<p>The book is like most conferences in having a considerable range of material...the papers are all well referenced, edited and presented, allowing the reader the ability to follow up on any particular issues which could not be covered in detail in any particular paper. The concise notes about each author are also useful – informative without tipping into advertising. The book is a professional production, including a fulsome index which will be of considerable use to those wanting to pursue particular issues.<br /><br />...a useful book, with its various papers bound to guide future research and analysis for some time to come.</p>

This book brings together legal scholars and criminologists to provide a unique, inter-disciplinary exploration of the ways in which climate change does, or could, impact on our societies.
The edited collection is the result of an international seminar held at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law, Oñati, Spain in 2010.
The aim of the book is to identify emerging areas of concern, further illuminate areas for further research and, most of all, encourage future academic discussion on the most critical of issues.
Original research and theory on the relations between law, legal institutions and social processes.
The volumes in this series are eclectic in their disciplines, methodologies and theoretical perspectives, but they all share a strong comparative emphasis. The volumes originate in workshops hosted by the Onati International Institute for the Sociology of Law.
