?Dr. Bruce Piasecki's volume Beyond Dumping is aptly titled and timely. The issues, conditions and recommendations resurrected in the essays make not only for intriguing reading but also serve to remind us as a nation that we cannot continue to bury our resources and mistakes well into the 21st Century. The need to expand the cooperative effort among governmental agencies, regulated industries, and affected local citizens is more than good public policy--it's sheer economic necessity. The authors' options clearly point out ways in which to terminate and to avoid costly regulatory delays and mistakes that the nation has paid for. With current economic conditions there is an urgency to developing support for nonlandbased alternatives not only for environmental protection but also to maintain and enhance the competititve edge of domestic enterprise.?-Rosalie T.

These include source reduction, recycling, detoxification, and energy recovery. The book is extensively referenced and clearly written. It should be informative and entertaining to those who have even a modest interest in the subject.
