With the needs of the environment and the movement toward sustainability ever in mind, designers and managers of projects find themselves needing more quantitative and qualitative methods and techniques to assess environmental impacts and present their findings in a clear and cogent manner. In this report, contributors describe their efforts to develop an adaptive approach to environmental impact assessment and management for managers and policy makers who are dissatisfied with traditional procedures. They describe their approach, including steps in the process, orchestrating an assessment and choosing a technique, promoting better understanding, invalidating the model, evaluating alternative policies and communicating. They provide five case studies ranging from forest and fisheries management to development of a high mountain region and a wildlife information system. Appendices include a set of assessment techniques. Annotation 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
