Penguin Island in all its peculiar glory: this is the tale of the
enchanted island island where the nearsighted Abbot Mael baptised
penguins in error. These penguins ? posessed of Divine Grace by
dint of baptism ? are remarkably like and unlike men; they rule the
fictional land of Penguinia. (Jacketless library hardcover.)
What are the limits of land use planning and what are its
objectives? Is the aim aesthetic? Is it efficiency? Is it to ensure
quality? Or sustainability? And if it is all these aims, how should
they be balanced against each other?
This book addresses such questions through an analysis of the
economics of land use planning and the relationship between
economics and planning.
It draws together the economics literature relating to planning
and sets it out systematically. Over the past 20 years the economic
analysis of land use planning has used positive economics to
examine the unintended effects of planning and the way economic
forces have affected planning. Public choice theory also plays a
part in indicating the way planning has developed as the result of
political pressures. The impact of planning is now so great that a
full development is much needed.
The book sets out the economic justification for land use
planning as well as describing methods of assessing planning
proposals and controls. It then presents a thorough analysis of the
economic effects of the system and its 'political economy', looking
at why planning takes the form it does.
"Economics and Land use Planning" results from the 30 years of
research, teaching and debate by the author. He writes in a crisp
and clear style, simplifying the arguments without any loss of
academic rigour. This thorough but accessible analysis will be
valuable to students and researchers in real estate, land
management, planning and urban economics.

Anatole France (Jacques Anatole Frangois Thibault; 1844-1924.
Member of the Acadimie Frangaise. Awarded the Nobel Price for
Literature in 1921. Penguin Island (1908) has been called "the best
social satire ever written" (Toni Ungerer). The story takes place
in Antarctica, where a fictional penguin population mirrors the
foibles of human beings. With the devil's help, a missionary
arrives in Antartica and baptizes the local penguins. With God's
help, he then turns them into human beings. As a result, the
penguins must now try to figure out how to live together and create
a civilization. They experience their own barbaric Ancient Times
and Middle Ages, and in their efforts to create a modern age, they
undergo social conflicts and devastating wars. Written in the
spirit of rationalism and enlightenment, Penguin Island is a
wickedly funny, incisive portrait of religious fanatacism.
