Collaborative Land-Use Management: The Quieter Revolution in Place-Based Planning discusses the less-regulatory approaches to land-use management that have emerged over the past 35 years, analyzing the collective value of such place-based planning approaches as land trusts, open-space ballot measures, watershed conservancies, ecoregional plans, and smart-growth initiatives. Collaborative Land Use Management appraises these trends from physical, social, economic, civic, and environmental justice perspectives..

Karen Pelletier is the kind of person who, driving through a snowstorm, chants Emily Dickinson to herself as a talisman--"It sifts from Leaden Sieves, / It powders all the Wood. / It fills with Alabaster Wool / The Wrinkles of the Road." And Joanne Dobson has done such a good job making Karen a real and complex character that we happily go along for the ride. In her first novel, Dobson (who teaches English at Fordham University and has written a book about Dickinson) adds new life to the academic mystery by making her lead character as tough as she is smart: a working-class single mother suddenly offered a chance to teach at the very posh Enfield College in Massachusetts. Professor Pelletier, who left behind a longtime lover in New York to take the job, now has to cope with men as diverse as Randy Astin-Berger (a trendy, Mick Jagger look-alike trying to live up to his first name), a patrician college president sending out mixed messages, and--after Karen finds Randy strangled by his necktie in a closet--a comfortable old cop called Piotrowski. The reality of academic hysteria is perfectly captured; the crime and detection are carefully plotted; and Dobson fully fleshes out Karen, her daughter Amanda, and all the rest of her female characters so that they live with the reader long after the book is finished. --Dick Adler.

This book is a collection of experiences which reflects the impact hearing loss has had on each contributor Each person's experience is different and it is told in their own words. Coupled with the results of their audiological evaluations, each describes how they live and cope with their hearing impairment. The material was gathered at a writing workshop coordinated by the authors which allowed time for the participants to discuss specific questions related to their experiences with hearing loss as a group and then retreat to separate areas to write their own thoughts. Discussions flowed freely and often had to be limited to allow ample time for writing. Each of the stories are unique, yet often similar; stories of both struggle and challenge as well as glory and achievement. The names of the participants have been changed as requested by several in the group for anonymity. Our mission in preparing this book is to convey snapshots of how hearing loss impacts all areas of the life of a person with hearing impairment: educationally, environmentally, occupationally, socially, psychologically and emotionally. Because communication connects us to the world, it has a global influence on all aspects of our life. We hope that by sharing these stories from the hearts of all of the participants, you will better understand the implications of hearing loss. The appendices outline more content and details about the workshop..
