the main points of contention. It also thoroughly updates all chapters through February 2007.
