In the last post, Rakhyum Kim, member of the steering committee of the Group of YPs offered two books which he considered as "must-reads" for environmental lawyers:
Wild Law by Cormac Cullinan and The Principle of Sustainability by Klaus Bosselmann.
Following with this initiative we request all of you to share information on those books that have inspired you or that have been extremely useful during your career as an environmental lawyer.

Even if it is not a book but an article, "The tragedy of the commons" by Garret Hardin has been very influential to a quite diverse set of thinkers. I consider it a "must-read" for its implications regarding the access to biodiversity and natural resources and its regulations.
Two suggestions:
Robbins, Paul (2004). "Political Ecology. A Critical Introduction". Malden: Blackwell.
Peet, Richard, ed. (2004) "Liberation Ecologies: Environment, Development, Social Movements". New York: Routledge.
Suggestions from Manuel Ruiz:
Raquel Carson´s "Silent Spring" is very inspiring ...
"Deep Ecology" by McKibben is also EXCELLENT.
"Genes for Sale" by Joseph Vogel is also very provocative and a wholly innovative way of looking at conservation.
Suggestion from Jamie Morris:
Chistopher Stone's "Should Trees Have Standing?" is inspirational in terms of how to challenge the status quo of law to achieve better environmental protection.
