Praise for the previous book, Effective Environmental Assessments:
How to Manage and Write NEPA Assessments (CRC Press, 2001):"Mr.
Eccleston has written a most thorough guide to managing and
preparing EAs that puts NEPA back into its original perspective—a
planning and decision-making tool … comprehensively covers the EA
process … provides practical guidance for effectively preparing an
analysis …"
—Mr. Russell W. Peterson, Former Governor of Delaware and Former
Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ)"NEPA is the
cornerstone of our environmental statutory structure and provides a
strategic look for long-range planning. By explaining the
environmental assessment process in a scholarly, yet easily
understandable way, Charles Eccleston has performed an enormous
service for all who care about the protection of our country's—and
indeed the world's—environment."
—Michael R. Deland, Former Chairman, Council on Environmental
Quality"Charles Eccleston has performed a real service in authoring
Effective Environmental Assessments: How to Manage and Write NEPA
Assessments. The book fills a void and concentrates on
environmental assessments, a critical but underemphasized part of
the NEPA process. It is, furthermore, both useful and
user-friendly."
—Nicholas C. Yost, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, former General
Counsel of the CEQ charged with responsibility for writing the 1978
CEQ NEPA Regulations
