Reviews
Thomas Dietz, Michigan State University:
Grant, Jorgenson, and Longhofer have made a pioneering effort with Super Polluters. Their detailed investigation of electrical power plants, and what drives their emissions, will be of substantial interest to environmental sociologists and any social scientists interested in climate mitigation.
