Review excerpt:

This collection of essays on environmental, health, and safety regulation by distinguished critics of the conventional wisdom in this area should provide stimulating reading for both academics and policymakers. The book contains chapters by scientists, economist, and policy analysts, all which are accessible to nonspecialists. It should be a valuable source of readings for courses in benefit-cost analysis at both the graduate and undergraduate level.
