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. 588 0 Online resource; title fromPDF title page (JSTOR, viewed on February 12, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Sanitary landfill closures|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh95007323|zNew York (State)|zNew York.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007751-781 650 7 Sanitary landfill closures.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1105037 651 0 Fresh Kills Landfill (New York, N.Y.)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2006006324 651 0 Freshkills Park (New York, N.Y.)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2014001225 651 7 New York (State)|zNew York.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1204333 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMelosi, Martin V., 1947-|tFresh Kills. |dNew York : Columbia University Press, [2020] |z9780231189484|w(DLC) 2019023877|w(OCoLC)1097960391 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2102679|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
