520 Whether it comes by air, by land, or by water, pollution
has long plagued the American city. And for just as long,
the question of how to deal with urban wastes has taxed
the minds of scientists, engineers, and public officials -
and the pocketbooks of ordinary citizens. For more than
twenty years, Joel A. Tarr has written about the issues of
urban pollution. In this collection of his essays,
Professor Tarr surveys what technology has done to, and
for, the environment of the American city since 1850. In
studies ranging from the horse to the railroad, from
infrastructure development to industrial and domestic
pollution, from the Hudson River to the smokestacks of
Pittsburgh, his constant theme is the tension between the
production of wastes and the attempts to dispose of them
or control them with minimal costs. The Search for the
Ultimate Sink: Urban Pollution in Historical Perspective
stands alone in its scholarly depth and scope. These
essays explore not only the technical solutions to waste
disposal, but also the policy issues involved in the trade
-offs among public health, environmental quality, and the
difficulties and costs of pollution control, and all this
against the broader background of changes in civic and
professional values. Any reader concerned with the
interactive history of technology, the environment, and
the American city will find in The Search for the Ultimate
Sink an informative and compelling account of pollution
problems from the past and a serious guide to urban
policies for the future.
