Reviews / Votes
"This book is a fantastic resource for foundation level design classes. I thought the text was incredibly well laid out and written. I know my students got a lot from the information, text, images and design." Daniel Graham, Georgetown College, USA. "This book is highly relevant and well designed ... this book would be an obvious choice for one of the introductory courses. The images are clear and easy to understand. The overall layout seems very well done." Debra Satterfield, Iowa State University, USA.More details
