I like the emphasis on research as a creative process and integrated into the design process. This would fill a need in upper level undergraduate studio courses. -- Dana E Vaux, University of Nebraska Kearney I have required Research-Inspired Design by Lily B. Robinson and Alexandra T. Parman for the Senior Thesis course for the last 3 years but found I was only using specific chapters that fit the learning objectives for the undergraduate students. The proposed book is a better fit for the needs of our courses. I would be very likely to adopt this text. -- Jessica Etheredge, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga Clearly there is a need for a textbook that is geared toward undergrads who tend to require access to information in a different way from graduate students. I also like the idea of a simpler text as a building block for students who choose to go on to more advanced degrees. I agree with the analysis of the authors that the competing texts are not as comprehensive and support the need for a comprehensive text. -- Susan Hergenrather, Marymount University
