Good Intro to Most Aspects of Land Use Law

The book appears to cover all of the topics in land use law (in the US) from historical overview to recent cases on environmental topics. The text would be easier to read if the font used for the cases was different (or different size) from the discussion/notes provided by the authors. Sometimes the authors' opinions seem to blur with the opinions/commentary of the cases, especially when trying to read pages and pages fast and late at night.

The definitive text on zoning and land use.

I give the book a 9 out of 10 only because it needs updating. The fields of zoning and land use change daliy. In the four years which I have used this book in graduate courses in land use law, many new issues arisen and new cases have been decided. However, the book is still the best single volume on the topic and should be required reading for all zoning and land use professsionals.
