  North Carolina has been battered by six hurricanes in the past four years, culminating in the devastation resulting from Hurricane Floyd. In response to the havoc wreaked, experts have been reevaluating environmental policies and practices, as well as their impact on affected individuals. This collection of essays provides a wide range of perspectives on the environmental, social, and psychological dimensions of living in Hurricane Alley. Readers will hear from politicians, environmentalists, journalists, psychologists, educators, community members, scientists, and regional planners. The contributors' objective is to educate readers, and to encourage activism, discourage complacency, and be a positive force for change. | Part I: Hurricanes |
