Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-30 00:00:00 Jenna Haze This book is interesting in places however there are many pages that I did not find interesting like pages and pages of address for associations in America. The book is definatly focused on America and the laws there. I did manage to get some useful information from it though. Because it is an older book (1990's) there are many things that are out of date and will need further research to see the current situation. However, as a starting point it is quite a useful read.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-20 00:00:00 Emily Cullings McEvoy's thorough, well-researched, and not at all interesting examination of fishery issues in California that led to the passage of the 1976 FCMA constitutes a good case application of Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons" problem. In short, the book presents a compelling but not especially sophisticated argument for increased sensitivity to environmental problems: brute self-interest will lead only to devastation. I'm really amazed at how readable this book was, given its subject matter (McEvoy himself says that he is following Robert Wiebe's injunction to write in simple prose so that laypeople can avail themselves of scholarly research).
