Law for the Land by Erin Ryan

The public trust doctrine establishes that certain natural resources should be preserved for public use and enjoyment and is the core of natural resources protection in the United States. The story of Mono Lake shows the public trust doctrine in action, and Erin Ryan goes into great detail about the political and legal action taken to save Mono Lake. This is a book for anyone who is curious about the evolution of water law in different regions and is not just for those with a legal background.
