Journal Of The Society For Industrial Archaeology - Susan R. Martin
Unique and valuable... the book for all who deal with Section 106 regulations to read and reread.

American Antiquity - Michael D. Petraglia
What makes this book especially valuable is the author. Thomas F. King has been involved in the Section 106 process since its inception, has taught section 106 classes for years, and has probably thought more about the regulation's evolution than any other person alive.
High Plains Applied Anthropologist - Darby C. Strapp
[Tom King] very nearly manages to bring what can be a complicated and arcane process into lay terms. Laced with humor, thought-provoking (and sometimes controversial) prose, and simplified examples, Federal Planning and Historic Places should assist anyone who wishes to learn about the 106 process.
Nebraska History - Bill Callahan
I would recommend King's book to students in academic programs that serve to train the next generation of historic preservation professionals.... Those of us who are professionally involved with historic preservation planning in the United States (and her trust territories that are also subject to the process) will find many, many sections of King's book to be enlightening, provocative, and interesting—and funny to boot! .... King's book, as I have said,is wonderfully insightful.
Northeast Historical Archaeology, Vol 29, 2000 - Edward L. Bell
If Historical Preservation Departments across the country realize the importance of King's work, it maybe come the essential supplement to those who would assure employment to thousands of archaeologists, historians, and preservationists. And, if this happens, it may turn the tide in preserving what is important to many Americans. This is a valuable work.
