Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment

This updated edition of Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment provides a practical, step-by-step approach to environmental impact assessment. Written from an interdisciplinary perspective and taking into account both physical and human environments, this text is essential foracademic courses in geography, environmental science, planning, and civil engineering, and also makes an ideal text for professional training and reference for practitioners and administrators. Providing extensive Canadian case studies, with a few from Europe, Australia, and the USA, the textprovides students with opportunities to see EIA in practice. The second edition includes two new chapters: one on public involvement in EIA and the other on the current state of EIA.
