Review

Methods of Environmental Impact Assessment is a practical up-to-date explanation and guide to how EIAs are, and should be, carried out for specific environmental components (e.g., air, water, ecological systems, socio-economic systems). For each component, it includes a discussion of relevant standards, how baseline surveys are conducted, how impact predictions are made, what mitigation measures can be used, how the effectiveness of such measures should be monitored, and the limitations of the methods.

Very few books exist on how EIA should be carried out for specific environmental components and this book will fill an important gap. Written by practising specialists who teach a highly regarded course in environmental assessment and management at Oxford Brookes University and by experts from the private and non-profit sectors, Methods of Environmental Impact Assessment will prove invaluable for those who organize, review, and make decisions about EIA: environmental planners and managers; undergraduate as well as graduate students in planning, ecology, geography, environmental studies, and related subjects with an EIA content.
