Land Mines

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Carolyn James` life looked great--new job teaching writing at a law school, 11 year marriage to a doctor, mother of a preteen son and daughter, living in a McMansion in suburban Boston. But she is thrown onto the land mines of separation, divorce and dating again when her husband leaves her for his yoga instructor, taking most of their money, stability, and what`s left of her self-esteem. For the next three years, Carolyn keeps a divorce journal to cope and rebuild. From optimism to fear, and humor to sadness, Carolyn writes about her experiences with separation, divorce, and, eventually, dating again. The novel takes the reader into Carolyn`s journal as she turns to self-reflection, self-help books, and the grace of God to navigate the ever-exploding land mines and get herself and her children safely through to the other side. The novel is in the form of Carolyn`s journal, which she keeps to make sense of the changes confronting her. Besides working out her issues as she writes them… [detailed...]

Land Policies for Growth and Poverty Reduction (World Bank Policy Research Report)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionLand is a key component of the wealth of any nation. Well-defined, secure, and transferable rights to land are crucial to development efforts. In developing countries, most land is used for agricultural production, a mainstay of economic sustenance. The possession of land rights also allows people to turn latent assets into live capital through entrepreneurial activity. Moreover, the use of land as a primary investment vehicle allows households to accumulate and transfer wealth between generations. The ability to use land rights as collateral for credit helps create a stronger investment climate, and land rights are thus a pre-condition for the emergence and operation of financial markets. This book considers the historical, conceptual, and legal contexts of property rights to land and land transactions and explores the scope and role of governments and land policy formation. Researchers have often neglected the profound impact of land policies on countries`… [detailed...]

Land Settlement in Early Tasmania: Creating an Antipodean England (Studies in Australian History)

Publisher: —
Description: Although this book concentrates on land settlement in Tasmania, such a focus encompasses a wide range of historical themes relevant to Australia`s colonial history and prompts comparisons with other ex-colonial countries and frontier societies. Land status determined many other factors, so Land Settlement in Early Tasmania is able to investigate how white settlement affected the native Tasmanians and how they retaliated, as well as the early history of land alienation and environmental degradation in VanDieman`s Land, the island`s social relations and the growth of primary industry from 1803-1830. Moreover, the book illustrates the way in which the early settlers often quite farcically attempted to recreate the English world that they left behind. [detailed...]

Land Use in America

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the past two decades, great strides have been made on a wide variety of environmental fronts. Air and water quality have improved significantly, certain endangered species are on the road to recovery, and there is a marked increase in environmental awareness among the general population. Yet at the same time, little has changed in our approach toward how land is used. Henry L. Diamond and Patrick F. Noonan, two preeminent figures in the modern conservation movement, examine that unfortunate circumstance as they provide a broad overview of major land use issues of the past twenty-five years and a ten-point agenda for future action. They look at key trends and patterns of the past two decades, and consider what can be done to help communities throughout the country accomodate growth in better, more environmentally sound, more fiscally responsible ways. Diamond and Noonan base the synthesis and analysis featured in the first part of the book in large part on a series of… [detailed...]

Land and Forest Economics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This text provides a comprehensive introduction to the important issues of land use and forest economics. The authors employ economic tools to study the allocation of land among alternative activities such as agriculture, grazing and forestry which impact upon the landscape. The book begins by explaining general economic concepts of well-being, welfare measurement and economic rents before providing a synopsis of various environmental economic issues including non-market valuation, cost-benefit analysis and sustainable development. The authors then move on to address several critical topics relating to land use, the conservation of nature and the protection of agricultural land. These include an analysis of agricultural land use from the perspectiveof urban expansion and the interface between crop production and nature. They also discuss the economics of public lands, range and ranching, forestry, and global climate change in a comprehensive fashion. Throughout the book, the… [detailed...]

Land and Freedom: Rural Society, Popular Protest, and Party Politics in Antebellum New York

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: During the early nineteenth-century, two million acres of New York`s farmland were controlled by a handful of great families. Along the Hudson Valley and across the Catskills lay the great estates of the Van Rensselaers, the Livingstons, and a dozen lesser landlords. Some two hundred and sixty thousand men, women, and children-a twelfth of the population of New York, the nation`s most populous state-worked this land as tenants. Beginning in 1839, these tenants created a movement dedicated to destroying the estates and distributing the land to those who farmed it. The `anti-rent` movement quickly became one of the most powerful and influential movements of the antebellum era. The anti-renters raised issues that lay at the heart of America`s republican experiment: the distribution of land, the nature of democracy, and the meaning of freedom. In doing so, they left an indelible mark on politics and public ideals in both New York and the nation. They influenced and bitterly divided both… [detailed...]

Land and Schooling : Transferring Wealth across Generations (International Food Policy Research Institute (Series).)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In rural societies, passing down land and providing an education are the main ways parents assure the future welfare of their children. If, however, parents educate their sons and not their daughters and only sons inherit land, women will be worse off compared to men. Is the distribution of income and welfare between men and women changing? While many studies have documented that education of women is increasing in developing countries, evidence on changes in women`s land rights is scarce. Knowing how men and women acquire land and human capital is the basis for determining the extent of this gender problem and how to solve it. The authors of this book identify the factors affecting land inheritance and schooling across generations in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Ghana -- countries with very different social and cultural traditions. Based on household surveys at each site, the authors examine how these factors affect the distribution of income and spending… [detailed...]
