Beyond the Fracking Wars: A Guide for Lawyers, Public Officials, Planners, and Citizens

Beyond the Fracking Wars provides a reference for lawyers, public officials, planners, and citizens on common issues associated with unconventional oil and gas exploration and development. It avoids a “pro” or “anti” position and covers the technologies and regulatory framework governing oil and gas development via hydraulic fracturing; case studies exploring the hurdles, pitfalls, and opportunities for creative solutions; and innovative approaches to managing the impacts of the “shale gale,” on both the regional and international levels.
