This innovative book explores the world of 3D printing from the perspective of intellectual property law, tackling theory and practice. As 3D printing digitises tangibles and equips individual users with access to design and manufacturing tools, it also raises several pressing legal and policy issues. Does the IP framework - largely designed in the analogue age - adequately regulate the operation of the technology? How should the law respond to piracy in a digital environment where copying is the norm, not the exception? What are the sharing practices, norms and views on IP within the community? Is the law actually a concern?To fully address these questions, the book begins with a contextual overview of 3D printing's history and broader socio-economic impact. It explains why the 'desktop' side of the technology is likely to be especially problematic when it comes to IP law and highlights key areas of concern. Drawing on its rich empirical data featuring world-leading experts, engineers, lawyers and users, it offers illuminating insights into the experiences and views of stakeholders before finally considering potential regulatory responses.Original and forward-looking, this book is essential reading for academics, practitioners, 3D printing users and any reader interested in the rapidly evolving field of law and technology.

Environmental justice is an important idea in the larger context of environmental protection. It has gained importance globally: the UN, governments, and nongovernmental organizations now regularly address it.

Relying on the latest scholarship and highlighting relevant events, this book provides readers with the foundational knowledge of environmental justice: what it is and its causes, as well as governmental and international responses to it.
