Ethical Land Use: Principles of Policy and Planning

Not a practical guide to regulating land use, but a philosophical work based on the premise that both collectively and individually we make ethical and moral decisions about land use all the time, and that we could make better decisions if we were more aware of the principles we use to make them and the issues that surround them. Explores how land use relates to a general ethical framework, overall moral obligations, individual liberties, community, and politics. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95.

<p>Hugo... Andrew... Felix... Fran... The names of hurricanes that have devastated the Caribbean region are firmly implanted in the minds of those who survived them. Beyond the scrutiny of the press and television cameras, those survivors often struggle not only with the destruction left in the hurricane's wake but also with the chaotic and disruptive circumstances brought about by massive infusions of well-intentioned "aid." In After the Hurricane, Philip R. Berke and Timothy Beatley present state-of-the-art research on recovery programs that work -- programs that provide immediate aid to victims and lay the basis for sustainable development and growth.</p>
<p>Drawing on three years of extensive field research on Jamaica, Antigua, Montserrat, and St. Kitts and Nevis, Berke and Beatley offer detailed analysis of the effects of two recent major hurricanes -- Gilbert in 1988 and Hugo in 1989.</p>
