Taking a problem-oriented approach, Environmental Impact Assessment provides an in-depth, practical, and comprehensive guide for designing and implementing effective Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes. Easily adaptable for application in other jurisdictions, this thoroughly updated second edition addresses a much broader range of practice-related problems, issues, and challenges in EIA. The text also includes a new set of practice-based stories to provide a real-world context for the conceptual and applied analyses. End-of-chapter checklists provide a handy tool for structuring the design and evaluation of EIA processes and documents.
