Book Review

The Making of Environmental Law. By Richard J. Lazarus. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2004. xvi+318 pp. Notes, index. $35.00.

In this book, Richard Lazarus provides a lively, elegant, and comprehensive account of how environmental law came to be, what makes it distinctive among legal institutions, why it has persisted, and its future prospects. As Lazarus reminds us, it was not at all clear in the years immediately following the first Earth Day in 1970 that environmental law would be anything more than a "fad." His narrative details the explosive and, in retrospect still quite stunning, growth of this law in the 1970s and 1980s, culminating in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and documents its impressive—so far at least—staying power.
