About this title

Synopsis

Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment: A Guide to Principles and Practice, second edition, is designed to be a primary upper-level text for teaching environmental impact assessment. It is unique in its approach, teaching students to do EIA by leading them through the process step-by-step. Written from an interdisciplinary perspective and taking into account both physical and human environments, this text is essential not only for academic courses in geography, environmental science, planning, and civil engineering, but also for professional training and as a reference for practitioners and administrators. This text focuses on the fundamentals of the generic EIA process, with the aim of highlighting key principles and characteristics of each component of the EIA process and on drawing lessons from the case studies that examine best practices. This edition benefits from two new chapters: one on public involvement in EIA and the other on the current state of EIA.
