This memoir chronicles Richard Fuller's endeavours to clean up toxic brown hotspots in the developed and the developing world. While most everyone has heard of going green, few are aware of the more sinister brown pollution-places; those spots where the death toll of man-made pollutants numbers in the million. This title introduces readers to the environmental science behind identifying, understanding and remedying brown sites. Hard science is always parsed in terms of Fuller's own experiences, making this both pertinent and accessible.
