Introduction of "The Lebanese Coast"- 2003
This book of photographs is unique in that it pictures the Lebanese coastal zone from the sea. What we have been used to in similar books was to look from land to sea; here we are looking from sea to land. This turning of the picture outside in is extremely significant since it provides for viewing the coast not only aesthetically but also environmentally, making many beauties stand out in a new perspective. | | more... | |

| | A Plan for Environmental Recovery | |  | Najib Saab
Chapter in "Options for Lebanon" - 2004
It can be said without hesitation that the environmental crisis in Lebanon is rooted in the weaknesses inherent in the country’s prevailing political system. It is, unfortunately, a structure based on the distribution of profits among those in power, which encourages dealing with public resources not as a national common good, but rather as a milch cow to be shared among influential clan-chiefs, under the pretext of various religious, regional and provincial interests.
