BOOK BIBLIOGRAPHY

The brief bibliograhy below serves only as a primer
to the many substantial issues
that surround the creation
of Whispering Dawn Communities. 

The list is purposefully incomplete.
Hopefully it can serve as a "pointer" to areas
for further dialogue during the consultative process
of community development and management.
