First Published in 1990. The practical nature of service charges and their interrelationship with accounting and landlord and tenant law renders the topic a particularly difficult one to be taught on undergraduate courses. Michael Young has however produced a readable and logically ordered monograph on the subject, which should enable those in other disciplines to understand the various aspects of service charges and those for whom it is their own discipline to have an accessible source of reference.

This collection of essays by the author is a sample of the wide range of his writings which, according to Daniel Bell, are "illustrations of the relationship of social research to social practice, of ideas to policy, and of policy to social planning) planning not dictated by social technologists, but planning responsive to the diverse natures of human society and the efforts to achieve a more rational coordination of the interconnections and interdependencies of these communities." This volume was first published by Abt Books in 1983.
