 No complaints
No complaints. Got what I expected. It's so much cheaper to order my books online than buy them in the campus bookstore...
 Poorly written and not very comprehensive - stay away from this one
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.
 Great Resource For Projecting Population And Economy
This is a one-stop-shop how-to for projecting population and employment figures, as well as developing location quotients. This is a great resource for city planners and those interested in detailed location analysis. It explains how population and employment projections are made as well as what methods are appropriate and when they should be used, so as not to misrepresent data. Though some of the text itself may be a bit technical from time to time, the mathematics are sound and chart examples are very easy to understand. The population projections, cohort population projections, and employment projection techniques were very easy recreate on spreadsheets with own data. This is a useful reference for any planning office.
On a Different Wave Length
This publication is much more technical than I anticipated. I was expecting that the book would have more examples of ways to evaluate community needs and to generate participatory planning.
