Environmental Policy and NEPA is a concise study of environmental policy-where we have come from, what we are facing and where we can go in the future

This excellent reference brings together 28 contributing authors who combine their expertise to address a multitude of topics. Divided into three main parts, the book covers the historical background and trends of NEPA; addresses the current substantive and conceptual issues associated with the environmental impact assessment process; and discusses future opportunities.

"this book offers a great deal of information and insight regarding the way the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) works, or fails to work, or does not work as well as it should...presents a variety of viewpoints from people who bring different kinds of experience to their analysis, including six academicians and eight federal government agency workers...useful as a text or to supplement upper-division or graduate level courses in environmental policy...Those who teach NEPA or deal with it in their writings should be sure to become familiar with the volume."-Dean B.
