Recenzii

'What might seem an arcane debate about how cars should be inspected was actually the first round in a massive battle between determined bureaucrats and unmovable politicians, with the fate of the brand-new Clean Air Act Amendments in the balance. This is a rare and valuable glimpse at how America makes - or fails to make - critical environmental and public health policy decisions.' -Mary Nichols, Chair, California Air Resources Board
'Compelling and relevant. It is full of detail but not bogged down in jargon, and very effectively reflects the views of participants in different institutions. Eisinger offers a host of concrete lessons for policymakers and students of the policymaking process.' -Gary C. Bryner, Brigham Young University
'Doug Eisinger successfully pulls back the curtain on how policy is actually accomplished; Smog Check provides a unique look at the strengths and weaknesses of our legislative system. It's a fascinating primer with timeless insights for anyone interested in public policy or environmental management.' -Richard Katz, member, California State Assembly, 1980-96
'As a legislative participant in the debate between the EPA and the State of California over reducing air pollution from automobiles, I found Doug Eisinger's history fascinating. It contains a discerning account of the legislative process and imparts useful information for resolving future conflicts between state and federal authorities. The book is a primer for implementation of environmental and other national policy.' -Judge Quentin L. Kopp, member, California State Senate, 1986-98
