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 -- Land use Environmental aspects United States.
