About this book
Present practices in resource management and environmental planning appear unable to help in preventing disasters such as oil spillages or the destruction of the Amazon rainforests. This book explores some of the fundamental issues associated with impact assessment, identifies current strengths and weaknesses, and suggests changes necessary to ensure impact assessment contributes fully to the achievement of sustainable resource management.
