From the reviews: This book takes on the formidable task of bringing the interdisciplinary and diverse aspects of contaminated site investigation together in one place. Each chapter of this book is written as a stand alone subject discussion . The stand alone chapter design does allow readers to pick and chose which chapters they wish to read and in what sequence. I found the discussions on viewing soils as a valuable and potentially nonrenewable resource to be an important and critical topic.
