520    "Fresh Kills-a monumental 2,200-acre structure on Staten 
       Island-was once the world's largest landfill. From 1948 to
       2001, it was the main receptacle for New York City's 
       refuse. After the 9/11 attacks, it reopened briefly to 
       receive human remains and rubble from the destroyed Twin 
       Towers, turning a notorious disposal site into a cemetery.
       Today, a mammoth reclamation project is transforming the 
       landfill site, constructing an expansive park three times 
       the size of Central Park. Martin V. Melosi provides a 
       comprehensive chronicle of Fresh Kills that offers new 
       insights into the growth and development of New York City 
       and the relationship among consumption, waste, and 
       disposal. He traces the metamorphoses of the landscape, 
       following it from salt marsh to landfill to cemetery and 
       looks ahead to the future park. By centering the problem 
       of solid-waste disposal, Melosi highlights the unwanted 
       consequences of mass consumption. He presents the Fresh 
       Kills space as an embodiment of massive waste, linking 
       consumption to the continuing presence of its discards. 
       Melosi also uses the landfill as a lens for understanding 
       Staten Island's history and its relationship with greater 
       New York City. The first book on the history of the iconic
       landfill, Fresh Kills unites environmental, political, and
       cultural history to offer a reflection on material culture,
       consumer practices, and perceptions of value and 
       worthlessness"--|cProvided by publisher.
