The difficulties in discussing technical matters to non- technical readers are well understood by the author, therefore all areas in the book are introduced in a comprehensible and straightforward manner before progressing to cover the necessary technical details. This book is primarily aimed at industry professionals who are involved with developing, implementing, maintaining and modifying environmental management systems, and at managers who are directing environmental policy. It will also prove invaluable reading for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students who are taking courses concerned with the design and implementation of environmental management systems.
