I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Environmental Justice

Movement activists, advocates, and scholars who have inspired my keen

interest and work in this area.

I am deeply indebted to the various authors and publishers who granted

me permission to reproduce excerpts of their works in this textbook.

Special recognition must be given to the students in my Environmental

Justice advanced seminars at Vermont Law School over the last 15 sum-

mers who provided me with their invaluable responses, cogent thoughts

and ideas, and insights as many of these materials were being collected,

analyzed, and discussed in the classroom.

I wish to express my deepest appreciation and sincere admiration

for the talented research assistance of the following Vermont Law

School students: Megan Duffy, Tiffany Prather, and Mark Washko.

I wish also to thank Jennie DeVeauxand Nicholas Targ for their gener-

osity and hard work in reviewing chapters of this textbook when they

were in early draft form.

I also want to thank Peter Whitten for his skills as an editor.

My sincere appreciation is extended to Margo M. Landers and Claudia

A. Campbell whose expert typing skills and patience contributed immea-

surably to the successful completion of this textbook.
