It has an excellent bibliography on environmental quality management… It is an important contribution to the literature for environmental studies….This reviewer recommends it highly….” — Natural Resources Forum
“[He] writes with style and humor, turning a potentially dull topic into lively reading…. Raufer’s focus on a particular city is a good strategy. He describes Philadelphias specific problems and personalities in sufficient detail to make his account substantively weighty without seeming irrelevant or boring to non-Philadelphians…. My one regret about this fine book is that it is not available in a cheaper edition….” — ISIS
“The rich historical perspective provided is very helpful in understanding the current state of environmental management as well as providing an outlook for its future development. I therefore highly recommend this book.” — Journal of Environmental Planning and Management
“The great value of this book, other than its interesting environmental history of a highly populated urban area, is the author’s clear presentation of the primary issues of environmental management theory: pollution control mechanisms, health risk assessment, and latest considerations in emissions marketing, which will loom large in the ongoing global warming debate.” — Journal of Environmental Education
