'Required reading for anybody with both a general and professional interest in environmental management.' Niels West, Research Professor and Professor Emeritus, Department of Marine Affairs, University of Rhode Island 'This new volume from Bo Elling, a leading expert in the fields of EIA and SEA, provides a comprehensive critical approach to developments in these fields and proposes a unique integration of philosophy and environmental management, involving aesthetics and ethics and increased public participation in decision-making. This book will play a major role in the advancement of environmental management thinking and in the continued development of the influential environmental assessment tool. I strongly recommend this book to students, academics, consultants and government professionals.' Christopher Wood, Emeritus Professor of Environmental Planning, University of Manchester 'Rationality and the Environment uniquely examines the work of environmental sociologists and philosophers in order to lay the foundation between environmental politics and management and the emerging field of environmental philosophy. It should be required reading for anybody with both a general and professional interest in environmental management.' Niels West, Research Professor and Professor Emeritus, Department of Marine Affairs, University of Rhode Island 'A much-needed, fundamental contribution to the hitherto mainly pragmatic discussions on role, function and form of environmental impact assessments, which translates into very practical views and processes.' Wil A. H. Thissen, Professor and Head of Policy Analysis, Delft University of Technology
