Studying the environment, planning for lend use, and designing structures in it is a complex process, calling for the skills of planners, landscape architects, civil engineers, natural scientists, and public officials, to name just a few. Whatever your professional rote in environmental analysis, your work brings you in contact with many other specialties, each with techniques and requirements that affect what you do. This book was written to keep you fully informed on key aspects of environmental analysis for planning and design, especially those outside your own immediate field. Author William M. Marsh, in association with ten leading specialists, has brought a wide range of topics together in one attractive, vividly illustrated volume. Keeping it close at hand will save you hours of research in scattered sources as you approach such cross-disciplinary assignments as :
Environmental inventory and site evaluation. The book reviews the different types of data needed for a thorough understanding of a site's problems and potentials; it identifies information sources and explains how to use them --
Preparation and review of environmental impact statements. The book discusses what information an acceptable ElS should contain on such subjects as soils, drainage, topography, vegetation, spatial distributions, and flood probability --
Determining development opportunities and constraints. The book explores what contour maps, soil maps, aerial photographs, hydrologic data, field samples, and other sources reveal about possibilities for different kinds of development --
