CHOICE Review

Tibor (ISO Technical Committee 207) and Feldman (ISO 14000 Legal Issues Forum) explore the ISO 14000 series of standards for environmental management in this encyclopedic reference volume, which is divided into seven parts: "ISO 14000 and Strategic Environmental Management"; "Implementing ISO 14000"; "ISO 14000 and ISO 9000 Integration"; "ISO 14001 Registration"; "Regulatory and Enforcement Issues"; "Other ISO 14000 Tools"; and "ISO 14000 in Perspective." After a brief introduction, academicians, business practitioners, and environmental specialists explain the ISO 14001 EMS specification standard; examine the ISO registration process; and review the design and implementation of programs for the integration of ISO 9000-based quality systems (see Kenneth Arnold's The Manager's Guide to ISO 9000, CH, Nov'94). Excellent use is made of illustrative materials. An in-depth knowledge of business management and environmental issues is a prerequisite to understanding the subject matter. Appendixes include the EPA Policy Statement "Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction and Prevention of Violations"; "The ICC Business Charter for Sustainable Development"; "CERES Principles"; "Public Environmental Reporting Initiative Guidelines"; "Glossary of Acronyms and Terms"; and "EPA Pollution Prevention Programs."
