Insight Into Some of the Greatest Minds in the Profession
I am a senior in Landscape Architecture and we have read several of the sections of this book in my design theory class before I decided to purchase. Excellent writing and theory, but as the previous reviewer said, It deal with complex issues and is not a light read. Must buy for any design professional or student.

Good primer
Don't try to read in one sitting. It is a little deep for those of us who didn't major in philosophy or literature.
