There are a few copies of the book by John Friedmann "Empowerment : The Politics of Alternative Development." (1992) available for borrowing through regular print checkout at the Hubbard Library in Pasadena and Books-by-Mail.

You can also request up to two chapter scans as outlined in the library guide for online users. See the table of contents attached for your convenience. 

You may need to purchase required course texts in print when a digital copy cannot be obtained by our library, as is the case with Empowerment. Book sales for the title are available from these vendors:
