""The many contributions are structured via the nine essential commons, though I found myself drawn to the shorter quotes that populate the back of the book. These smaller ""bites,"" or ""storylines"" as the editors call them, are categorized into the same commons, and are included because they confront the same themes explored at greater length elsewhere in the book. Some of these storylines, such as Richard Ingersoll's ""How to Enjoy Climate Change,"" jump beyond the page via QR codes."" --A Daily Dose of Architecture
