Summary: Rivers, landscapes, whole territories: these are the latest entities to be touched by the relentless expansion of rights in our world. But what does it mean for a landscape to have rights? Why would anyone want to recognize such rights, and to what end? Is it a good idea, and does it come with risks? This book presents the logic behind giving nature rights and discusses the most important cases in which this has happened. Mihnea Tanasescu offers clear answers to the thorny questions that the intrusion of nature into law is sure to raise.
