The Shorter Encyclopedia of Real Estate Terms defines and explains over 7,500 terms, supplemented by more than 1,000 citations (cases, statutes and other authorities), 20,000 cross references, and over 400 bibliographical references. It covers every aspect of real estate (law, economics, finance, insurance, investment, taxation, urban planning, appraisal, and management). Whilst its primary focus is terminology drawn from English and American real estate practice, it also contains Australian, Canadian, New Zealand terms, as well as Scots and Civil Law and Latin terms. The Appendices also contain information on over 80 real estate associations (including web addresses), a comprehensive table of measurements, the major real estate investment formulae, and a list of abbreviations and acronyms. The Encyclopedia is priced at £35. The author, Damien Abbott, has amazingly accumulated experience in 20 countries spread over four continents since his graduation from the University of London in 1966.

I believe this publication will serve as a useful guide for property professionals.
