Review
"A really useful book for practicing planners and planning students....provides a comprehensive background
to the concepts underlying forecasting methods in the population and economic fields and critically assesses their
strengths and weaknesses."
--Ian Masser, Sheffield University
"Written so that one can work through it with or without classroom guidance and come away with a solid background
in the mechanics, and some of the subtleties, of the methods. It will make learning, reviewing, and teaching important
techniques a much more manageable task."
--Journal of the American Planning Association
"What Klosterman has done is to write a book which assumes the reader to have only rudimentary mathematical
skill but which develops this skill to a level where it is of practical usefulness. This book is thus uniquely
tailored to the needs of planning students and deserves to become a standard text."
--Michael Batty, University of Wales
"Lends itself very well to use in a graduate or an advanced undergraduate planning methods course"
