English Regional Planning 2000-2010 chronicles a vital feature of recent UK planning activity; during the period of the Blair and Brown Labour governments up to 2010. It deals particularly with the regional scale of planning during these years; whereby large steps forward were made; but where policy making often proved very controversial. One purpose of the book is to learn from the many areas of policy development; method and skills which evolved during the decade up to 2010. This will mean that a future return to strategic planning should not have to reinvent the wheel. This book also helps to inform such planning in the rest of the developed world where higher-level planning is more prevalent. The book has eight chapters written by experts active in English regional planning during these years; alongside two chapters by the editors introducing and concluding on the experience as a whole. Thematic topics covered include the way in which housing and employment development was tackled in the varying English regional contexts; and the growing influence of transport and environmental factors on the spatial strategy. Process elements covered include how policy was made through public consultation and working with numerous stakeholders (economic; social; environmental); how the public examination of issues was organised; followed by final consideration by central government; and how monitoring informed the next policy review. The authors do not gloss over the difficulties encountered in the highly contested world of English local and regional politics; or the ways in which central government management of the regional planning process made life on the ground difficult for those engaged in the process. Nevertheless the account as a whole shows how a wealth of innovative and forward looking practices were developed. This multi-faceted study contributes to the understanding of how strategic planning can provide the framework for guiding spatial change and allocating resources; looking to a long-term sustainable future.

Still The Greatest. IndeedBy Mark R. BrewerIf you are a Beatles fan. or more importantly. a fan of the solo Beatles music. then you are sure to enjoy this excellent. well-written book that examines more than 160 of their best solo tunes. from 1969-2012. The author. Andrew Grant Jackson. breaks the best songs up by year and creates "albums" that the boys might have released had they not broken up. I must confess that I have done this myself. even creating CDs of such "albums." Jackson then examines each song. giving details such as when and where they were recorded. and who played on them and what instruments they played. He also provides anecdotes and details about the songs and demonstrates how many of them are biographical. reflecting the ex-Beatles emotional status at the time. Much has been written about the Beatles songs. but their solo songs have been somewhat overlooked. This is unfair. as the lads (I guess they were no longer lads) produced some great music and had twenty number 1 hits as solo artists. I found the book to be highly informative and enjoyable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting concept results in the usual head-scratching listsBy Paul CoolJacksons concept. assessing the Beatles solo work. not simply on basis of the songs own merits. but as likely tracks on post 1970 Beatles LPs (assuming they had patched up differences enough to continue recording together. or at least to continue contributing songs to group albums). is an intriguing one. and one that generally works. The selections themselves run the expected gamut from the obvious. to the authors idiosyncratic choices. to the WTH was he thinking? A different mix than any one reader would create. but with the same overall result of track listings not completely shared by anyone else on the planet. Youll find your own assessments both buttressed and challenged. Recommended for fans of The Beatles music. whether youre familiar with the solo output or new to it.
