Planning in the USA: Policies, Issues, and Processes

This is not a cursury review of the subject, nor does it drag on monotonously. This is a solid textbook for an individual desiring to learn about the planning profession and process in the U.S.A.

I got this book for a class, and I have to say this book is vague and confusingly written as an introduction to the material. It seems to go on random tangents and bring in topics without enough background to find them useful. It's a long book, and it covers a lot of good material, but you have to wade through a lot of only fair to middling coverage to get there

Just a texbook

Arrived much earlier than expected, quality is good enough for class

it's a good book. great quality!

I have problems finding the pages assigned by the professor. she tells the students to read from # page to # page. but this ebook does not have page numbers.i try it for a few days and now i want to return it.

makes class more easier by using this book =)

There is useful information here but it’s poorly organized. The author either confuses you or boreds you to death before getting to the most critical information. I find myself re-reading because of odd or long sentences. I suggest foot notes for additional comments. The language is ackward and not very accessible. The language should be simple, the definitions clear, followed by compact historical and political context followed by impacts/effects (negative and positive). If these parts are clearly organized then reading would be much smoother. It would also be easier to review.
