Loved it. I almost had to be resuscitated - Grotton Revisited will immediately become the standard text on Planning Practice in every planning school in the UK and far beyond. The fact that it will cause every planning student in the land to abandon their courses, for alternative vocations in investment banking or alternative therapies, is unfortunate. But since the book will become a runaway comic bestseller, with TV and film versions to follow, students should secure a good resale value for their copies -- and the entire nation, even the newly-redundant academics, will laugh itself into a collective coma. - Professor Sir Peter Hall, Bartlett Professor of Planning and Regeneration, University College London, UK The funny thing is, it's no joke. - Michael Hebbert, University of Manchester, UK
