This personal account of the experience of an ordinary person-thrust into the public arena by circumstances beyond his control-exposes political conflict at the community level as the basis of self-government. What the author learned as he grew into the role of public citizen is vital to the restoration of our republic. Set in 1990s Puget Sound between Seattle and the Canadian border, Blind Spots is the story of how industrial-backed terrorism-using racial and religious divisions-undermined elections and stifled societal debate. How a handful of people responded to this travesty and reclaimed the public realm, illustrates the effectiveness of the public health model in containing the disease of aggression. As they came to understand the New Right strategy of fear, hate and revenge, they also realized the power of moral sanction. As more Americans awake to the disaster that currently befalls our republic, they will need reassurance and guidance in setting things right. Blind Spots will give them the courage to exercise their duties.
Privately owned forests provide many public benefits, including clean water and air, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. By 2030, 44.2 million acres of rural private forest land across the conterminous United States are projected to experience substantial increases in residential development. As housing density increases, the public benefits provided by private forests can be permanently altered. We examine factors behind projected patterns of residential development and conversion of private forest land by 2030 in northwestern Washington, southern Maine, and northwestern Georgia. Some key factors affecting the extent of future residential housing include (1) population growth from migration into an area; (2) historical settlement patterns, topography, and land ownership; and (3) land use planning and zoning.
