Foreword by Congressman Morris K. Udall. 309 pages, cloth, dj, some underlining otherwise very good. From the publisher: This book focuses on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to explore critical problems of modern government and democratic politics. The volume chronicles the EPA from its founding in 1970 to the end of the Reagan Administration. Its centerpiece is a set of five specific cases, each of which explores a different dimension of the agency's activities. It judges the performance of the agency on the basis of four specific standards: fidelity to technical merits, promoting civic education, responsiveness to the public, and building institutional capacity.
