N2  - "Although some of the chapters which follow originated in lectures, as may well be apparent, there is little attempt in this work either to fashion novel analytical techniques or to expound precepts for handling particular problems of planning policy (for which the writer would have been insufficiently equipped). For this reason some may regard it as falling between stools and failing to cater for what is professionally esteemed as being of of intellectual interest and of moment."
