The rapidly evolving inter-disciplinary field of Strategic
Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a vital means of evaluating the
likely significant environmental consequences of implementing land
use plan proposals. The European SEA directive, which came into
effect in 2004, requires member states to implement SEA
requirements. This book provides an authoritative, international
evaluation of the SEA of land use plans and provides context using
a variety of case studies in which the uniquely qualified
contributors evaluate systems in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Hong
Kong, Hungary, Ireland, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal,
South Africa, Sweden, The UK, and the USA. Each SEA system is
evaluated against a set of generic criteria specially designed to
analyse different aspects of SEA. Numerous figures and tables are
used to summarize the evaluative findings.
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was developed

of standardizing the assessment process. This practical, easy to
read and interactive study guide helps nursing and midwifery
students at all levels to maximise their chances of success with
OSCEs. It features case studies, quick quizzes, recap and recall
summaries and an OSCE preparation plan; all of which help to

her mother Michelle, a successful doctor who thinks she's too good

cabin and one of the girls is found dead on the ice, their weekend
away becomes a race against time - and each other - to get off the
mountain alive. And in the end, whose story can you trust, when
