Land Development Handbook

Needed this textbook for one of my classes and when I first got it, I bemoaned over how heavy it was. However, it's really easy to read and has a lot of great information. I'm not planning on going into land development but this really explained everything from feasibility/programming to site analysis to conceptual design to entitlements and permitting, etc. Very great resource!

It is a great reference but you cannot use a kindle during the exam. I never opened it during my CE271 course in MSU but it was helpful to answer on question on the final

I got this book because my doctor want me to do so. this is my first time to buy books in amazon. this book is neat and clean. like new. not used. but i pay the used price. so that i give it 5 stars!:)

30+ chapters written by separate people and edited by no one. Repetitive subject matter. Also insconsistent use of terms. There is good info in some areas, but buried in lots of other verbiage. Everything from very useful like remediating contminated soil to the extremely obvious such as have enough chairs in public meetings. For next edition, invest in an editor.

The land surveying program at OIT has really gone down hill in the last few years.

Buy this book if you are a general civil engineer, even if you do not practice land development, it includes a vast swath of useful information on a variety of projects and topics.

Great product, on time shipping.

This is a practical handbook for Civil Engineers who are interested in Land Development. In-depth technical aspects are also covered.

Provides in depth knowledge of the basic principles of land development. A bit wordy and less on the technical side, but overall a great book for anyone wanting to get into the development industry
