Standard reference for land development practice in the United States, covering the full project lifecycle from site feasibility and preliminary engineering through permitting, grading design, and construction administration. The book is most useful as a step-by-step orientation to the regulatory and technical sequence that every site development project must navigate — a useful frame for understanding why CO₂ terminal and hub development faces lead times measured in years rather than months, and why early-stage feasibility work needs to engage planning, environmental, and infrastructure constraints in parallel rather than sequentially.
