Summary:

This unique volume brings together key writings from experts drawn from the first ten years of the <i>Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management (JEAPM)</i>, launched in 1999 as a forum for encouraging better linkages between environmental assessment and management tools. The book is structured around four themes that focus on the characteristics of tools that influence their ability to link together effectively: The Nature of Tools; The Nature of Decision-Making and Institutional Context; The Nature of Engagement and The Nature of Sustainability. Edited and introduced by Will
