Preface and Acknowledgements
This book is a revised version (2nd edition) of my monograph of the same title published in 2013 by Springer. This book presents the most recent development and future research trends of the contaminated land regime of China, based on a comparative study to the relevant regimes in the USA and UK. I believe that those who want to learn more about China’s environmental legislation and contaminated land management will get reliable information from this book. Students studying environmental law and policy will also find this book useful. The earlier edition of this book has been used as a text of comparative contaminated land law in a couple of law schools. I hope students will continually benefit from this updated edition. Overall, this book is a work about the past, present, and future of contaminated land legislation in China. It will be of interest to environmental policy makers, administrators, academics, lawyers, and engineers engaging in soil environment protection
