Land Use Control in the United States - A Handbook on the Legal Rights of Citizens

This book sets out for citizens what means exist now for controlling or influencing the use of land. It explains laws and programs affecting land use which have been established at all levels of government. Each chapter includes a section or sections on "citizen action" which discuss how citizens can participate in the implementation and enforcement of the law. If the monumental problems of land abuse are to be squarely confronted and effective solutions sought, this kind of public involvement in governmental decision making is absolutely essential.
