The Land We Share

Discussion of a core feature of American life--private ownership of land, water, and other elements of nature. What rights do private owners really possess, and what responsibilities might society reasonably impose on them? Argues that property ownership is an evolving legal arrangement, tied to shifting beliefs about community interest. [book cover].
