BELAU

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
BELAU The PROMISED LAND is about Douglas Faulkner's efforts to save Belau from imminent destruction. Its islands and reefs are too fragile to be subjected to big development projects; projects that care little for beauty.

About the Author

Douglas Faulkner decided to publish BELAU The Promised Land because he did not want his ideas about massive development versus the environment to lie buried in the files of the United Nations. His last petition before the United Nations Trusteeship Council was presented in 1987, and the world and Belau which is a small part of that world still faces destruction. He believes that only if mankind sees that it is to its own best interest not to destroy the beauty of the planet, will the planet and mankind survive.
