"In this book, two leading experts provide a comprehensive survey of former manufactured gas plant sites in Massachusetts. The subjects covered include a historical overview and many contemporary matters such as legacy contamination, site remediation, and legal issues. The range of subjects covered makes this an essential reference work for any professional interested in environmental engineering, urban planning, or environmental law related to former manufactured gas plants. Case studies further enrich the practical value of the book."

"This is an important book, not only for professionals involved in the investigation and cleanup of MGP sites in the Commonwealth, but for similar professionals in other states, and to people with an interest in the development of the industrial technology of 19th and 20th century America."

"This book has undertaken an incredibly detailed study of the gas industry in Massachusetts. It makes a fascinating read for all those who study the subject of industrial history or contaminated land investigation. Those directly working in Massachusetts on former MGP sites will find it of immediate benefit, whilst it contains approaches which can be applied in the study of former MGP sites in other US states and abroad. The book will find its way into the library of many MGP investigators and enthusiasts worldwide"
