Where were we in 1960, where have we come in the years since, how did we get here, and where are we going? These questions guided the 22 speakers in a 2003-04 public lecture series presented by the USM Muskie School that examined Maine’s changing economic, political, and social landscape. This book is a collection of essays that expand upon those talks and explore significant changes in Maine, important policy alternatives, and the prospects for the decade ahead. They aspire to challenge conventional thinking, offer a new understanding of Maine and its place in the world today, and to guide civic life and dialogue in the years ahead. Here’s a chance to hear directly from Maine’s leading policy experts.

Notice:
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
A number of reviewers and readers have noted with disappointment the absence of an index to the content of Changing Maine, 1960-2010.
I am happy to report that with the continuing support of the Maine Humanities Council, a robust Index of fully 25 pages has now been created and is available electronically at
http://efc.muskie.usm.maine.edu/docs/Changing_Maine_Index.pdf
The index was created by Margery Niblock of Portland, whom I commend to you most highly; Margery may be reached at mniblock@maine.rr.com.
With very best regards, Dick
