How a woman-led citizens' group beat a Southern political machine by enlisting federal bureaucrats and judges to protect their neighborhood from unchecked economic development This social history of local political activism tells the story of the decades-long fight to save Green Springs, Virginia, illuminating the economic tradeoffs of protecting the environment, the origins of NIMBYism, the changing nature of local control, and the surprising power of history to advance public policy. Rae Ely faced long odds when she launched a campaign in 1970 to stop a prison, then a strip mine, in Green Springs. The local political machine supported both projects, promising jobs for impoverished Louisa County, Virginia. But Ely and her allies prevailed by repurposing the same tactics used by the Civil Rights movement-the appeal to federal agencies and courts to circumvent local control-and by using new historical interpretations to create the first rural National Historic Landmark District. The Green Springs protesters fought to preserve the historic character of their neighborhood and the surrounding environment in a quest that epitomized the conflict in late twentieth-century America between unbridled economic development for all and protecting the quality of life for an economically privileged few. Ely's tactics are now used by neighborhood groups across the nation, even if they have been applied in ways she never intended: to resist any form of development.

Dynamiques d'artificialisation, arbitrages sur l'usage des sols, pratiques de conservation ou d'appropriation, etc. A la ville comme à la campagne, les terres sont au cœur de conflits majeurs, qui témoignent de la difficulté que nous avons à les partager et à les protéger. Des sols en bonne santé et des terres aux usages diversifiés constituent pourtant une ressource pour les sociétés, aussi bien pour l'alimentation que pour l'adaptation au réchauffement climatique, alors que leur dégradation sous l'effet des changements globaux représente des risques majeurs, en termes d'érosion, de pollutions ou d'inégalités sociales. Cet ouvrage réunissant six géographes et un géophysicien rend compte, à travers des études de terrain, des enjeux politiques, sociaux, économiques et environnementaux qui leur sont liés.

The architect Andrea Palladio was a draughtsman and a designer, a mason and an engineer, an innovator and an image maker. His growing importance from the 16th century onwards was based on his profound expertise in architectural issues that went beyond singular tasks and situations, and beyond his particular moment in history. His way of thinking and solving architectural problems proved invaluable for centuries to come. The contributions to this volume reflect on Palladio's method(s) beyond historism and style, and thus provide insights into design and building in our time.
