The section “Books of interest” of the Online Information Bulletin of the Planning Studies Centre will include the abstracts of those books of possible and specific interest for the scholar of “Planning Sciences” (or Planology) that have been selected and received by the Centre. For some books, according to the staff's assessment, the abstracts will be complemented by a Review.
The classification of the abstracts of the books presented follows approximately the two first digits of the Planology Code established by the Planning Sciences Information System (PSIS) of the PSC.
Some of the books here registered are not very recent publications, even if they are all still in trade. The registration has followed the scientific considerations of the staff of the Planning Studies Centre, and if some books – normally all received by request of the PSC – have been assessed to be of particular interest by the staff, the criterion of noting only very recently published books has not been rigidly applied.
These bibliographic references express the scope of the PSC in all its limits, especially from the information point of view. The staff solicits other collaborators of the PSC and readers of the Bulletin to let them know about new books which deserve to be announced and possibly reviewed in this Bulletin.
