more law than science
Toxic Legacy is ably written. Clear writing helps navigate an arcane topic in which the author is well-versed.The book provides an interesting assortment of photographs of DDT uses during World War II and in the home.DDT's inventor received a Nobel prize for its enormous public-health contributions.

Amazingly comprehensive and well-written
This hardcover volume is one of the most thorough and informed discussions you're likely to find on legal issues affecting the elderly. The authors, who are both elder law attorneys, begin with a quote from Milton Berle: "I've got enough money for the rest of my life, unless I want to buy something." They wrote the book, the authors say, to give readers "more than a punchline" with which to face their future. After reading it, you'll be able to face your future as something of an expert yourself. Every adult should read it.
Easy to read and follow.Not just for seniors.Recommend it for all ages.Concise and to the point.Up-to-date with great resources in appendix.

The best guide in this topic I have seen!
Possibly the best legal guide of any type I have seen.It's hard to believe that this is written by a LAWYER because it's actually easy for a regular person to understand. Highly recommended!! ... Read more

A good primer on the gun control issue for the open minded.
...This book addresses the real reason that gun control laws "don't work."It also addresses the potential for gun control laws as crime fighting tools. Vizzard does this in a very balanced manner. Gun control politics
This latest effort of William Vizzard was written primarily for those readers who have a real interest in the history and future of gun control. This book does not necessarily provide "ammunition" for either side of this complx controversy, nor do I believe it was written for that purpose.Real insight is provided into the lobbying techniques& political crusades of both sides and gives the reader background material in a strainghtforward & factual manner without presenting biased claims for either side.Mr. Vizzard, because of his personal experiences, research and education has a totally unique insight into both sides of the issue and his well documented dissertation allows the reader to examine the policy, politics and symbolism as the success and failure of past efforts & the future of gun control in this Nation.

Politics of Gun Control
This latest effort of William Vizzard was written primarily for those readers who have a real interest in the politics of gun control.It does not necessarily provide "ammunition" for either side of this complex issue nor do I beleive it was written for that purpose. This Book does however, provide a real insight into the lobbying techniques and political crusades of both sides of gun control and certainly provides the reader with significant background material in a straightforward and factual manner without attempting to present unproven and biased claims for either side. Mr. Vizzard, because of his personal experience, research and education has a totally unique insight into this issue and his well documented dissertatin allows the reader to examine all aspects of the successes and failures of gun control in this Nation. ...
