As a reference source, this book will help quantify the negative impacts on property values of high voltage overhead transmission lines, cell phone towers, and wind turbines. It gives a modern perspective of the concerns property owners have about the siting of industrial structures used to transmit or generate various forms of energy and how these concerns impact on property values. Studies reveal concerns the public have about devices and structures that emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs) due to their potential health hazards. 'Despite some research reports suggesting there are no potential adverse health hazards from high voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOTLs) and towers, there is still on-going concern about the siting of these structures due to fears of health risks from exposure to EMFs, changes in neighbourhood aesthetics and loss in property values. The siting of wind turbines is also receiving community opposition due to noise, light flicker, aesthetic concerns, and loss in property values. The extent to which such attitudes are reflected in lower property values is not well understood. Towers, Turbines and Transmission Lines: impacts on property value outlines results of studies conducted in the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand and offers guidance to valuers as well as to property/real estate appraisal students and property owners around the world. The book provides defensible tools that are becoming widely accepted to assess the effect that these environmental detriments have on property prices., From the Foreword by Dr Valmond Ghyoot, Emeritus Professor of Real Estate, University of South Africa : 'The valuation profession, the legal profession, property industry participants in general and students will welcome publication of this book. Investors, environmental groups and affected property owners will find essential information for use in their decision-making, development objections and claims. My hope is that [it] will provide answers where required and that it will help to improve the professional standard of valuations and appraisals internationally. I trust that it will also raise the standard of testimony in damages cases. If so, the editors and contributors will have succeeded in documenting the state of the art in this relatively unexplored terrain.'

The book provides defensible tools that are becoming widely accepted to assess the effect that these environmental detriments have on property prices., Studies show that there are concerns about devices and structures that emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs) due to potential health hazards from these. Proximity to structures that affect property value includes high voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOTL) and cellular phone towers. Despite some research reports suggesting there are no potential adverse health hazards from HVOTLs and towers, there is still ongoing concern about the siting of these structures due to fears of health risks from exposure to EMFs, changes in neighbourhood aesthetics and loss in property values. The siting of wind turbines is also receiving community opposition due to noise, light flicker, changes in neighbourhood aesthetics, and loss in property values. The extent to which such attitudes are reflected in lower property values affected by these structures is not well understood. Outlining results of studies conducted in the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand the book aims to provide guidance to valuers (as well as property/real estate appraisal students and property owners) around the world with defensible tools that are becoming widely accepted to assess the effect that these environmental detriments have on property prices. The authors have been undertaking research in this area for many years and believe that their experience and that of others who have contributed to this book will assist practitioners and their clients.

House Proud. As the real estate market continues to flounder, why not make the home you already own into your dream house?Woven textiles: Principles, developments and applications provides an essential overview of the manufacture, structure and application of these important textiles.At last, all the questions that have surrounded the case for almost fifty years are answered in this riveting narrative.The cutting-edge designs based on simplified form and technical innovations have become the new classics.In this stimulating book, urban design scholar Gideon Golany offers architects, designers, and planners both an indepth analysis of the fundamental issues of urban design and practical options for the design of the future city.It is therefore timely to consider what effect the availability of materials and the advice on offer has had on teachers' practice.Cognitive Interviewing: A Tool for Improving Questionnaire Design describes a means of systematically developing survey questions through investigations that intensively probe the thought processes of individuals who are presented with those inquiries.
