As a professional in the field of landfill and landfill gas operation and design, I am very impressed by both the depth and the accuracy of the information presented in this new text. The book achieves the balance of being detailed enough to service the experienced professional in the field while also presenting the materials in a manner that allows a novice reader to find and understand issues that they may encounter. It represents a comprehensive study of the Landfill Gas to Energy Field and the authors have done an excellent job of including the most up to date developments in the field. The various technologies and economics of the energy field are all accurately covered as well. Beyond the scope of the study, the text is also well organized, very well written and expertly illustrated. Besides being a useful resource book, it allows for easy reading and a quick way to learn about the field. With the potential to be the premier reference text in the field of landfill gas to energy for the years to come, it should be on the shelf of every professional working in this field. - David S.
