Together with Joel Tarr and William Cronon, Martin Melosi is among the most innovative urban-environmental historians of his generation. Exceptionally productive, he has written eight books, including the recent and highly praised Sanitary City: Urban Infrastructure in America from Colonial Times to the Present (2000). Melosi has also authored countless articles, thirty of which are cited in the notes to the genial autobiographical note that prefaces Effluent America. This piece charts an intriguing academic journey from aspirant diplomatic historian, undertaking doctoral research on postwar investigations into the Pearl Harbor debacle, to pioneering chronicler of solutions and nonsolutions to urban garbage problems
