The EIS Book Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements

The EIS Book Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements

Poor Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) practice leads to poorly planned projects and ultimately poor environmental protection. Written by recognized NEPA authority Charles H. Eccleston The EIS Book: Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements supplies focused direction on preparing an EIS highlighting best professional practices (BBP) and lessons learned from case law that provide valuable direction for preparing legally defensible documents. The book is not about preparing bigger or more complicated EISs—but better ones. Beginning with fundamental topics and advancing into successively more advanced subjects Eccleston describes EIS preparation as a comprehensive framework for planning future actions rather than merely a document preparation procedure. He supplies direction for preparing defensible analyses that facilitate well-planned projects and improved decision-making. Discusses EIS document requirements including the Council of Environmental Quality’s NEPA regulations and related guidelines EPA guidance and requirements presidential executive orders and case law Covers how to perform a legally sufficient cumulative impact assessment and how to evaluate greenhouse emissions and climate change Details a step-by-step approach for navigating the entire EIS process that includes all pertinent process requirements from issuing the notice of intent through public scoping to issuing the final record of decision (ROD) Includes analytical requirements for preparing the EIS analysis and guidance for performing various types of analyses Provides tools techniques and best professional practices for preparing the EIS and performing the analysis Presents a case study that reinforces key EIS regulatory requirements and integrates lessons learned from this case study with appropriate regulatory requirements The book gives readers a firm grasp of the process for preparing an EIS including all key regulatory requirements that a legally sufficient EIS document must satisfy. No other book synthesizes all such requirements and guidance into a single source for easy and rapid access. | The EIS Book Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements

Biosecurity in the Making The Threats the Aspects and the Challenge of Readiness

Biosecurity in the Making The Threats the Aspects and the Challenge of Readiness

The explosive growth of bioeconomy and bioscience coupled with an interconnected planet increases the potential impact of large-scale bio-events. Either causing public health threats as in epidemics or posing food security issues from mass poisonings to large-scale starvation such eventualities are direct threats and indirect destabilizers in a planetary context. The issue of Biosecurity thus pervades every affected aspect from exploitations of the agro-sector and the food industry to the Public Health management the novel therapeutic/treatment approaches the new age of space deep-sea and subterranean explorations and the interface with the cyber world and the massive or small-scale projection of violence. It has been present since ancient times tacitly and discreetly but only recently took its present guise the different aspects of which are explored in this book. | Biosecurity in the Making The Threats the Aspects and the Challenge of Readiness

At the Heart of the Coral Triangle Celebrating Biodiversity

Endlessly fascinating unpretentiously educational thoughtfully accessible and beautifully presented - Alex Tattersall award-winning underwater photographer and the founder of Underwater Visions. The Coral Triangle straddling the confluence of the Indian and Pacific Oceans harbours the greatest biodiversity of marine life on the planet. It is home to a wondrous variety including 75% of the world's coral species and around 2500 species of fish.

Habitats range from underwater slopes of volcanic black sand to extensive coral reefs in atolls and vast calderas. While clearly vulnerable to increasing global threats such as climate change pollution and overfishing the Coral Triangle currently features some the richest coral reefs in the world. With stunning photography supported by an engaging and accessible text this book highlights and celebrates this biodiversity along with the underlying message that it needs our care and protection before it is too late. | At the Heart of the Coral Triangle Celebrating Biodiversity

The Mathematics of Politics

The Mathematics of Politics

It is because mathematics is often misunderstood it is commonlybelieved it has nothing to say about politics. The high schoolexperience with mathematics for so many the lasting impressionof the subject suggests that mathematics is the study of numbers operations formulas and manipulations of symbols. Thosebelieving this is the extent of mathematics might conclude mathematics has no relevance to politics. This book counters this impression. The second edition of this popular book focuses on mathematical reasoningabout politics. In the search for ideal ways to make certain kindsof decisions a lot of wasted effort can be averted if mathematics can determine thatfinding such an ideal is actually impossible in the first place. In the first three parts of this book we address the following threepolitical questions:(1) Is there a good way to choose winners of elections?(2) Is there a good way to apportion congressional seats?(3) Is there a good way to make decisions in situations of conflict anduncertainty?In the fourth and final part of this book we examine the ElectoralCollege system that is used in the United States to select a president. There we bring together ideas that are introduced in each of the threeearlier parts of the book. | The Mathematics of Politics

The Astronomy Revolution 400 Years of Exploring the Cosmos

The Astronomy Revolution 400 Years of Exploring the Cosmos

Some 400 years after the first known patent application for a telescope by Hans Lipperhey The Astronomy Revolution: 400 Years of Exploring the Cosmos surveys the effects of this instrument and explores the questions that have arisen out of scientific research in astronomy and cosmology. Inspired by the international New Vision 400 conference held in Beijing in October 2008 this interdisciplinary volume brings together expanded and updated contributions from 26 esteemed conference speakers and invited others. Looking beyond questions of science to the role of moral responsibility in human civilizations the book offers the unique vantage points of contributions from both Eastern and Western cultures. Extensively illustrated in full color this book consists of six parts. Aimed at young scientists the first part presents perspectives on creativity and technology in scientific discovery. In the second part contributors examine how the telescope has impacted our knowledge of the Universe—from the formation of galaxies to the death of stars. The third part of the book outlines some of the challenges we face in understanding dark matter dark energy black holes and cosmic rays and the fourth part discusses new technologies that will be useful in attacking new and unresolved questions. The fifth part of the book examines the intellectual impact that the telescope has had on society in China and in the West. The book concludes with an investigation of big questions: What is the origin of the laws of physics as we know them? Are these laws the same everywhere? How do these scientific laws relate to the moral laws of society? Does what we know depend on cultural ways of asking the questions? Is there life elsewhere? And what about the questions that science cannot answer?
