I’m currently skimming through a copy of Land Administration for Sustainable Development from ESRI Press. An interesting title, packed with a wealth of information on the past, present, and future practice of land administration for government. An good late night read for yours truly – did you know I did a major in Urban Geography at U. Vic?? Of particular interest in the book I think are sections devoted to topic specific areas like marine administration, a comprehensive look at the importance of the spatial data infrastructure (SDI), and sections that take a closer look at project administration and the administrators toolbox (the section on good governance and the tabular listing of 10 principles of Land administration is very interesting as are the sections on historical processes and land tenure and admin) . The book is an ideal complement to the bookshelf of anyone interested in or involved with economic development and in particular, environment resource management and social equality (also indigenous people’s rights). The book will be available shortly from ESRI Press – See more
