Williams's legacy is dotted across the physical and political landscape of BC-from the Whistler Town Centre and Robson Square to the Agricultural Land Reserve, the Insurance Corporation of BC and many projects in between. A straight shooter who refuses to mince words, Williams advocates in this highly readable and colourful book for a bottom-up approach to politics and public policy, bypassing bureaucracy in order to use power well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46819955277982,"sku":"ADS-9780889714243","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780889714243.jpg?v=1778466899","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780889714243","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
