Artskydd - Grunder Och Tillämpning
OBS att titeln har kommit ut i en uppdaterad DIGITAL andra upplaga i JUNO, under 2023.Artskydd – grunder och tillämpning beskriver hur växt- och djurarter i Sverige är skyddade och ger läsaren en överblick av relevanta internationella konventioner, EU-direktiv samt bestämmelser i miljöbalken och artskyddsförordningen m.m. Boken innehåller en grundlig genomgång av praxis med många exempel från EU-domstolen och Mark- och miljööverdomstolen. Viktiga begrepp inom artskyddsjuridiken presenteras och även artbegreppet behandlas. Författarna gör en biologisk och till viss del filosofisk betraktelse över varför arter ska skyddas och en juridisk genomgång av hur det görs. De beskriver artskyddet utifrån en väl underbyggd biologisk och juridisk ansats, vilket är unikt och gör boken till ett utmärkt underlag för utbildning.

Djurens Juridik
Djurens roll i juridiken omfattar både civilrättsliga, straffrättsliga och förvaltningsrättsliga bestämmelser. Djur har juridisk status som egendom samtidigt som lagstiftningen ska ta hänsyn till att djur är levande individer, vilket i praktiken leder till ett ständigt förhandlande mellan människors intressen av att använda djur för olika ändamål och djurs rätt till välfärd.Tanken med denna bok är att den ska fungera som en samlad kunskapskälla på området djur och juridik. Boken behandlar gällande rätt med exempel från rättspraxis och tar upp vilka civilrättsliga regler som gäller vid rättshandlingar med djur, djurskyddslagens regler för olika slags djurhållning och verksamheter med djur samt regler om jakt och brott mot djur.Tanken är också att problematisera gällande rätt genom att belysa de etiska och ekonomiska avvägningar som ligger till grund för lagstiftningens utveckling. Exempel från forskning visar på ett betydande glapp mellan lagstiftningens intentioner och hur djur behandlas i praktiken och i rättstillämpningen.Djurens juridik riktar sig till alla som arbetar med djurskyddsfrågor och övrig djurjuridik samt studenter, intresseorganisationer och djurägare som söker svar på juridiska frågor eller de som bara är allmänt intresserade av hur djurens rättsliga situation ser ut i Sverige idag.
