Changes Needed to Gain Credibility, IndexReviewsHow little we know about the sources and volumes of hazardous wastes generated in the U.S., and how little attention has been paid to the selection of disposal sites, their human and ecological impacts, and the development of alternatives to landfills. What we do know, however, is presented clearly and concisely in this book by two leading authorities in the field... One of the strengths of this volume is its emphasis on solutions rather than just problems. It illustrates the ways in which a geographical approach to problem solving can yield useful and intuitively appealing solutions... The book includes specific recommendations for government and private industry, and a local scenario to improve the siting process, all of which are referenced to the academic and technical literature... [T]his would make an ideal book for an environmental geography of hazards course. It should also be required reading for state and local officials who are struggling with the problems of hazardous waste disposal. </p> --Donald J. Zeigler, <em>The Professional Geographer</em></p> [The book] remains a thorough and relatively inexpensive compendium on existent research about the most enigmatic environmental problem of our time. As such, the book is an important reference for the practitioner. </p> --Michael K.
