Critics Review
“The greatest strength of this book is its breadth of coverage and the wealth of material that is presented without any loss of depth. It provides a comprehensive summary of the legal issues at play for the disappearing small island community and is in that regard a useful reference point for further research in the field… [T]here is no doubt that Torres Camprubí should be highly praised for this very important contribution to scholarship. [The book] can be confidently recommended to any scholars, negotiators and policy-makers (including human rights specialists) with an interest in preparing the international legal system for the consequences of climate change.”- Emma Allen, University of Keele Law School
