Recenzje

'This book of insightful and carefully crafted essays presents numerous breakthroughs in contextualizing the seminal decision in Kelo v. City of New London and other recent developments in the law of eminent domain. By examining the decision from diverse historical, theoretical and comparative law perspectives, this book will become essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why eminent domain has become such a hotly contested legal, political and social battleground in the United States at the beginning of the 21st century.' John A. Lovett, Loyola University, USA 'With eminent domain law as the focal lens, this volume of essays provides great clarity of vision into the often blurred lines between private property and public uses. It invites us to see the manifold hues in the colorful overlay of legal doctrines, public policies and natural rights.' Frank S. Alexander, Emory University, USA '...a comprehensive, authoritative review of current research addressing the role of heritage in identity formation...Recommended.' Choice 'Private Property, Community Development and Eminent Domain contains a thorough, scholarly discussion of the major issues raised by the Kelo case. It would be a worthwhile addition to any law school library.' Legal Information ALERT 'This book presents a series of interesting analyses of issues...anyone working on scholarship on takings and economic development, KELO, or related topics will want to consult it.'
