Environmental Impact Assessment: A Practical Guide

Rating:
Summary: The best all-in-one handbook for environmental practitioners
Review: This would be excellent for use as a college textbook in engineering, planning, or administrative curricula. As a guide throught the environmental regulations maze, it is an invaluable to consultants and agency personnel alike. The advice and tips related to preparing better quality and more efficient environmental documents is well worth the investment in this book. C. Huntington Assistant Vice President Parsons Brinckerhoff

Rating:
Summary: For consultants, worth its weight in gold
Review: While not a cookbook, this is definitely a "how-to" book by a woman who's forgotten more about "how to" than I'll ever know. Betty explains not only how to research, analyze, and document the entire spectrum of possible environmental impacts, but why, and she does it in easily accessible language. The bulk of her experience is in transportation, and it shows in the text, but the principles and procedures apply to any federal project. I made sure my staff had a copy so they wouldn't keep swiping mine. Thanks, Betty, we needed this...it's everything you promised and more!
