{"product_id":"wicked-valuations-michael-mcdermott-9781138584785","title":"Wicked Valuations: People and Landed Property","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional valuation approaches are increasingly recognised as being insufficient to address the wicked valuation problems of the diverse peoples and groups that inhabit the globe from north, south, east to west. This book demonstrates the limitations of science and, in particular economics, as the foundation on which valuations are traditionally based. It demonstrates the importance of and provides justification for the personal, cultural values and norms which underpin our assessment of \"value\", and the fact that these vary across the world. In \u003ci\u003eWicked Valuations\u003c\/i\u003e Michael McDermott develops a means of engaging with highly complex valuation problems. His autoethnography provides a lens to draw on knowledge and experience from his 40 years in land valuation in Africa and the Asia-Pacific, while documentary analysis is used to draw in the views of other valuation practitioners and scholars who are becoming increasingly aware of the need to develop ways to adapt land valuation processes to the complexity of our contemporary landscapes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael McDermott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138584789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138584785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Michael McDermott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48742512197887,"sku":"9781138584785","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wicked-valuations-michael-mcdermott-9781138584785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
