Reviews

"""In recent years, greater awareness of urban decay has inspired a number of publications describing how human activity has significantly contributed to the environmental contamination. This book contributes to the growing scholarly literature of applied studies about environmentally compromised areas throughout the US. Each chapter provides historical background, explains how particular areas are being dealt with and, more important, that they are becoming durably sustainable locations through innovative management procedures designed to help control or reduce risk."" L. Yacher, Professor Emeritus, Southern Connecticut State University"
