Land use in Hawai'i remains the most regulated of all the fifty states. According to many sources, the process of going from raw land to the completion of a project may well average ten years given that ninety-five percent of raw land is initially classified by the State Land Use Commission as either conservation or agriculture. How did this happen and to what end? Will it continue? What laws and regulations control the use of land? Is the use of land in Hawai'i a right or a privilege?These questions and others are addressed in this long-overdue second edition of Regulating Paradise, a comprehensive and accessible text that will guide readers through the many layers of laws, plans, and regulations that often determine how land is used in Hawai'i. It provides the tools to analyze an enormously complex process, one that frustrates public and private sectors alike, and will serve as an essential reference for students, planners, regulators, lawyers, land use professionals, environmental and cultural organizations, and others involved with land use and planning.

Les voyages les plus étonnants ne sont pas toujours les plus lointains. Visiter Sainte Eulalie en compagnie de Martin de la Soudière est une expérience insolite et poétique. Attentif aux paysages et aux usages, l’ethnologue se fait en même temps chroniqueur des histoires de lieux et des histoires de vies. Celles des grandes heures et des grandes peurs d’hier, dans la forêt du Mont Mouchet, où l’ultime refuge d’un groupe de maquisards pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale côtoie l’endroit où fut tuée, deux siècles auparavant, la bête du Gévaudan. Et celles des territoires et personnages d’aujourd’hui ; un couple étrange dans une ferme isolée, la figure marginale, attachante et familière d’un journalier sans famille ni passé, du moins jusqu’à ce que l’auteur ne s’en mêle, l’univers chaleureux d’Emma, ses pensionnaires, ses livres, ses grandes tablées et ses récits. Au rythme des saisons, au détour d’une route, au gré des rencontres et des conversations, Martin de la Soudière nous fait partager avec bonheur ses curiosités, sa géographie rêveuse et son goût, qui remonte à l’enfance, pour le charme secret des contrées modestes qui ne sont pas des coins perdus. Chemin faisant, il réfléchit à la façon dont, ici à Sainte Eulalie comme en n’importe quel bout du monde, un lieu prend forme.
