Mervelously Enlightening!

Bruce Williams and Albert Matheny put together a cohesive collection of insights into the regulation of hazardous wastes. This book is all about dialogue, and the characters that come into play here are on three very different levels. Of course the unspoken character is the environment, and that is the one that is the most impacted by the discussions. This book illustrates just how confused and confusing policy making can be. This book is a fantastic read, but also very frustrating when you really think about the implications.
