This collection of theoretical and applied concepts, technical descriptions, definitions and terms is intended for students of real estate. As a broad field dealing with the use, management and development of land, real estate makes use of established and relevant knowledge from many sources, including academic specialisms and cognate professions. Essentially, these terminologies pertain to what may be done on land; to land; and with land, including how and why. In effect, they are reflective of the status of land as a key resource which impacts all segments of society. This study and reference book aids learning by assembling fundamental and varied material from diverse sources. In addition, the provision of section-by-section directions for further reading facilitates learning by students in their preparation for a career in land, property and valuation.
