No Place Like Home: Building Sustainable Communities

Cover graphic(by Marcia Nozick, 1992, 237 pp., OUT OF PRINT)

Author Marcia Nozick challenges the conventional economic wisdom that puts "efficiency" ahead of human needs in this thought-provoking book. In critical yet easily accessible language, she proposes a five-point plan to return communities to sustainable economic development: economic self-reliance, ecological development, gaining community control over resources, building a community culture, and meeting individual needs. A must-read for community workers, researchers, urban planners and students.
