Since the first publication of this landmark textbook in 2004,
it has received high praise for its clear, comprehensive, and
practical approach. The second edition continues to offer a unique
framework for teaching and learning interdisciplinary environmental
planning, incorporating the latest thinking, newest research
findings, and numerous, updated case studies into the solid
foundation of the first edition.
The book has been reorganized based on feedback from
instructors, and contains a new chapter entitled "Land Use, Energy,
Air Quality and Climate Change." Throughout, boxes have been added
on such topics as federal laws, state and local environmental
programs, and critical problems and responses.
This new edition addresses three broad subject areas. Part I,
"Environmental Planning and Management," provides an overview of
the field, along with the fundamentals of land use planning, and
presents a collaborative approach to environmental planning. Part
II, "Sustainable Land Use Principles and Planning Analysis,"
considers environmental and geospatial information; soils,
topography, and land use; stream flow, flooding, and runoff;
stormwater management and stream restoration; groundwater
hydrology; landscape ecology; wildlife habitats and biodiversity;
energy, air quality and climate change; and methods for land
analysis. Part III, "Managing Watersheds, Ecosystems and
Development to Achieve Sustainable Communities," explains the
principles of ecosystem management, restoration, and protection;
land conservation; and the mitigation of natural hazards.
With this thoroughly revised second edition, "Environmental Land
Use Planning and Management" maintains its preeminence as the
leading textbook in its field.
