"...this is a book designers ought to read, not least because it is a role model of how they could advocate theories in everyday prose that deals both clearly and rigorously with difficult philosophical and design issues." - Times Higher Education
"[Overlooking the Visual] is ahead of the curve in the current task of reconnecting theory to application, positioning design knowledge as embodied, accessible, and reproducible." – Philip Plowright, Lawrence Technological University
"The book fills a gap in the literature whereby it makes a very important point from the perspective of landscape. My students so far have mostly all agreed with your argument, and actually found little to quarrel with..." –Gareth Doherty, Harvard University Graduate School of Design
