A writer in search of his roots discovers stories of African
American struggle, sacrifice, and achievement. In The Garretts of
Columbia, author David Nicholson tells a multigenerational story of
Black hope and resilience. Carefully researched and beautifully
written, The Garretts of Columbia engages readers with stories of a
family whose members believed in the possibility of America.
Nicholson relates the sacrifices, defeats, and affirming victories
of a cohort of stalwart men and women who embraced education,
fought for their country, and asserted their dignity in the face of
a society that denied their humanity and discounted their
abilities. The letters of Anna Maria "Mama" Threewitts Garrett,
along with other archival sources and family stories passed down
through generations, provided the framework that allowed Nicholson
to trace his family's deep history, and with it a story about Black
life in segregated Columbia, SC, from the years after the Civil War
to World War II.

One of a series of texts on environmental planning for use in
undergraduate and postgraduate planning courses, and for those
involved in all aspects of the planning process, "Local Planning in
Practice" is a comprehensive review of local planning practice
which argues that local planning must be seen as the management of
environmental change rather than simply the production of land-use
plans and the control of development. It is a core text for
students of town planning, surveyors, engineers and architects, and
for anyone who has anything to do with the built environment. This
overview of local planning practice is completely up to date. It
examines the considerable developments in legislation and central
government advice since 1981, research findings since this date,
and developments in the practice of planning. This book is intended
for students of town and country planning.
