<br/><br/> Book description<br/><br/>The environmental devastation caused by military conflict has been witnessed in the wake of the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and the Kosovo conflict. This book brings together leading international lawyers, military officers, scientists and economists to examine the legal, political, economic and scientific implications of wartime damage to the natural environment and public health. The book considers issues raised by the application of humanitarian norms and legal rules designed to protect the environment, and the destructive nature of war. Contributors offer an analysis and critique of the existing law of war framework, lessons from peacetime environmental law, means of scientific assessment and economic valuation of ecological and public health damage, and proposals for future legal and institutional developments. This book provides a contemporary forum for interdisciplinary analysis of armed conflict and the environment, and explores ways to prevent and redress wartime environmental damage.<br/><br/><br/>Select Frontmatter<br/><br/>    Frontmatter<br/>    pp i-iv<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Contents<br/><br/>    Contents<br/>    pp v-viii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select List of illustrations<br/><br/>    List of illustrations<br/>    pp ix-x<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select List of tables<br/><br/>    List of tables<br/>    pp xi-xii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select List of contributors<br/><br/>    List of contributors<br/>    pp xiii-xvi<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Acknowledgements<br/><br/>    Acknowledgements<br/>    pp xvii-xviii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Foreword by Klaus Toepfer<br/><br/>    Foreword by Klaus Toepfer<br/>    pp xix-xx<br/>        By Klaus Toepfer<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Introduction<br/><br/>    Introduction<br/>    pp 1-10<br/>        By Jay E.
