Abstract
Freeze gives a highly readable account of the problems associated with toxic waste prevention, remediation, and environmental regulation. He writes in a way that makes it easy for lay readers to understand fairly complex technical subjects, and furthermore to enjoy reading about them. Each chapter has a useful summary of points made, and the conclusions of the whole book are summarized at the end. A glossary of acronyms (especially for non- American readers who might not understand some of the regulatory organizations), and technical terms would be useful additions.
