<i>‘If the victory of capital goes hand-in-hand with the ruination of the planet, then this volume is a chronicle of the “wins” of the former and the “losses” of the latter. But the </i>Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Crime<i> is also an innovative playbook, and with Rob White’s balanced team of seasoned and emerging scholars, there are reasons for optimism.’</i>

- Avi Brisman, Eastern Kentucky University, USA,
