<p>Easements and related incorporeal rights to land have become more critical than ever as land development brings access to the forefront of many property disputes. This book represents a comprehensive study of the complexities that may arise when dealing with roads (both public and private), railways and utility easements. The author has researched many topics not previously addressed in other texts of this genre. Basic principles are clearly laid out in the 14-chapters of the book, but this text goes beyond the basics to provide specific information on overlooked and emerging issues. Wilson's book includes discussion of easements created by a vote of a governing body, along with rolling easements and blanket easements. In addition, the tricky issues generated in subdivisions by a "common scheme" are considered. I was particularly pleased to read the section on the creation of railroad rights of way and the specific examples of language that will determine the rights conveyed. (Kristopher M. Kline, <i>Reviewer & Author</i>, October 2013)</p>
