Customer Reviews

An OUTSTANDING treatment of the pollution topic

I found this book to be informative and educational, allowing adults as well as junior-high students to benefit from the author's vast knowledge of the environmental and political points associated with finding, isolating and cleaning up hazardous waste.

An excellently written, well-balanced book!!!

I am MOST impressed with the author's coverage of various topics related to the political, ethical, moral, and sociological aspects of pollution and waste management. Everyone, from middle school through educated adult, should read it and learn about these above-mentioned aspects of our waste management story, including the history of Superfund and other important environmental legislation.
