Negative Positive
Title: Poorly written and not very comprehensive - stay away from this one
Review: Richard Klosterman's Community Analysis and Planning Techniques is a poor example of how Professional Planners conduct analysis. Besides being overly wordy and perhaps never to the point, this book depicts quanitative analysis backwards. The combination of Statistical methods, Data processing, Urban economics gets lost in translation and is dated. Stay away from this book unless you are a helpless victim to being taught by Prof. Klosterman - I would imagine this is required material for his classes; and if that is the reason why you need to purchase this book, I feel sorry for you.
