Covering all thirteen species of wild cattle, Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour of Wild Cattle brings together the contributions of international leading experts on the biology, evolution, conservation status and management of the tribe Bovini, providing: • A comprehensive review of current knowledge on systematic, anatomy and ecology of all wild cattle species (chapters 1 to 8); • A clear understanding of the conservation status of each species and the gaps in our current knowledge (chapters 9 to 20); • A number of case studies on conservation activities and an investigation of some of the most threatened and poorly understood species (chapters 21 to 27). An invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in behavioural ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation biology, this beautifully illustrated reference work reveals the extraordinary link between wild cattle and humans, the benefits some of these species have brought us, and their key roles in their natural ecosystems.

Environmental Impact Assessment sets out the legal requirements relating to EIAs including the relationship of European Union law with domestic law and the resulting cases. The book concentrates on the role that EIAs play in the planning application process. It includes sections on EIAs in specific contexts (such as forestry, archaeology, agriculture and highways); and a section on good practice that offers guidance on scoping the statement, how to write the non-technical summary and certain aspects such as social impact, air quality, noise and health risk assessments.The third edition has been fully updated to include:- Analysis and explanation of the implications of Brexit and the continuing role of EU law- Key decisions of the higher courts, notably the 2024 decision of the Supreme Court in Finch on assessing Scope 3 emissions- Expanded coverage of EIA in the context of development consent orders for nationally significant infrastructure- Developments in appropriate assessment of projects having effects on designated habitat sitesThis title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.
