For old and new studies in decision making and risk analysis, this
book should stand at tlle watershed. Studies of conflict resolution
and public policy will surely now have to take account of the model
investigation provided by the IIASA team, and many things will not
be the same again. This is a report of inquiries into the siting of
liquefied energy gas (LEG) facilities in the Federal Republic of
Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United
States. The risks of transporting this highly combustible stuff,
and the economic benefits of being able to bring a natural energy
source from one side of the globe to the other, holding it, and
piping it out as needed, make LEG a model case for studying the
public response to dangerous technology. The dangers of LEG are
differ ent from those of nuclear power, for instance, where the
response too often becomes entangled with the fear of nuclear war.
The dangers of LEG include unco trollable explosions, rather than
insidious contami nation. But the degree of dangerousness is very
much of the same order as that of nuclear power, and is at least as
difficult to assess. In four different countries the constitutional
procedures involved in obtaining approval of nuclear or LEG
facilities are on record. The four case histories here are a model
for comparative study of conflict resolu tion. The period over
which the negotiations developed is much the same."
Danica believes her life is over when her parents divorce and she
is forced to move back to the town where her mother grew up. Then
Danica meets a girl named Jessie and a new town and school seem to
be the least of her problems. With home town secrets and questions
about who she truly is, her world will change forever.
