Mastering Products Liability is a clear, concise discussion of the law of products liability. It contains a short history of the development of that area, but focuses on the current controversies, such as:
- The Second Restatement of Torts versus the Third Restatement of Torts: Products Liability
- Strict liability versus a return to negligence-based liability
- Role of judge versus role of jury
- Consumer expectations test versus foreign-natural test for food
- Consumer expectations test versus reasonable alternative design test for other products
- Frye, Daubert, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and epidemiology
- Defendants in bankruptcy protection and the Texas two-step
- Scope of pre-emption
- The constitutionality of statutes of repose on their face and as-applied
- Comparative fault pled by plaintiffs
This work will not only be an invaluable resource for students taking a course in products liability, but will also provide valuable information for students covering the products liability material in the basic torts class.

Surrogacy has made parents out of people who thought it might never be possible.

This book is for the students, professionals and academics focusing on surrogacy, but is also for the intended parents, surrogates, and egg donors themselves to help with detailed information about the legal risks that need to be managed and the contracts involved that need to be structured to minimize that risk. This book combines an over-arching legal perspective with real world practical experience and stories. It is the author’s hope that this book will inspire those contemplating surrogacy to pursue their family formation dream and give guidance to professionals and academics to help those people achieve miraculous results.

Marking the 50th anniversary of the Ramsar Convention, the first modern multilateral environmental agreement, this timely book reflects upon the Convention’s work and its wider impact upon the protection of aquatic resources and wetland-dependent species.
This comprehensive book examines how and to what extent the Ramsar Convention has worked to protect wetlands, while exploring how it has influenced and collaborated with other international and regional regimes. Contributions from an array of expert authors analyse the key approaches and innovations that have been applied to the global protection of wetlands, while also considering the crucial role that wetlands play in climate mitigation and in supporting the needs of humans and animals alike.
Filling a gap in the current scholarship by discussing the impact and implementation of this pioneering convention, Wetlands and International Environmental Law is an inspiring read for academics in international and regional environmental law. This discerning book is also of interest to those working in the fields of political science, international relations, and area studies with a particular environmental focus.

Waters of the United States: POTUS, SCOTUS, WOTUS, and the Politics of a National Resource Book

In 2023, the Supreme Court made one of its most devastating rulings in environmental history. By narrowing the legal definition of ‘waters of the United States’ (WOTUS), the court opened the floodgates to unregulated pollution. But while tremendously consequential, the decision was also simply the latest in a long series of battles over WOTUS, and which rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and perhaps even farm fields were to be protected by the Clean Water Act of 1972.
Waters of the United States is an unprecedented exploration of this history—and its importance for today’s efforts to conserve a critical natural resource. The book not only examines how bodies of water are legally defined (and therefore protected), but who gets to decide on these definitions. The result is a fascinating look at the ongoing power struggle between the president and federal agencies, the courts, the states, and Congress, over water quality.
Waters of the United States offers the detailed analysis necessary for any lawyer or environmental advocate to understand the nuances of water policy, while spinning a compelling narrative for readers who have never cracked a law book. The unique mix of insights into environmental law, history, and politics is required reading for anyone who cares about the future of the nation’s water.
