This book deals with one of the current major debates in planning: how to measure the quality and effectiveness of the output of the planning process. It deals with issues of defining quality; public sector management; the use of indicators and the planning process. Although case study material is drawn from UK practice this topic is universal and the authors include discussions of international practice and experience.

Georgian Treasure TroveBy Carolyn HahnThis is a wonderful selection of engraved images from the popular culture of the 18th and very early 19th century. Reading between the lines; theres so much to pick up about the culture of the time: every alphabet for children has some version of "J is for JEW;" or "old Clothes man" (same thing--Jewish peddler with sack over shoulder; etc). The Gin craze makes its way through the images (drunks; male and female); the lives of children make their way through in occupations (children as young as 4 were sold by their parents to masters who shoved them naked up still hot chimneys--images of small sorry "sweeps" weave in with images of children playing hoops; skating on frozen ponds; teasing animals--animal cruelty being slightly more recognized than child labor as a problem). As these were the popular images of the time; every type of domestic interior can be found: one room cottage with Mother Hubbard and her dog; tavern; street scenes. So much crafty graphic possibility! This book lends itself so well to scanning; cropping and filling in a new color or two to make the image pop. So; so worth the $--one of the best Dover books ever.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Lovely illuystrations!By Vicki EmbreyGreat illustrations!
