Profits And Politics In Paradise by Michael N. Danielson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In the 1950s, Charles Fraser invented the modern American resort and retirement community with his developments at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Danielson (urban development, Princeton U.) explores the interplay of private power and public authority and the dilemma of growth in America's recreation-based communities, using Hilton Head as a case study. He submits that resorts such as Hilton Head face a predicament when expansion alters the attributes that attracted vacationers in the first place.
