Take Back the Sky: Protecting Communities in the Path of Aviation Expansion,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this timely book, author Rae Andr alerts us to one of the most insidious threats to the health and wellbeing of many Americans: the environmental impacts of aviation. Written from her experience as an activist and a flightpath dweller, Take Back the Sky dramatizes the extent of this growing problem in case studies around the country where communities have fought (and usually lost) battles against airport expansion. More alarmingly, it details how communities have lost virtually all control over their local skies, with that power having been usurped by special interests and an unresponsive federal government.When Andr bought a charming bungalow in a Boston suburb, the small nearby airport handled only private and charter aircraft and a few military flights. Soon after, it began to accept commercial flightsand the quality of life for Andr and her neighbors plummeted. As she explains, aviationrelated pollution from noise, emissions, and chemicals leaching into water tables is among the leastknownand leastregulatedhazards Americans face. Andr plunged into research, organizing, and protest, discovering not only the ugly facts about aviationrelated pollution but the extent to which unbridled commercial interests have infiltrated our government and our lives.Andr makes a powerful case that citizen action is crucial at this time, when plans are afoot to transform hundreds of small airports into busy commercial jetports. But how can we make the aviation industry more environmentally responsible? How can citizens and communities take back the power to determine their own fates? In Take Back the Sky, Andr provides the tools we need to answer these critical questions.
