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.
