Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment Reviews of earlier editions ‘This book should join a limited number of publications that provide the essential first stages on a rapid EIA learning curve… Well written and referenced and should provide an invaluable introduction to EIA for a wide range of people including students, practitioners, developers and decision makers.’ Environmental Assessment. ‘This book gives the student a good introduction to the history and evolution of environmental impact assessment. It covers the existing legislation well and provides interesting case studies and examples along the way to keep the reader interested… Many local authorities when faced with their first EIA would welcome such a review.’ Built Environment. Introduction to environmental impact assessment: 3rd edition A comprehensive, clearly structured and readable overview of the subject, Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment quickly established itself as the leading introduction to EIA. The second edition developed many issues of growing importance in this fast- moving subject area, and reinforced the success of the book. In this third edition, the major updates include, in particular, • experience of the implementation of the revised EC and UK EIA Directive • best practice in the EIA process • a new case-studies section which explores some key issues in the process • comparative EIA system worldwide • changing prospects for EIA • the development of SEA legislation and practice. The book has comprehensive appendices, with a wealth of important reference material, including key websites. Written by three authors with extensive research, training and practical experience of EIA, this book brings together the most up-to-date information from many sources. Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment 3rd Edition not only provides a complete introductory text but will also support further studies. Students on undergraduate and postgraduate planning programmes will find it essential as a course text, as will students of environmental management/policy, environmental sciences/ studies, geography and built environment. Planners, developers and decision-makers in government and business will also welcome this new edition as a very effective means of getting to grips with this important subject.
