Who will stop the planet from committing ecological suicide? The UN? Governments? Activists? Corporations? Engineers? Scientists? Whoever  environmental laws need to be enforceable and enforced. Step forward a fresh breed of passionately purposeful environmental lawyers. They provide new rules to legislatures  see that they are enforced  and keep us informed. At the head of this new legal army stands James Thornton  who takes governments to court  and wins. And his client is the Earth. With Client Earth  we travel from Alaska to China  from Poland to Ghana  to see how citizens can use public-interest law to protect their planet. 1970s America saw lawyers first band together to battle for the environment. This book tracks that phenomenon from its origins and out across the globe. Lawyers who take the Earth as their client are exceptional and inspirational. They give us back our hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67922583846965,"sku":"ByrdShop_1947534033","price":65.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781947534032.jpg?v=1794081862","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/client-earth-9781947534032","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
