Choice Review
Expanded from his doctoral dissertation at the University of California, Berkeley, Sheppard's book fills a narrow niche for professionals interested in simulating how their projected designs will look in their setting. The book is logically written with step-by-step instructions, case studies, estimated simulation costs, field reports, and standards and policies aimed at gaining project approval from planning bodies or clients. A variety of graphic types, a glossary, chapter-by-chapter references, an expanded bibliography, index, and appendixes make this book an excellent resource for this restricted audience. -G. F.
