Good not great
I suspect a deliberate attempt on the part of the author to make probate accounting and legal issues seem as complicated (and dangerous to executors) as possible.Nearly every page advises the executor to get helpfrom an attorney.And where the services of an attorney are not required,the services of a professional accountant apparently are.This book wasseemingly written so that ignorant, inexperienced first-time executorswon't seem like idiots to all of those highly-skilled professionals whichare, if you believe the author, required in every case. Far too much spaceis used for sample charts, forms, and letters.These items presume, forexample, that the reader is so ignorant, he cannot write a letter to thedecedent's credit card company requesting cancellation of the card.Hemust be shown just what such a letter should look like. Yet, there is muchof value in this book.I've read several on the same subject recently andI've found Shenkman's frequent notes (i.e. tips)and suggestions to beperhaps of more interest than the vocabulary lessons he also offers.Thebook is logically organized and is written in such a way that unnecessarychapters can be ignored.Maybe this shouldn't be the only book in yourlibrary on the subject but, Shenkman's obsession with attorneys aside, itis well-worth the price and easy to read. ...

Bravo!
A great reference book for those needing to decipher hazardous waste regulatory jargon.I've wasted my money on other so-called interpretive guides, which merely summarized the law. Ho hum.Wagner's book goes muchfurther to explain and decipher the regulations, not just the law.Veryhelpful!

Finally, a book that fully and correctly explains RCRA!
A colleague shared this book with me to help explain some meaty aspect of RCRA.I finally understand what is required so that I can talk intelligently with the regulators.I subsequently went out and purchasedmy own copy.This book is great as a reference.I highly recommend youobtain a copy if you are as mystified by the RCRA regs as most of us are. ...

Revitalizing underutilized industrial sites---how it's done
The authors clearly present the factors that, on one hand, allow industrial and commercial property eyesores to exist, and on the otherhand, those factors that can redevelop them into valuable modern realestate.The NST/Engineers, Inc. reviewers have participated in brownfieldsremediation designs and in the development of estimated costs forremediation, sometimes extending decades into the future.Brownfields are,according to an EPA definition, "...abandoned, idled, or underused industrialand commercial sites where expansion or redevelopment is complicated byreal or perceived environmental contamination that can add cost, time anduncertainty to a redevelopment project."Read more

What's the difference between owning a painting and a pet?
What's the difference between owning a painting and a pet? Legal and social issues involved in pet ownership are treated to a scholarly discourse debating philosophical ideas involved in pet ownership in People, Property Or Pets? Essays come from lawyers, scientists, psychologists and students alike, examining legal guardianship, property status, and animal rights.
something different!
this book offers a refreshing and unique set of essays written by Harvard students, and reflected on by true experts. I found the arguments riveting--they pushed me to contemplate the status of animals in our society from the perspective of law, biochemistry, philosophy and even veterinary medicine. a recommended read for anyone wishing to challenge their intellectual understanding of the human world's interaction with our fellow species. ...

The Cottage Rules: An Owner's Guide To The Rights & Responsi
WOW!This book is a family saver!Our family ownership of a cottage is similar to one of the sitations described in the book.We were having trouble making decisions, getting agreement, coordinating, getting work done, scheduling etc.This book is beginning to change everything and make owning a cottage with our family enjoyable again.Now we will be able to refer back to the neutral 'rules' to which we all have agreed, rather than getting upset when we don't get our own way!!Plus, the book has given us ideas on things to do and introduces new ways of doing things.Thank you so much Nikki Koski, for writing and publishing this book!! ...

Must read for Conservationists
"Few ideas have bred more mischief in recent times, for the beauty and health of landscapes and communities, than the belief that privately owned land is first and foremost a market commodity that its owner can use in whatever way earns the most money."So begins a remarkable study of the changing views of private property throughout American history. The dynamic tension is between land health, in the Leopoldian sense, and unfettered freedom. Freyfogle explores the major common law doctrines dealing with private property, as well as evolving statute law. Interwoven throughout the book are reviews of relevant Supreme Court cases. Landowner rights are seen as a "bundle" of rights that are subject to change as societal priorities shift. Although the book is fundamentally about law, it does not at all read like a legal brief. It is a very engaging read. Freyfogle reviews in detail the "tragedy of the commons", contrasting it with his own "tragedy of fragmentation." The two prophets that serve as his muses are Aldo Leopold and Wendell Berry. It is clear that we are going to have to rethink property law issues as we begin to face the limits of our growth. Freyfogle's book will be an important guidebook for us for years to come as we begin to grapple with these issues.

With an open mind
Reading this book has made me probe the fundamental assumptions that I make about what it means to own land. This book presents a fresh and very well-sustained argument that private land ownership entails public responsibilities. It also discusses what those might include. The author weaves together legal and general history, philosophy, economic theory, conservation writings, ecology, and literature into an engaging and telling story about the institution of private property in America. ...
