University of Utah Professor Brigham Daniels and King Hall Professor Karrigan Börk will discuss Lessons for a Warming Planet: A Vital History of US Environmental Law, a book Daniels co-authored with Alejandro E. Camacho.
Lessons for a Warming Planet showcases the fundamental role the law has served in reckoning with environmental harm in the United States. It explores the full arc of U.S. environmental legal history across five major periods in the United States, reaching as far back as North America’s colonization and ending with the present. Through this rich history, the book considers the ways leadership, social movements, political coalitions, information, and technologies have both been catalyzed by the law and have advanced environmental change.
Brigham Daniels is Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources, and the Environment at the University of Utah, S.J. Quinney College of Law. An expert in environmental and property law, his current scholarship focuses on policy responses to help save Great Salt Lake and on the history of environmental law.
Karrigan Börk is Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis. He researches legal and ethical issues in ecological restoration along with local governance issues in ecosystem management.
