This text contains many important writings on planning theory. However, the book contains so many errors that it becomes tedious to read and, in some cases, the meaning of the original writing is obscured completely. There is a piece written by John Forester that has a section from one paragraph mistakenly placed within another paragraph, causing that particular portion of Forester's work to make no sense. My recommendation would be to wait for a revised edition. I think it is shameful to publish a text with so many errors--especially when the text is often used in graduate-level courses, where students are often criticized for their own writing errors.
