Scenarios are the best way to learn! March 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Although this book uses/references the old AICP code of ethics, the situations detailed within its covers will always ring true for the practicing planner. Hopefully a new edition will be forthcoming with updated citations to the AICP code. Otherwise, excellent book, must read by practicing planners.

Should be a mandatory read for all planning students. September 16, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I found this book to be a great exercise in the study of ethics. I wonder, in fact, if the above reader has even seen the book. But I digress, the book itself reviews a number of real-world scenarios that eschew simple answers. Any reader working in planning or government in general will be able to quickly draw parallels to their own day-to-day issues. The book does a great job of detailing how one can approach work in an ethical manner, and helps readers take a step back and critically view their work and decisions on a regular basis. Some of the most helpful cases are the ones where there are no "right" answers; the author does an excellent job of helping to break the issue down, where possible, and make the choices that are the most appropriate, if not always the easiest.br /br /Given all the high profile legal cases surrounding ethics these days, it's a wonder books like these are not issued to planning students as they walk in the door. br /

Book fails to make any convincing points.
