-How 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.- --Donald J. Zeigler, The Professional Geographer
-[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.- --Michael K. Heiman,
