Du voyage de Christophe Colomb en 1492 au tournant de la Première Guerre mondiale, le premier volume de cette magistrale histoire des États-Unis retrace l'essor d'une société multiculturelle sans cesse en mutation. Du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle, les Anglais fondent des colonies le long du littoral de Terre-Neuve à la Géorgie : Ils font venir des esclaves africains et repoussent les Amérindiens au-delà des Appalaches. En 1776, l'Amérique s'embrase. Les révolutionnaires défient la Grande-Bretagne et déclarent l'indépendance de treize colonies qui s'unissent. Une république fédérale est née. Bertrand Van Ruymbeke revient dans ce premier volet sur la naissance d'un État marqué par un développement territorial, démographique et économique phénoménal et une construction politique reposant sur un équilibre complexe.

This incisive volume of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law offers a broad analysis of the foundations, main concepts, and substantive and procedural requirements of selected chemical law regimes as they pertain to the environment. Featuring contributions from more than 40 expert scholars and practitioners in the field, the volume focuses on chemical regulatory systems from representative jurisdictions, including the EU and the US, to provide a coherent overview of this expansive and often fragmented area of law.Divided into five thematic parts, the volume first examines the fundamental concepts of chemical law, addressing topics including risk assessment, nomenclature, environmental justice and animal testing. Entries then discuss types of chemicals and exposures, regulation of chemicals in products and manufacturing, and waste and contamination, as well as covering liability rules as they apply to chemicals.This volume will be an essential resource for scholars and students looking for a clear understanding of chemicals regulation and governance from environmental and public health perspectives at both national and international levels. Its insights into policy developments and liability issues will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners.
