Testimony and other comment about the US National Environmental Policy Act and the environmental impact statements it requires tends toward advocacy, for or against, says Greenberg
(environmental policy, Rutgers, U.), so he decided that if he wanted actual evaluation, he would have to do it himself. Writing for students and their instructors in a course on or encompassing
the statements, he measures selected environmental impact statements against a set of standard questions. He begins, however, with a statement of values and 40 years of field trials. The
statements are for such projects and concerns as metropolitan New Jersey: transportation, sprawl, and urban revitalization; Johnston Island: destruction of the US chemical weapons stockpile;
and Animas-La Plata, Four Corners: water rights and the Ute legacy. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
