This book is about a subject that Michael Greenberg has worked on and lived with for almost forty years. He was brought up in the south Bronx at a time when his neighborhood suffered from terrible air and noise pollution; and domestic waste went untreated into the Hudson River. For him; the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was a blessing. It included an ethical position about the environment; and the law required some level of accountability in the form of an environmental impact statement; or EIS. After forty years of thinking about and working with NEPA and the EIS process; Greenberg decided to conduct his own evaluation from the perspective of a person trained in science who focuses on environmental and environmental health policies. This book of carefully chosen real case studies goes beyond the familiar checklists of what to do; and shows students and practitioners alike what really happens during the creation and implementation of an EIS.
