Environmental Impact Assessment review

This item was delivered in good time and is in the condition advertised by the seller. A good service provided and much cheaper than buying a new copy.

Fascination

This book is incredible, I only had to read a few chapters of it, and I have already finished the book. I have loved reading this book for one of my classes. This is the kind of information that I want to deal with when I am finally finished with school.

Comprehensive EIA Resource

At over hundred bucks, this book is not for everybody. But it is the best all-in-one resource for conducting environmental impact assessments. The book is crammed full with tables and diagrams on everything from examples of project-effects interaction matrices to "A Comparison of Four Habitat Evaluation Methods." Besides introductory and general how-to-do-an-EIA material, chapters cover air, surface water, soil/groundwater, noise, biological envt., cultural envt., socioeconomic envt, visual impacts, and public participation. The writing has a no-nonsense engineering flavor. Not for casual reading, but as a resource/reference for students and professionals this is a high quality but overpriced book.
