The Future for Planners
Spatial planning is at a crossroads, with government reform undermining the traditional vision of state-employed planners making decisions about urban development in a unified public interest. Nearly half of UK planners are now employed in the private sector, with complex inter-relations between the sectors including supplying outsourced services to local authorities struggling with centrally-imposed budget cuts. Drawing on new empirical data from a major research project, ‘Working in the Public Interest’, this book reveals what it’s like to be a UK planner in the early 21st century, and how the profession can fulfil its potential for the benefit of society and the environment.

Moonshine and the Law
This book is about my various jobs from the young age of nine to sixty-four years old. The most important point is not how many jobs I have had, but how I got my jobs. Although I have had many jobs, I was never without work. One job seemed to flow into the next employment opportunity. The most amazing thing about all of my jobs is that I never filled out an application and had very few official interviews. I believe the Lord took me from one job to the other for over 55 years and He continues to guide me. And now my wish for each of my readers: May the Lord bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you and bring you peace. Happy Reading!
