Description
Like a great municipal development project, Making a Mark is a book that delivers on multiple fronts-part memoir full of interesting stories and people, part field guide to public-oriented community development, and all compelling read.
Author Mark Tigan writes about his life growing up with dyslexia and a propensity for risky adventures and "greaser" activities in the rural Midwest, to his college days surfing, hitchhiking and planning 'call to action' activist demonstrations such as a car burial, to his renowned career in public development and city planning, which includes no shortage of "Robin Hooding" and projects noted by the media, such as the Winooski (Vermont) Dome proposal. Across it all, Mark was left with lessons to impart, and he shares those now with readers.
Whether you're looking to be entertained, to deepen your knowledge of community development, or to learn about a path on which you can help society, Making a Mark has a story to offer.
