Book Description
From Library Journal
Abbott, a real estate specialist who heads his own consultant firm, presents a well-documented guide to the meaning, use, and significance of over 8000 real estate words and phrases. Definitions are generally longer than in other
sources, e.g., Jae K. Shim's Dictionary of Real Estate (Wiley, 1995), and range in length from short phrases to, for example, three pages of specialized definitions for the term "easement." Typical definitions may include synonyms, See Also and cross
references, citations to sources, corresponding terms used in other countries, and the bolding of words defined elsewhere. Definitions may also demonstrate the term's evolution and current usage, clarifying similarities and differences in how terms are
used in different jurisdictions. The work reflects predominantly North American usage but considers material from France and Commonwealth countries, particularly for legal cases emanating from English common law. Also included are a user's guide and
several useful appendixes, e.g., listings of organizations and professional associations and an extensive bibliography divided by country, and there are some reproductions and extracts from various legal codes and authoritative texts. Given its
wide-ranging coverage, this work will find application in such fields as economics, insurance, taxation, and urban planning in addition to real estate management, and it will be of reference value to students, faculty, and specialists. For academic and
large public libraries.DStanley P. Hodge, Ball State Univ., Muncie, IN
