Blackburn Press announces the reprinting of a classic textbook in the fourth quarter of 2005:

Adaptive Environmental Assessment and Management (International Series on Applied Systems Analysis), Edited by CS Holling, ISBN 1-932-846-07-7

This textbook develops an adaptive approach to environmental impact assessment and management and is based on a study initiated by a workshop convened in early 1974 by SCOPE (Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment). C.S. Holling discusses the nature and behavior of ecological systems and its issues, limitations, and potential of environmental assessment. Further, he discusses how we can incorporate impact assessment studies with actual environmental planning and decision making. This book is available from Blackburn Press at:
