Amanda Kennedy, in her book Environmental Justice and Land use Conflict...., by using an environment justice lens, has drawn our attention towards various social imbalances, involving negative impacts of environmental degradations, that have crept in around major mineral and gas extraction projects and impacted the surrounding communities. She has given minute details of the issues involved in various case studies from Australia and US, involving major coal, coal gas and shale projects, where land use conflicts and environmental degradation concerns have emerged.
