"This is a valuable contribution to the land use literature. It is both readable and, for its size, remarkably comprehensive. It delves into complex issues with both detail and clarity. I particularly liked the 'Practitioner Perspectives' section at the end of each chapter, in which the authors pulled together all of the legal precepts they had just finished discussing and put it into a perspective that should be useful to lawyers trying to adjust to the mysteries of this difficult field."
