6.		Building Suburbia: Green Fields and Urban Growth, 1820-2000 from Pantheon Price: $37.42 Customer Review: The author did in an excellent job in presenting a variety of issues. In my opinion though, her stronger suit is the historical aspect rather than some of later subjects she delves into in the text. It was refreshing to have a feminist critique, but this is more developed in the first part of the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Complete Guide to Zoning: How to Navigate the Complex and Expensive Maze of Zoning, Planning, Environmental, and Land-Use Law from McGraw-Hill Price: $10.97 Customer Review: The book really is a complete guide to zoning.

12.	[no image]	Our Ecological Footprint: Reducing Human Impact on the Earth (New Catalyst's Bioregional Series, No 9) from New Society Publishers Customer Review: The GNP is a downright stupid way to measure the economic activity of a society, since the GNP really measures the destruction of nature. A tree is worth 0 USD until it is cut and sold as wood. A whale is worth 0 USD until it is caught and cut to pieces. What capitalism leaves behind is a total... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The Global Commons: An Introduction from Island Press Price: $45.46 Customer Review: Susan Buck's book is a good overview of the conecptal framework associated with the growing awarness of The Global Commons.
