"The document is a presentation of the land use and transportation plan for Madison County. Following the statement of assumptions, proposed goals and proposed policies, is an analysis of the projected development demand, the rationale upon which this plan was formulated. The projected development demand utilized the best available data regarding existing land use, existing and proposed transportation facilities, as well as evaluations of the extent and character of the provision of essential urban services. The resulting plan may be considered conventional in character, since it takes account of the broad range of existing financial commitments by both the public and private sectors. The plan presented is coordinated with the plan for St. Clair County. Part II of this document is a summation of the various survey and analysis elements which were utilized as data inputs for the total plan conception. The conclusions of these various elements are stated, while the detailed studies are published in separate documents. These documents are outlined in the appendix."--Preliminary page.

Archaeologists have long encountered evidence of natural disasters through excavation and stratigraphy. In Surviving Sudden Environmental Change, case studies examine how eight different past human communities—ranging from Arctic to equatorial regions, from tropical rainforests to desert interiors, and from deep prehistory to living memory—faced, and coped with, such dangers. Many disasters originate from a force of nature, such as an earthquake, cyclone, tsunami, volcanic eruption, drought, or flood. But that is only half of the story; decisions of people and their particular cultural lifeways are the rest. Sociocultural factors are essential in understanding risk, impact, resilience, reactions, and recoveries from massive sudden environmental changes. By using deep-time perspectives provided by interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides a rich temporal background to the human experience of environmental hazards and disasters. In addition, each chapter is followed by an abstract summarizing the important implications for today’s management practices and providing recommendations for policy makers.
