Reviews

"An illuminating narrative if you are interested in how one of the world's most complex and important pieces of legislation came into being. As a look at 'science-diplomacy' in action, with the desire to inform others involved in complex multilateral discussions a stated key aim of this book, it is also fascinating and informative." * The Marine Biologist *
