Reviews

The authors are correct. This is the definitive source for a nontechnical analysis of 21st century technical environmental issues. Dr. John D. McKenna, C.E.O., ETS, Inc., Roanoke, VA. Really a great book. Easy to read and easy to understand the complex maze of environmental subject matter. Robert McIlvaine, President, The McIlvaine Co., Northfield, IL. A hard book not to like. The new material is a welcome addition. Congratulations once again to the Theodores. Kenneth Skipka, Principal, RTP Environmental, Inc., Carle Place, NY
