With more than 500 entries, from abandonment to zoning, these capsules go beyond merely providing definitions of housing topics: they describe, elaborate, and critically assess issues of relevance to a wide variety of readers. Appendixes that cover major federal legislation and list major organizations and journals accompany the entries'.--'Outstanding Reference Sources : the 1999 Selection of New Titles', American Libraries, May 1999.
